WRI ROSS可持续城市中心正在与3M合作,以通过更安全的学校路线来改善印度儿童的道路安全条件。该项目将借鉴3M和WRI的丰富经验,以通过数据分析并实现实现“安全系统”道路安全方法的目标干预措施,以更深入地了解德里和孟买学校周围的道路安全状况。

根据来自国家记录局,每年约有145,000人在印度的道路上丧生,这是世界上最多的人数,其中包括15,600多名儿童。这相当于每天在印度道路上43名儿童死亡。2015年,据报道,在学校,学院和其他教育机构附近发生了所有崩溃的5.8%。孟买所有撞车事故中有50%以上是行人撞车事故。

Road safety is a major area of concern for children and families in how they choose to travel to school. A recent survey of children in one school in Mumbai by WRI India revealed that over 50% children live within 2 kilometers of their school, and close to 25% live within 1 kilometer. However, many children travel to school on motorized two-wheelers or in personal automobiles since walking conditions are unsafe due to poor-quality or nonexistent sidewalks.

WRI and 3M have a shared commitment to improve road safety conditions for children around the world. This includes collecting and analyzing data, selecting two schools to identify road safety issues and provide recommendations for solutions, supporting implementation of those solutions, measuring short- and long-term impact, and providing a report of the learnings. This deeper understanding will help inform larger-scale interventions, for example through regulation and/or state/city plans, to help better protect children commuting to school.

该项目以强大的数据分析和战术城市主义为基础,以吸引决策者并证明改变是可能的。通过这种合作伙伴关系,WRI和3M将利用他们在道路安全方面的共同经验和技术知识以及对当地环境的理解,以帮助为容易受到道路交通损伤的儿童创造系统性变化。
