The York and North Yorkshire Road Safety Partnership is a group of people from a range of organisations, who choose to come together to see if by working in partnership, they can better help reduce the risk of people being seriously injured or dying on our roads.Nearly all road deaths and injuries are preventable, so the partnership works towards a long-term vision to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries, while increasing safe, healthy, equitable mobility for all.The partnership includes North Yorkshire Police, North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service, Yorkshire Ambulance Service, City of York Council, North Yorkshire Council, National Highways, and the York and North Yorkshire Office for Policing, Fire, and Crime.As a partnership we are committed to working together, to continue sharing resources and expertise to provide a co-ordinated, evidenced-led approach to prevent deaths and injuries on our roads. The casualty reduction we have seen in recent years is welcome but there is still work to do if we want all road users to travel safely without the risk of injury or harm.
