About Us
Together for Safer Roads (TSR), a global non-governmental organization, is a coalition of purpose-driven companies, city governments, and community stakeholders focused on building cross-sector partnerships that lead to safer fleets and roads.
Bridging the Road Safety Gap
Leveraging the technology, data, and expertise of its members, TSR creates innovative programs, dynamic public-private partnerships, conducts critical research and hosts important industry convenings all aimed at supporting the capacity of fleets, large and small, public and private, in their efforts to prevent traffic crashes, injuries, and fatalities and ultimately achieve Vision Zero.
From our innovative work on blind zones in commercial trucks, to our signature FOCUS on Fleet Safety training program, our initiatives work toward achieving greater fleet safety in comprehensive, collaborative and results-focused ways, leading to real and long-lasting change.
The History of Together for Safer Roads
Together for Safer Roads (TSR) was formed as a global NGO in 2014 during the first United Nations Decade of Action for Road Safety (2011-2020). Recognizing that road traffic incidents caused 3,000 deaths a day globally, and were the 8th leading cause of death in the world among 15 to 29 year olds and projected to be the 5th leading cause by 2030, 10 companies led by Anheuser-Busch InBev came together to create the foundational TSR coalition. Today, that coalition numbers over 50 members, including some of the largest fleets in the world, leading technology companies and global cities.
TSR’s work aligns with both the renewed goals of the UN’s Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021-2030 – an ambitious target of preventing at least 50% of road traffic deaths and injuries by 2030 – as well as the comprehensive road safety goals of each of our members.
Our members represent some of the largest and most important fleets in the world as well as pre-eminent road safety technology companies. We work with governments, businesses and community stakeholders on a variety of distinct projects with the ultimate goal of achieving Vision Zero – the total elimination of traffic fatalities and severe injuries.
