How We Save Lives

The Bloomberg Philanthropies Initiative for Global Road Safety works with governments and communities to end preventable deaths and injuries. Our work has saved lives and made roads safer by focusing solutions on some of the biggest risk factors.

Some of the Bloomberg Philanthropies Initiative for Global Road Safety’s work includes:

  • Reviewing legislation and providing recommendations to strengthen road safety laws to meet international best practice
  • Monitoring and analyzing traffic-related deaths, injuries, and policy effectiveness
  • Developing mass media campaigns, supported with enforcement, to increase seat-belt and helmet use and reduce drinking and driving and speeding
  • Supporting municipal and national governments in designing safer modes of transit, including mass transportation systems, walking infrastructure, and bike routes
  • Funding crash tests of top-selling cars in emerging markets and publishing their results to advance vehicle safety standards
