GET INVOLVED WITH THE #RETHINKMOBILITY UN GLOBAL ROAD SAFETY WEEK The 7th UN Global Road Safety Week will be held 15–21 May 2023 with the theme Streets for Life #RethinkMobility. The week is coordinated by WHO and is held every other year in May. NGOs, governments, community groups, and individuals mobilize around the theme, organizing local and national campaigns to call for safer transport systems for the people that use them. This year's #RethinkMobility UN Global Road Safety Week is a significant opportunity to advocate for specific interventions. These include 30 km/h zones, traffic calming measures, and other interventions that support safe walking and cycling, contribute to SDGs 3.6 and 11.2, and save lives. #RethinkMobility is enabling NGOs to focus their campaigns on a narrow, evidence-based ask, while engaging a broad range of partners, including climate, equity, health, and urban planning advocates. Here are some tools to help you plan your campaign and share the #RethinkMobility message: Use the ACCOUNTABILTY TOOLKIT to prepare your advocacy; Check out some campaign ACTIVITY IDEAS; Download MATERIALS; Support the campaign on social media using the hashtags; #RethinkMobility and #StreetsforLife; Join our Twitterstorm on Wednesday 17 May 2023 at 14:00 CEST by posting your support for the campaign on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook using the hashtags.

#RETHINKMOBILITY WITH THE ACCOUNTABILITY TOOLKIT Last month, the Alliance launched the Accountability Toolkit, a set of practical, customizable, web-based tools to support NGOs to keep their governments accountable for reducing road deaths and injuries.  The toolkit can be used to help prepare UN Global Road Safety Week advocacy: Assess what your government needs to do using the ACCOUNTABILITY CHECKLIST; Identify necessary actions using the GOVERNMENT TO DO LIST; Four of the Alliance Priority Interventions directly support safer walking and cycling: 30 KM/H ZONES  LOWER SPEED LIMITS PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES TRAFFIC CALMING Find consolidated data drawn from international research and local and national case studies to support your advocacy in the NGO TALKING POINTS. Access the Accountability Toolkit HERE. Register for our upcoming online capacity building series on how to use the toolkit HERE.

NGO INSPIRATION TO #RETHINKMOBILITY Around the world, NGO advocacy is helping to bring the needs of pedestrians and cyclists and other vulnerable road users to the attention of local and national authorities. This means that better road safety decisions can be made to prioritize the safety of those most at risk on our roads. In Punjab, India, Alliance members are seeing advocacy progress that is making their cities safer for those who walk and cycle. Read how a coalition of Alliance members is leveraging a national mandate to push for 25 km/h zones around schools HERE. Read how NGOs in two of Punjab's cities, Chandigarh and Patiala, are using data gathered around the city to show the specific changes needed to improve pedestrians' journeys and how their authorities are responding HERE.

RETHINK MOBILITY AT ITF The International Transport Forum (ITF) is a key connecting point for transport ministers and authorities, academics, and the private sector. It is a valuable forum to call for stronger evidence-based action to make our transport systems safer. Ahead of this year's ITF, the Alliance will hold Live from Leipzig: #RethinkMobility, a livestreamed event on a moving tram in Leipzig, where the forum will be held. The event will feature the Ministers of Transport from Chile and Tunisia. They will discuss the evidence-based solutions needed to rethink mobility, using examples from their countries. You can register to watch the session, which will be held at 15:00 CEST on Tuesday 23 May, HERE. This will be the second year that we have run a Live from Leipzig online event. Last year's event is pictured above. During ITF, the Alliance will also jointly host a side event alongside Sum4All, with IRF and Michelin, and with support from FedEx. The event, titled Enhancing Policy, Action and Accountability for Safe Mobility, will be held on Friday 26 May 2023 at 9:00 CEST. It will present Sum4All's new report and the Alliance Accountability Toolkit. The event is in person only. Please join us if you are in Leipzig. Find out more HERE.
