Road safety stakeholder collaboration: insights from Lebanon and the United States

This review paper examines the collaborative efforts of schools, government agencies, industry stakeholders, and civil society organizations in tackling road safety issues. Schools integrate safety education into curricula, while government agencies develop and enforce laws, conduct awareness campaigns, and maintain infrastructure. Industry players contribute through vehicle safety innovations, safe driving incentives, and technological solutions, while civil society focuses on advocacy, victim support, and community engagement. Despite challenges like policy gaps, resource constraints, and cultural barriers, these collaborations have shown effectiveness in reducing accidents and fostering a safety culture. The paper emphasizes the need for strengthened multi-sectoral partnerships to sustain and enhance road safety efforts.
