What Next?
o Establishment of NRSC through the approval of road safety act
o Action plan update and development of sectoral (Pillar wise) business plan
o Drafting and approval of road safety related legal instruments
o Development several standards (Road Safety Audit Guidelines, Helmet Standards, barriers, warrant for signalization etc. etc.)
o Establishment of dedicated centers in different departments
o Adequate jobs should be created for retaining the knowledge
o There is a huge funding gap on road safety program and this sustainable funding mechanism should be established for meeting the road safety fund.
Thank You!
