This project focuses on road infrastructure and its role in sustainable
urban transportation. The project's guiding principle is taken from a
report of the Commission for Global Road Safety, which says, "...At a
minimum 10% of all road infrastructure projects should be committed to
road safety. This principle should be rigorously and consistently applied by all bilateral and multilateral
donors." The project targets the financing community to help catalyze
change at the local and national levels. The end goal is that a
dedicated percentage of road building and maintanance funds will be put
aside for safety, cycling, and walking facilities--improving road
safety while reducing emissions and reducing poverty. The Road
Design and Finance for Safety, Sustainability and Accessibility is
funded by the FIA Foundation and by the UN Environment Programme
(UNEP).
