We believe that no death or serious injury is acceptable on our roads, and we are working in partnership to reduce road danger in our region.
The Combined Authority have established a West Yorkshire Vision Zero Board to provide leadership on our commitment to reducing the number of people killed and seriously injured (KSI) on our roads by 50% by 2030, and to zero by 2040.
The Board, chaired by Alison Lowe, Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime, oversees the West Yorkshire Safe Roads Partnership in delivering the Safe System approach for a safe, sustainable road environment, supporting active travel ambitions and improving access for all road users.
The West Yorkshire Vision Zero partnership consists of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, the five local authorities, Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds, Wakefield, West Yorkshire Police, West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service, National Highways, victim support services, and road safety campaigners.

The Safe System is an approach to road safety which puts people at the centre, with a view that every road death or serious injury is preventable.
Investigations into collisions show that many road deaths were preventable and that there are five main contributory factors that cause serious road traffic collisions. These are known as the 'Fatal Five'.
West Yorkshire Police has developed a form that can be used by the public to submit dash cam footage of dangerous driving.
