Road Safety Analysis is increasingly engaging in work with international significance, whether this is thought leadership, best practice in intervention design or specific solutions that are transferable.

When the company was founded in 2010, RSA set out with the vision to become the UK’s leading provider of road safety analytical, social marketing & support services; several years on it is not surprising that there are a range of opportunities that have opened up to engage in international markets.

Global Resources – Save Kids Lives


The UN decade of action for road safety has been hugely important in galvanising the global effort to address the challenge of road death and injury. The recent inclusion of road safety in the Sustainable Development Goals is a result of the tireless work of many organisations around the world.

The focus of the decade in 2015 was #savekidslives emphasising the road risks experienced by children. In partnership with Road Safety GB, RSA developed a suite of education resources for the campaign that were made available in English, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, French and Spanish.

The resources blended advice and guidance based on the decade’s 5 pillars whilst making cross-curricular connections through use of national comparison data and classroom maps. All the resources are still available to download here.
