Sustainable transport and efficient use of safe public transportation, rethinking and shifting to non-motorised modes that protect vulnerable road users is picking momentum globally.

According to the World Health Organisation, road traffic crashes account for most deaths of children and adults aged five to 29, globally. In Kenya, crash data points to the fact that vulnerable road users including pedestrians, motorcyclists and pillion passengers are most affected. This calls for urgent interventions.
