Introduction
Dear colleagues,
We are in the middle of the fifth UN Global Road Safety Week.
Cities and regions have a leading role to play in making their streets safe for all road users: pedestrians and cyclists, children and older people, women and men, those inside a bus, outside a truck or in a wheelchair on the sidewalk.
I am happy to see how many cities, regions and other stakeholders have come to Brussels this week to discuss how to improve walking, cycling and the safe use of new shared mobility services (read more below).
It is clear that a modal shift towards more walking and cycling plays a major role not just in improving sustainability but also in road safety!
I wish you a nice read and safe week!
Karen Vancluysen Secretary General
