Pamoja Road Safety Initiative (PRSI) welcomes the launch of the Decade of Action for Sustainable Transport (2026-2035) and its accompanying Implementation Plan, recognizing it as a pivotal opportunity to advance equitable, safe, and sustainable mobility for all Kenyans. As a grassroots-driven initiative built on community passion, youth engagement, and citizen advocacy, we applaud the Plan’s acknowledgement of the critical role of safe public transport, non-motorized mobility, and people-centered urban design — issues that remain at the heart of Kenya’s transport challenges.
Road crashes continue to take an unacceptable toll: more than 1.19 million lives lost globally every year, with millions more injured. Kenya and other low- and middle-income countries experience a disproportionate share of this burden. Pedestrians, cyclists, boda boda riders, and public transport users — many from vulnerable socio-economic groups — are the most exposed yet least protected. Advancing sustainable transport in Kenya is inseparable from reducing these preventable deaths and injuries.
We therefore welcome the Plan’s prioritization of walking, cycling, and high-quality public
transport as essential modes for safe and sustainable mobility. These modes not only improve
safety and affordability, but also contribute to cleaner air, reduced emissions, healthier
communities, and inclusive access to opportunities. We strongly support the Plan’s commitment
to the Safe System approach, recognizing that responsibility for safety lies with those who
design, operate, and regulate the transport system.
As PRSI, we believe that successful implementation of the Plan must turn these principles into practical, measurable, and adequately resourced actions. We emphasize the following opportunities:
PRSI stands ready to collaborate with government institutions, UN agencies, NGOs, youth groups, and communities across Kenya to ensure that road safety remains central to sustainable transport action. We remain committed to empowering a strong citizen movement through awareness campaigns, youth leadership, community engagement, and advocacy that prioritizes safe, inclusive, and sustainable mobility for all.
Sustainable transport cannot be achieved unless it is safe — for every person, in every community, across Kenya.
