Today, global motor vehicle fleets, including passenger and commercial vehicles, exceed 2 billion and are projected to reach 3.5 billion by 2030. Small to midsize fleets account for approximately 88 per cent of all commercial fleets on the road. In alignment with the Global Plan of the Decade of Action for Road Safety and UN SDG target 3.6 to reduce road traffic fatalities and injuries by 50 per cent by 2030, the programme seeks to contribute, through knowledge and capacity-building, to prevent road-related fatalities.

The regional training workshop is part of UNITAR ‘Fleet Safety Global Training Programme’, implemented in partnership with Together for Safer Roads, bringing best practices from the largest public and private sector fleets, along with leading road safety technology companies, with the goal of empowering fleet safety leaders to strengthen safety systems and build a culture of safety in their organizations.

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

• Identify risk factors contributing to fleet-related road incidents
• Analyse how leadership behaviours and organizational culture influence driver safety and risk reduction
• Develop an action plan to improve fleet safety performance using best practices and available technologies

The two-day in-person workshop aims to serve as a platform to exchange best practices on how to effectively address the risk drivers faced on the road while ensuring vehicle safety.

Day 1 of the workshop will include best practices of public and private sector fleets, expert-led discussions, and local case studies. Key topics will include:

• Safe Systems approach and Vision Zero
• UN initiatives in fleet safety management

Day 2 will be dedicated to reviewing the foundational modules of the Fleet Safety programme, addressing: 

• Safety leadership
  • Cultivating and maintaining a strong culture of safety
  • Principles of fairness, openness, capability, unity, and sustainability
• Training and Development
• Technology
  • Tailored guidance to integrate technology in fleets

This workshop is designed for fleet managers of public and private sector fleets, small and midsize fleets, government agencies, and logistics professionals.
