Traffic Safety Initiatives: Global Initiative to Reduce Traffic Fatalities

Funded by a grant from Bloomberg Philanthropies, the Bloomberg Initiative for Global Road Safety (BIGRS) is a five-year (2015–2019) project focusing on the reduction of fatalities and injuries from traffic crashes through strengthened road safety legislation and evidence-based interventions at the local level. The initiative is working to improve road safety in 10 cities: Accra, Ghana; Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; Bandung, Indonesia; Bangkok, Thailand; Bogotá, Colombia; Fortaleza, Brazil; Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; Mumbai, India; São Paulo, Brazil; and Shanghai, China. Through the Member Engagement & Leadership Services team (MELS), the IACP is part of the BIGRS effort in São Paulo.
