The Global Alliance of NGOs for Road Safety (the Alliance)’s #CommitToAct Mobility Snapshot campaign will be held 20-26 May 2024.

The campaign aims to shine a light on the unsafe journeys that pedestrians and other road users face every day and the cost effective, evidence-based safety solutions that could make those journeys safer. It will mobilise safety and mobility advocates to get out onto their streets and collect simple Mobility Snapshot data to show the reality of people’s daily journeys. Join in by doing a Mobility Snapshot and sharing it on social media during campaign week.

Mobility Snapshots involve using simple tools to collect data at intersections where pedestrians mix with motor vehicles and which lack footpaths, crossings, 30 km/h speed limits, or speed humps or other measures to slow traffic. The data can be used for in-country advocacy, for example to advocate for implementation or allocation of resources for safer road infrastructure or lower speed limits, road safety or walking and cycling policies, or for community mobilisation.

The Mobility Snapshots will also be used by the Alliance to present a global picture of how the needs of people who use the roads, especially those who are most at risk, are being overlooked in street design and infrastructure throughout high-, low-, and middle-income countries, and demand evidence-based action to address the 1.19 million road deaths that occur each year on the world’s roads, aligned to SDG 3.6 to reduce road deaths and injuries by 50% by 2030.
