Road traffic crashes continue to take a heartbreaking toll around the world, with an estimated 1.19 million lives lost each year- that's one life lost every 26 seconds. As we close out the year, it’s a meaningful moment to pause, to appreciate the work we’ve done together, and to remember why this work matters so deeply.
At NETS, we’re grateful to collaborate with members and partners who share a commitment to helping employees, their families, and communities stay safe on the world’s roadways, and we're proud of the progress made this past year:
- Upgraded our Annual benchmark report to facilitate easier reporting
- Updated the Post-Collision Coaching Toolkit to include a step-by-step coaching framework rooted in behavioral science
- Convened more than 200 fleet safety professionals, sponsors, and advocates from around the world in Minneapolis to share insights, build partnerships, and advance road safety
- Promoted and facilitated participation by NETS members in pilot programs and studies to advance road safety technologies and emerging safety initiatives
- Created a new employer vulnerable road users toolkit for the Streets for Life: Unlocking the Multiple Benefits of Safe Walking and Cycling global campaign
- Continued membership in the United Nations Road Safety Collaboration (UNRSC) to support global road safety efforts
- Collaborated with other like-minded road safety organizations
- Initiated the update to the Cost of Motor Vehicle Crashes to Employers report and calculator (new version coming soon!)
Looking ahead, our shared mission remains clear and unchanged. May the year ahead bring renewed energy, compassion, and collaboration as we continue working toward a future where everyone arrives home safely.
Warmest wishes for a safe and happy New Year.
