Traffic safety footprint and safe organisations
(2025) p.277-284- Abstract
A core principle of the Safe System approach is shared responsibility among stakeholders and road users. Traditionally, public actors have shouldered most of the stakeholder responsibility, and traffic safety has mainly been viewed as a duty of governments [1,2]. However, the United Nations and the World Health Organisation call on all stakeholders, both public and private, to take on the responsibility and move towards a world free from road traffic fatalities and serious injuries [3,4]. During the third Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety, academic experts formulated nine key recommendations for the second decade of action for road safety.

A core principle of the Safe System approach is shared responsibility among stakeholders and road users. Traditionally, public actors have shouldered most of the stakeholder responsibility, and traffic safety has mainly been viewed as a duty of governments [1,2]. However, the United Nations and the World Health Organisation call on all stakeholders, both public and private, to take on the responsibility and move towards a world free from road traffic fatalities and serious injuries [3,4]. During the third Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety, academic experts formulated nine key recommendations for the second decade of action for road safety. Two of these recommendations call on public and private organisations to incorporate road safety into sustainability reporting and to include traffic safety demands in procurement processes [1]. Among these calls for more stakeholders to take on the responsibility for a safe road environment, the concept of the traffic safety footprint has formed. The traffic safety footprint builds on the idea that all organisational activities within the road transport system have an impact on traffic safety and that this can and should be measured [5].
