Comprehensive Road Safety Program of Mexico City

The participatory process of drafting the Comprehensive Road Safety Program of Mexico City allowed citizens to comment on each of their proposals through a web platform. The comments were processed and included in the final document of the Program. In addition, three workshops were organized with activists, civil society organizations, academia, the private sector and public officials. The first workshop discussed the Global Plan for the United Nations Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020. The second workshop invited participants to define the minimum content of the Program. In a third workshop, for the first time, civil society was brought together with public officials to build a consensus on the feasibility and urgency of the main strategic actions to save lives on the streets.
