2026 is the start of the UN's Decade of Sustainable Transport

Transport has a major role in advancing the sustainable development goals (SDGs) around the world. The DCE has been working on this for the past 15 years, connecting the best transport experts with the places that need them.

Nearly four in five drivers have admitted to distracted driving such as checking text messages, eating food and adjusting navigation apps in a new survey.

A total of 78 per cent of respondents to the survey admitted to being distracted while behind the wheel

The survey, carried out by 3Gem Research and Insights on behalf of insurance company Aviva, asked 1,000 drivers about their driving habits.

It found 31 per cent of drivers check navigation apps while driving, while three in 10 drivers said they eat or drink while driving.
