Road traffic deaths and injuries are a major public health and development issue.
More than 1.2 million people are killed, and up to 50 million are injured, every year. The vast majority of casualties occur in middle and low income countries.
Every six seconds someone is killed or seriously injured on the world's roads.
Supporting the implementation of the United Nations' Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020, the Road Safety Fund facilitates alliances between private sector donors and NGOs to support road injury prevention programmes in countries and communities working to defeat this growing epidemic of road death and injury.
Poor air quality is a contributory factor in the deaths of at least 3.2 million people annually, according to WHO.
Motorised traffic is a significant source of major pollutants, including carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and other particulate matter.
