UrbSafe Ghana Response to GRSA Technical Working Group Report

We commend the Ghana Road Safety Authority for advancing evidence-based dialogue through the Technical Working Group Report on vehicle safety.

The findings highlight critical structural issues within Ghana’s transport ecosystem, particularly the role of imported vehicle configurations and the unintended consequences of revenue driven transport models. The observation that unrealistic revenue targets push drivers toward speeding and unsafe practices is especially important and aligns with growing evidence on how economic incentives shape road user behavior.

At UrbSafe Ghana, we emphasize that road safety cannot be addressed through enforcement alone. A Safe System approach requires:
• Aligning economic incentives with safety outcomes
Transport operators should not be forced into unsafe behaviors due to daily sales targets or low passenger capacity constraints.
• Strengthening vehicle import and standards enforcement
Ensuring that vehicles entering the system are fit-for-purpose, safe, and compliant with national regulations.
• Integrating behavioral and structural interventions
This includes enforcement, but also financing models, driver welfare, training systems, and accountability mechanisms.
• Prioritizing data-driven and context-specific reforms
Particularly in high-risk sectors such as commercial transport and emerging mobility systems.

We believe this report provides a timely opportunity to rethink transport governance in Ghana; moving beyond fragmented interventions toward coordinated, multi-sectoral strategies that address the root causes of unsafe road use.

UrbSafe Ghana remains committed to supporting policy dialogue, research, and implementation efforts that make Ghana’s roads safer for all.

⭐ The African Road Safety Charter has come into force 🌍

The Charter marks Africa’s first continental and legally-binding road safety framework. It opens a new era for road safety governance on the continent, and compels countries to take proven, life-saving actions to boost road safety.
