Riding in a safe system : outcome from an international workshop on PTW safety

• An international workshop on safety for powered-two-wheelers (PTWs), Riding in a safe system, was held as a series of virtual meetings 9–23 June 2021. The workshop was co- organized by the International Transport Forum (ITF), the Swedish Transport Administration, the International Motorcycling Federation (FIM), the motorcycle manufacturers associations (IMMA and ACEM), and the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI). The workshop was a follow-up of the Third Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety, held in Stockholm in February 2020, but it also built on a previous workshop in 2008 in Lillehammer and the 2015 ITF research report “Improving Safety for Motorcycle, Scooter and Moped Riders” (OECD/ITF, 2015).Globally the use of PTWs is an important mode of transportation. Improving PTW safety can have a huge impact on reducing fatalities and injuries in the transport system. The aim of the workshop was to gather experts on PTW safety representing all important stakeholders to discuss the nine recommendations of the Academic Expert Group and their application to motorcyclists’ safety. The main goal was to develop a set of priority actions to improve motorcycling safety for the decade 2021–2030, taking regional aspects into account.
