Following the publication of the Government's Road Safety Strategy, Delivering Vision Zero brings together leaders and practitioners from across road safety, transport, active travel, public health, planning, enforcement, policy and communications to chart an evidence-based path towards eliminating deaths and serious injuries on our roads.
Reducing road danger is the essential and non-negotiable foundation of Vision Zero. But achieving it also represents a far wider opportunity: to reshape our streets into places that are safer, healthier, fairer and more liveable for everyone – particularly children and those most vulnerable to harm.
Through keynote addresses, panel discussions and practical breakout sessions, the conference will explore how we move beyond isolated interventions towards a mature Safe System approach. Delegates will examine what the evidence tells us about what works, how to deliver change at pace in a challenging political and funding environment, and how different sectors can collaborate to turn ambition into reality.
The programme will showcase real-world examples of delivery from across the UK, explore emerging tools and technologies, and consider how safer streets can unlock wider benefits for communities, public health, active travel and everyday life.
Delivering Vision Zero is for anyone committed to eliminating road deaths and serious injuries – and to creating streets where people can move, meet, play and live without fear.

Contributing evidence and evaluation on road safety and speed reduction
Without getting people out of cars, our roads will never be safe, and without making our roads safe we will never get people out of cars. That’s why Beccy and I are two sides of the same coin, fighting for a region where road death is a thing of the past and sustainable, healthy, joyful transport options are open to everyone. It really is our only chance of creating streets which we can all be proud to call home

For over a century, we have been the driving force behind safety, from pioneering seatbelt laws to founding initiatives like The Tufty Club, Cycling Proficiency, and IOSH. Our vision is clear: an Accident-Free World. We're a charity that leads the safety agenda, shapes government policy, raises industry standards, and drives behavioural change across all areas of life – work, road, home, and leisure. Working alongside our members, we are determined to make accidents preventable, creating a safer society for everyone.
The Road Danger Reduction Forum was set up in 1993 by transport professionals working in local government.
The Road Danger Reduction (RDR) agenda advocates for a safety regime for highways similar to those in industry where danger is targeted at source – namely the (mis)use of motor vehicles in the highway environment.
It is advocated for as part of the implementation of transport programmes based on the public health and local and global environmental objectives of sustainable transport policy.
RDR has been referred to in programmes advanced by Active Travel organisations, and Transport for London and some other highway authorities.
