Marat Khusnullin chaired a meeting of the Government Commission on Road Safety.
Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin chaired a meeting of the Government Commission on Road Safety, where they summarized the results of their work for the first 10 months of 2025. The meeting also reviewed the implementation of the new Road Safety Improvement Strategy to 2030 and through 2036, approved by the President of Russia.
"Extensive, systemic work to ensure road safety is aimed at preserving the lives and health of our people. The President has set the goal of reducing the number of road fatalities by 1.5 times by 2030 and by 2036. The approved strategy sets new benchmarks for us. To implement it, we must develop an action plan that will include both proven tools and new systemic solutions. Despite the growing car ownership, traffic volume, and increased mobility, the country has maintained positive trends across key indicators in the first 10 months of 2025. The total number of road fatalities decreased by 3.6% compared to the same period last year. Road safety is a key focus of the "Infrastructure for Life" national project, so we must maintain the pace of work in this area," noted Marat Khusnullin.
Furthermore, fatalities in accidents involving oncoming traffic (-7.4%), pedestrian collisions (-6.7%), and drunk driving (-18.5%) decreased. The number of child fatalities in accidents decreased by 4.6%.
During the meeting, representatives from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Industry and Trade presented their proposals for implementing the strategy. These included improving road infrastructure, digitalization, increasing the efficiency of emergency services, developing a child injury prevention system, tightening vehicle safety requirements, and implementing modern driver assistance systems. A separate initiative was considered to expand the use of mobile devices for recording traffic violations on hazardous road sections, in response to regional requests.
