Mission
The London Road Safety Council (LRSC) is an independent, non-profit advocacy group dedicated to improving road safety across London’s 31 boroughs and Westminster City Council and the City of London Corporation. We serve as a unique forum that combines the expertise of road safety officers with the political acumen of transport cabinet members, councillors, and other stakeholders. This synergy allows us to share best practice, collaborate on data-driven initiatives, and drive policy changes that make London’s streets safer for all users – pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists and motorists. We communicate directly with the general public via road safety education campaigns agreed by our members.
Vision
Our vision is for London to become a global leader in road safety, implementing a safe systems approach that aims to significantly reduce fatalities and serious injuries on our roads. Through evidence-based policymaking, public education, and cross-borough cooperation, we can create a transportation network that prioritises the safety and wellbeing of all Londoners, with particular focus on children, young people, and vulnerable road users.
