Dear Friends,<\/p>\n

COVID-19 has quickly become the main priority for most of our governments. As road safety and mobility NGOs and advocates, what is our role in this crisis?<\/p>\n

Our priority, as always, is the safety of our citizens.\u00a0Hospitals and emergency services cannot manage road crash victims as they struggle to cope with the pandemic and governments are working hard to contain the virus. The strongest road safety message we can offer at this time is to follow your government's advice, stay at home, and if you need to go out, walk, drive, or ride carefully: use a seat belt or helmet, reduce your speed, don't drink and drive, and stay off your mobile phone. Be responsible for your own sake and the sake of everyone.<\/p>\n

We wish you all well in these challenging times. Please stay safe and keep in touch.<\/p>\n

Yours sincerely,<\/p>\n

Lotte Brondum

WHAT DOES COVID MEAN FOR MOBILITY AND NGOs?<\/strong>
\nWithin the last month, COVID-19 has shifted governments' and citizens' priorities and drastically altered our day-to-day lifestyles. It has implications for nearly every area of our lives and our work. Road safety is no exception.It is likely that the pandemic will have a long-term impact on the way we work, travel, and interact with one another. The Alliance will be holding a series of calls for NGOs to discuss what the pandemic means for road safety, how we respond now, and how we equip ourselves for new challenges and ways of working. Sign up HERE<\/a>.Read about some of the emerging road safety implications of the COVID-19 pandemic, how NGOs are responding, and links to relevant resources\u00a0HERE<\/a>.While many things are uncertain and the picture is rapidly evolving, there is one road safety message that is clear. Charlie Mock, Professor of Global Health, University of Washington, sums it up, \u201cThe medical system is being stretched to, and, in some cases, beyond capacity in many locations. Hence, there is even more reason than usual to drive safely (including obeying speed limits), to avoid alcohol-impaired driving, and to use proper restraints. There is also good reason to avoid driving unless you really need to.\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

ONE MONTH SINCE SWEDEN\u00a0<\/strong>
\nJust over one month ago, the 3rd Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety concluded with new momentum to reduce road deaths and injuries on the world's roads.\u00a0Watch our new video\u00a0recalling our call to action for world leaders HERE<\/a>.The Stockholm Declaration was the primary output of the conference and will form the basis for a new UN resolution on road safety. Find the Declaration\u00a0HERE.<\/a>\u00a0While we know that the General Assembly meeting will not take place in April as planned, this will be a key document, and we remain ready to push its agenda.To catch up or as a reminder of the key events in Sweden, you can also find videos, photos, and films of the high-level panels and parallel sessions HERE<\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

COMMITMENT FOR YOUNG VICTIMS IN SPAIN<\/strong>
\nThe first moment after a road crash is one of great confusion: people are in a state of shock and can experience intense reactions that they do not know how to manage.On 10 February 2020, Alliance member P(A)T, Spain, held a public ceremony as part of the #CommitToAct campaign. At the event, Miquel Buch, Minister of the Interior, and Juli Gendrau, Director of the Servei Catal\u00e0 de Tr\u00e0nsit, committed to expand immediate psychological care for all seriously injured crash victims under the age of 18 (previously available to only those under age 12) and to expand the support for victims' families up to 12 months after an incident.\u00a0Read more HERE<\/a> and explore more commitments on our commitment tracker HERE.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
