Statisitc for 2013 : total accidents in Malta 1583.Road safety in the European Union,statistics March 2015:Road safety is about people. Every day, millions of EU citizens usethe roads: walking, driving or riding a bicycle.Last year, almost 25 700 people did not make it home; more than200 000 people came home with life-changing, serious injuries.Every fatal or serious crash on our roads is a tragedy. It is our moralobligation – our shared responsibility – to take road safety seriously.The young people, between 15 and 24 years old,make up 11 % of the population but 17 % of all road fatalities. This means that the young still face the largest risk in traffic. The good news is that their share is decreasing. In recent years, fatalities among young road users have decreased more than for any other age group. These deaths or injuries can be prevented, if measures are taken by governments, police, health practitioners etc. But road safety can't be the responsibility of them alone. Also Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) play an important role in increasing road safety awareness. NGOs have an important input at grass roots level. And that's why by this project organizing we want act in our local communities and also support United Nations “Decade of Action for Road Safety” who's aim is reducing global road deaths 2011- 2020. The goal of this decade is “..to stabilise and then reduce road traffic fatalities around the world by increasing activities at national, regional and local levels.”
