The theme of the conference is \u201cCollaborating on the United Nations\u2019 (UN) Decade of Action for Road Safety\u201d. The period 2021-2030 marks the second Decade of Action by the World Heath Organization and the UN Road Safety Collaboration.\u00a0 The UN General Assembly has set out the ambitious target of preventing at least 50% of global road traffic deaths and injuries by 2030. The Global Plan emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to road safety and calls on the continued implementation of the Safe Systems Approach, leveraging co-benefits of other Sustainable Development Goals, and ensuring shared responsibility among all actors to achieve this target.<\/p>\n

Using the lens of the Decade of Action, the 2022 CARSP Conference aims to build onto the momentum from the past decade\u2019s successes, while highlighting the priority areas going forward.<\/p>\n

The conference will also focus on such priority road safety issues as Speed Management<\/strong>, Rural Road Safety<\/strong>, Vulnerable Road Users (including Active Transportation), and Traffic Safety Culture.<\/strong>\u00a0 \u201cTraffic Safety Culture is the shared belief system of a group of people, which influences road user behaviors and stakeholder actions that impact traffic safety\u201d.\u00a0 Weaved throughout our conference, as always, is the goal of achieving Vision Zero by applying the Safe Systems Approach.<\/p>\n

The conference theme, \u201cCollaborating on the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety\u201d and priority road safety issues will be explored within the plenary, panel, and paper sessions.\u00a0 While there is a particular focus on the theme and priority road safety issues, authors are still invited to submit abstracts on a variety of road safety issues.<\/p>\n

The conference is aimed at road safety practitioners from many disciplines, including, but not limited to:\u00a0 health professionals, engineers, government officials, crash re-constructionists, insurers, researchers, and enforcement personnel.\u00a0 While their approaches vary, these professionals all share the same goal: to make our roads safer.<\/p>\n
