In 2023 alone, 45 people lost their lives on Greater Manchester roads, with 754 sustaining serious injuries.

In its continued efforts to improve road safety across the region, the Greater Manchester Combined Authority has endorsed the Vision Zero Strategy, aiming to eliminate road deaths and life-changing injuries by 2040, with an interim goal of a 50% reduction by 2030.
