Overview

CIHT has launched a new article exploring the case for investing in improving road safety outcomes across the UK, drawing on recent data, policy developments, and economic analysis.  

The Government’s Plan for Change has identified Kickstarting Economic Growth and Building an NHS Fit for the Future as two of its key missions. Reducing the economic and public health burdens associated with road traffic collisions can help deliver the Government’s missions, but more research is needed to build a compelling business case for government to make road safety improvements a key underlying principle of its health and economic policies. 

With road collisions costing society over £54 billion in 2024, and vulnerable road users disproportionately affected, This article gathers existing evidence and reinforces CIHT’s call for further research into the impact of road safety outcomes on the NHS, social care, and economic productivity. 

Read this article, exclusively available to CIHT members, to learn more about cost appraisal, key research from around the globe and some of the latest UK road safety schemes.
