The Towards Zero Foundation (TZF) is a UK registered charity (NO.7903686) working internationally to encourage a world free from road fatalities. The Foundation serves as platform for co-operation between organisations committed to the application of the Safe System approach to road injury prevention that aim to eliminate road deaths and promote sustainable mobility. The TZF recognises that much m
ore needs to be done to encourage the application of effective road safety policies and legislation globally. As the mid-term of the Decade of Action for Road Safety arrived, still too few United Nations (UN) member states have adopted effective strategies for road safety or applied an adequate framework of policies and laws to support the achievement of ambitious casualty reduction targets. To assist this task, TZF is establishing a network to serve as a focal point for policy makers and practitioners responsible for road safety in national governments and parliaments, cities and local authorities and in the private sector and civil society. The TZF will promote the Safe System approach to road injury prevention and progress towards the vision of zero fatalities and serious injuries by facilitating exchange of experience and best practice in policy and legislative action. It will serve as an open platform for road safety policy makers and practitioners to share their experiences and exchange information on effective injury reduction strategies and actions around the world.
