Bloomberg Philanthropies on Tuesday announced a doubling of its support for global road safety, committing another $240 million from 2020-2025 to save 600,000 more lives and prevent up to 22 million injuries in low and middle-income countries around the world.

The six-year reinvestment, will see three cities from India as part of the 30 cities that will receive support under the Bloomberg Philanthropies Initiative for Global Road Safety (BIGRS) to effectively implement best-practice road safety activities, including running hard-hitting media campaigns to raise road user understanding of risk factors, training police in best practice enforcement, and redesigning high-crash, high-fatality corridors and intersections.
