The Vision Zero strategy is being exported! Knowledge transferred to other countries – possibilities to sign up to a course to learn about how to implement the success.

In 1997, the Swedish Parliament adopted a ‘vision zero’ goal for road traffic, with the long-term goal that no one would be killed or seriously injured within the road transport system. Vision Zero is an ethical approach, but also constitutes the strategy of forming a safe road transport system. Vision Zero has led to major changes in both working methods and interventions, which will be presented in this course.

TARGET AUDIENCE
The course is targeted for a broad audience, as we welcome everyone who works in practice with traffic safety issues in various agencies such as government authorities, industry, municipalities, NGOs and
academia. It is also highly relevant for experts within UN authorities, development banks, and other international organisations.

GOALS OF THE COURSE
After the course the participants will have gained a deep understanding of Vision Zero as a policy innovation and how this could affect working methods, as well as how a safe road transport system can be created. Participants will also receive a platform for the understanding of how to continue the work with road safety issues in their respective countries.
