Road Safety Monitor
An X-ray of the situation in Mexico towards 2030
The results of the Road Safety Monitor highlight the need for a comprehensive and multi-sectoral approach, where collaboration between government, civil society, private initiative and academia is key to developing effective strategies that contribute to making the right to safe mobility a reality for all people.
At Fundación Aleatica we are motivated to build a safer Mexico.
We all deserve to arrive safe and sound to our destinations.

Statistical analysis as a basis for public policy and prevention
Worldwide, 1.19 million people lose their lives in road crashes. Therefore, the United Nations General Assembly declared a second Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021-2030 with the goal of reducing fatalities and serious injuries by at least 50% by 2030.
To meet the goals of the Second Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021-2030, Mexico should have recorded 12,074 fatalities in 2022, however, the actual figure was 15,674, representing a 30% excess.
According to data from the Road Safety Monitor, in 2021 the downward trend in mortality, morbidity and traffic fatalities was reversed. This is due to the fact that injuries and deaths increased considerably, particularly among motorcycle users, where the upward trend has been sustained for at least the last 20 years.
Road accidents in Mexico
60% of all traffic accidents are concentrated in just seven states: Nuevo Leon, Sonora, Chihuahua, Estado de Mexico, Michoacan, Guanajuato, and Tamaulipas, highlighting the need to focus road safety interventions in these areas.
The analysis of the causes of accidents points to driver behavior as the main factor, followed by adverse infrastructure conditions and vehicle mechanical factors.
