IndiaRAP is one of the founding partners of the Global Road Safety Initiative – Road Safety Partnership for India that is being convened by the FIA and the World Economic Forum. The first workshop of partners was held in New Delhi in June, 2019 and the IndiaRAP road safety and data partnerships across India were shared with all participants. The potential policy platform for 3-star or better roads across India was shared as well as the potential of the FedEx sponsored Star Rating for Schools Initiative.
The Road Safety Partnership for India seek to mobilize private sector and NGO partnerships for road safety in collaboration with Government. The initiative will seek to share and accelerate good practice and promote a culture of safe mobility on the roads in India.
