The International Transport Forum (ITF) is launching a project to develop a 10-year National Road Safety Strategy for Ukraine.
The initiative was requested by Ukraine’s Ministry for Development of Communities and Territories. This will be the first of several projects implemented in cooperation between the Ministry and the ITF.
More than 3300 people died in road crashes in Ukraine in 2024, according to the National Police of Ukraine. The number of all crashes involving licensed transport (buses and trucks), according to the State Service of Ukraine for Transport Safety, increased by almost 25% in 2024 in a year-on year comparison with 2023.
The new National Road Safety Strategy will be carried out through the ITF’s Common Interest Group for Transport in Ukraine (CIG4U), together with the road safety charity EASST. It will lay the foundation for a significant reduction in the number of road fatalities over the next decade. (....)
