John,

In 2020, Ho Chi Minh City in Viet Nam had 133 fewer road deaths than in 2015.

In Mumbai, India, road fatalities declined from 611 in 2015, to 350 in 2020.

Local projects in these cities have saved hundreds of lives over the years.
And their success points the way toward tackling one of the world's greatest
public health challenges: road safety.
Globally, traffic accidents account for more than 50 million injuries and
nearly 1.3 million deaths in an average year. For children and young adults
aged five to 29, traffic accidents are the leading cause of death in the world.
For more than 15 years, the Bloomberg Philanthropies Initiative for Global
Road Safety

has worked with international organizations and governments to implement
proven, life-saving measures. Check out our videos on the projects referenced
above to see how strategic interventions -- slowing the speed of traffic near a
school, or rerouting vehicles at a single intersection -- can bring communities
together to keep people safe and save lives:
