JOIN OUR CAMPAIGN: #COMMITTOACT
The theme of the Fifth UN Global Road Safety Week was leadership. The
Alliance’s new campaign, #CommitToAct, continues this theme, calling on
government authorities to show leadership by taking action on their road
safety commitments.
#CommitToAct will incorporate a series of initiatives to help NGOs push
their governments for commitment and action on road safety in the run up
to the Third Global Ministerial Meeting on Road Safety in Sweden 2020.
The #CommitToAct campaign will include efforts to generate meaningful
road safety commitments through the Round the World Roundtables,
tracking to ensure that these commitments are followed up, and a series
of actions leading to a coordinated civil society event in Sweden in
February 2020.
We encourage you to get involved. Listen to Lotte Brondum, Executive Director of the Alliance, explain #CommitToAct HERE (YouTube), find more about the campaign HERE, and stay tuned for more ways to get involved in the coming months.

COMMITMENT IN TUNISIA
This month, the President of Tunisia announced the creation of a supreme
committee for road safety attached to the presidential office. This is a
significant move because it brings together all the fragmented elements
of road safety in different government departments and other
organizations in one committee under supervision of the president's
office.
Alliance member and recent FedEx Award winner Les Ambassadeurs de la
Sécurité Routière has pushed for this committee for many years. It will
be following up to make sure that the commitment is put into action and
that the committee becomes operational. Read more HERE.

NEW VOLUNTARY TARGETS WEBINARS: CAR STANDARDS AND SPEED MANAGEMENT
We have released two more webinars in our series NGOs and the Voluntary Targets.
- Target 5: Apply high quality standards to new and used
vehicles. “If we could all drive the safest vehicle in our class, then
road traffic trauma would drop by a third,” says Jessica Truong, Global
NCAP, explaining why vehicle safety standard regulation is an essential
element in reducing road traffic injuries.
- Target 6: Reduce speeding. “Crouch down and consider
streets from an eight-year-old’s viewpoint,” says Rod King of 20’s
Plenty For Us. He explains how and why NGOs should advocate for lower
speed limits.
Find the new webinars HERE. All our webinars are free and available via our website and YouTube. You can listen to them as many times as you like.
