Pioneering new youth-led road safety model to be piloted in Samoa by ADB Youth for Asia
At a recent Knowledge Sharing Event entitled Improving Road Safety in Mongolia and Samoa, Youth Project Designer Swithun Rumble revealed a pioneering new MYE Road Safety Model to be piloted in Samoa.
The model challenges the perception of young people’s role in road crashes due to their risky behaviour and reliance on vulnerable modes of transport such as walking and cycling. Instead, it recommends leveraging young people’s inherent qualities, such as resilience, tech-savvy and peer influence, to make them a part of the solution.

One plan for each country was developed, via national workshops with the assistance of 90-100 road safety professionals from key agencies. These reports were also created with the assistance of private sector and nongovernment organizations. The plans focus on improvement of safety for vulnerable road users (especially pedestrians and motorcyclists) who form the vast bulk of deaths and injuries in ASEAN region.
