A world where roads are safer for all people

About TSR

Bridging the Road Safety Gap

As a global NGO, we bring together purpose-driven companies, government, and community stakeholders, who actively work together to create safer roads and form partnerships to achieve Vision Zero?the elimination of all traffic fatalities and severe injuries. We leverage member companies? collective private sector insights to advance best practices for companies and their fleets. We address strategic road safety challenges in select locations by working with local government and stakeholders, and we advance innovative solutions to accelerate the growth and social impact of road safety tech.
We address the issue of blind zones and reduce traffic deaths and collisions through our work on retrofittable solutions and redesigned truck cabs.
Drawing on our years of experience making roads safe, we will be waging a multi-channel, integrated marketing campaign to educate people about the dangers of distracted driving.
We help cities test transformational analytics systems to monitor near misses, a leading indicator of crashes, injuries, and fatalities.

We aim to bend the curve on road traffic collisions

Road crashes are one of the leading causes of death and injuries worldwide -- they don't have to be.
