Proportion of road traffic fatalities by road user type (vehicle occupants, bicyclists and pedestrians) in 6 Indian cities (IITD study)
National Policy and TargetsTo reduce road fatalities by 50% in 2020
• National Workshop on “improving the safety of most vulnerable road• users” was held at New Delhi on 03.04.2012. Besides, a meeting was
also held with State Transport Ministers on 31st July 2012. .• the states were advised to draw up an annual action plan for road
safety and strengthen the institutional mechanism at the state level to address road safety issues.
• Setting up of state road safety councils and district road safety committees,
• setting up of road safety funds by pooling of 50% of the penalties realized by way of compounding of traffic offences,
• identifying and rectification of black spots on state highways and rural roads,
• setting up of more driving schools with private participation,• inclusion of road safety curriculum in school syllabus etc. • They were also advised to share their experiences and to adopt
the good practices prevalent in the other states.

Progress since 2012
• Supreme court appointed committee has asked for compliance report on specific items.
• National data continues to underreport vulnerable road users.
• Absence of targeted strategies to achieve target of 50% reduction.
• Number of fatalities continue to increase.
