The Joint Transport Research Centre of the International Transport Forum and the OECD organised a high level seminar on road safety, with support from the FIA Foundation, on 25-26 September 2008 to promote cutting edge policies for achieving major reductions in deaths and serious injuries on the roads and mark the release of its latest report "Towards Zero: Ambitious Road Safety Targets and the Safe System Approach". The objectives of this seminar were: * To disseminate the results of recent road safety research of the Joint OECD/ITF Transport Research Centre, briefing key policy makers. * To engage high level policy makers in discussions on the safe system approach to road safety and explore key implementation issues. * To contribute to moving road safety policy to a new level of ambition in Member and non-member countries, and contribute to the broader debate on the global road safety crisis in preparation for the 2009 UN road safety inter-Ministerial meeting proposed in Moscow in 2009. * To identify areas where further research work would be most useful.
