In 2019 in Colombia 6,826 people were killed and 36,812 injured in road crashes, according to figures reported by the National Road Safety Observatory (ONSV).
This represents a rate of 13.82 deaths and 74.52 injuries per 100,000 inhabitants, of which motorcyclists are the most affected road user, representing 53.7% of the total number of deaths and 55.8% of the total number of injuries by road crashes.
Although in the year 2020 road crash rates were reduced for most road users, cyclists' deaths was the exception. In the period 2017-2020, according to the ONSV, there has been a steady increase in fatalities of bicycle users due to road crashes.
The proposed project seeks to carry out participative urban interventions that actively involve the community while at the same time having a positive impact on the reduction of road crashes and promote safe mobility for vulnerable road users.
