Connecting road safety leaders and technical experts worldwide.
The Global Road Safety Leadership Institute (GRSLI) offers a suite of leadership training courses. These courses are co-developed and delivered by the Global Road Safety Partnership (GRSP) and the Johns Hopkins International Injury Research Unit (JH-IIRU), with funding from Bloomberg Philanthropies.
Since 2016, these programs have trained over 1,000 road safety professionals across more than 80 low- and middle-income countries to build capacity for designing, advocating for, and implementing data-driven traffic safety policies.
"The course opened my eyes to an entirely new world of road safety thinking. It introduced me to the Safe System Approach in a way that fundamentally changed how I view road crashes, infrastructure, and the role of institutions in preventing death on our roads."
Uganda • GRSLC 2023
"I am now part of a global community of road safety leaders committed to a shared vision of moving towards zero loss of lives. This experience has equipped me with sharper tools, deeper knowledge, and renewed conviction to keep going."
Kenya • GRSLC 2026
"A one-of-a-kind opportunity to learn and exchange with public health and road safety specialists on ways to tackle the leading cause of death for children and young adults all over the world."
France • GRSLC 2026
"By gaining knowledge of the Safe Systems approach and sharing experiences with participants from other countries, we can enhance our organizational growth and uphold our commitment to road safety."
Malaysia • Exec Course 2024
"Beyond the learning sessions, one of the most rewarding aspects was the opportunity to exchange ideas and learn from a truly global community committed to saving lives on our roads."

The video demonstrates that a week without driving can significantly lower greenhouse‑gas emissions while simultaneously reducing the number of road‑traffic injuries, supporting Vision Zero goals. By shifting to walking and cycling, cities not only improve climate resilience through reduced vehicle‑related pollution but also enhance safety by decreasing vehicle‑pedestrian conflicts and exposure to high‑speed traffic.
Read Full SourceThe article’s focus on the bike lane culture war underscores how expanding cycling infrastructure can cut vehicle emissions while also reducing injury risk for cyclists. However, the political disagreement over funding and design standards shows that without careful planning, bike lanes may not fully deliver the intended climate resilience or safety benefits.
Read Full SourceBy offering free, high‑frequency bus services, governments can reduce private vehicle use, lowering greenhouse‑gas emissions and traffic congestion. Fewer cars on the road also decrease collision risk, supporting Vision Zero goals, while bus infrastructure can be designed for resilience against extreme weather, further protecting both passengers and the environment.
Read Full SourceThe Senate discussion over what constitutes a boondoggle and the ongoing culture war over bike lanes illustrate how investment in sustainable infrastructure can reduce vehicle emissions while also improving road safety by providing protected routes for cyclists. However, the debate also highlights concerns that poorly designed or underfunded bike lanes may increase injury risk, underscoring the need for evidence-based planning that balances climate resilience with injury prevention.
Read Full SourceThe resurgence of velomobiles promotes active transport that cuts vehicle emissions, supporting climate resilience by reducing greenhouse gas output. Their enclosed, aerodynamic design also improves rider protection, lowering the risk of injury in traffic and aligning with Vision Zero goals for safer roads.
Read Full SourceBy restricting high‑polluting vehicles, Pune’s LEZ will lower greenhouse‑gas emissions and improve air quality, directly addressing climate resilience. The policy also nudges commuters toward public transport, walking, and cycling, which can reduce the number of high‑speed motor vehicle crashes and overall traffic fatalities, thereby linking climate action with injury prevention.
Read Full SourceReducing traffic noise by just five decibels would lower the annual death toll from noise‑related health effects while simultaneously cutting vehicle miles and associated greenhouse gas emissions. This dual benefit underscores how quieter, more sustainable infrastructure can enhance road safety, encourage active transport, and strengthen climate resilience.
Read Full SourceBy asking key questions before launching a bike path, communities can design routes that encourage low‑emission travel, cut vehicle miles, and lower greenhouse gas emissions. Properly planned paths also separate cyclists from motor traffic, reducing collision risk and improving overall road safety.
Read Full SourceThe article highlights how both highways and large AI data centers contribute to fossil‑fuel emissions while being built with little community oversight, increasing environmental degradation and traffic fatalities. By advocating for community‑driven planning, it links climate resilience—reducing emissions from these infrastructures—to injury prevention through safer, more sustainable transportation networks.
Read Full SourceThe floods, driven by climate change, have destroyed critical road infrastructure in Nepal’s mountainous regions, increasing the risk of traffic accidents and fatalities as vehicles struggle to navigate damaged or blocked routes. The event underscores the need for climate‑resilient road design and emergency response plans that protect both lives and reduce emissions by preventing the need for emergency repairs and detours.
Read Full SourceThe new law earmarks funds for climate‑resilient infrastructure—such as flood‑proof bridges and upgraded roadways—while also supporting Vision Zero safety initiatives, thereby cutting emissions and reducing traffic fatalities.
Read Full SourceBy eliminating the annual clock shift, Manitoba reduces the risk of confusion‑related traffic accidents, supporting Vision Zero goals. The policy also stabilizes lighting schedules, potentially cutting energy demand and associated emissions, thereby enhancing climate resilience of the region’s infrastructure.
Read Full SourceThe video highlights how entrenched anti-bike attitudes in the U.S. hinder the development of safe cycling infrastructure, leading to higher injury rates and discouraging a shift from motorized transport. By limiting active‑transport options, these biases impede emissions reductions and climate resilience efforts, undermining Vision Zero’s goal of zero traffic fatalities while also preventing the adoption of low‑carbon mobility solutions.
Read Full SourceBy installing more e‑car charging stations, NYC supports a shift to lower‑emission vehicles, aligning with climate resilience goals. However, the accompanying plan to permanently allocate more public space for automobiles may encroach on sidewalks and bike lanes, potentially increasing pedestrian and cyclist injury risk and challenging Vision Zero objectives.
Read Full SourceBy eliminating the gas tax, the bill would cut funding for transportation infrastructure, potentially leading to deferred maintenance and higher accident rates, while also reducing revenue for climate‑resilient projects that mitigate extreme weather impacts. The loss of funds could slow the development of active‑transport corridors, hindering emissions reductions and Vision Zero goals.
