The Bloomberg Philanthropies Initiative for Global Road Safety (BIGRS) works with governments and communities to prevent road crashes, deaths and injuries. Since 2007, the initiative has helped implement proven road safety interventions across 22 countries. Currently, the initiative is supporting work in 27 cities and two states across 15 low- and middle-income countries.
Its Resources Hub includes case studies and guidance focusing on five areas:
- Strengthening legislation and Leadership
- Enhancing data collection and surveillance
- Changing road user behavior with media campaigns and enhanced enforcement
