Who we are
Everyone has the right to mobility under safe road conditions.
The Aleatica Foundation for Road Safety, A.C. is a non-profit organization, established in 2022, that works to prevent serious injuries and deaths from road accidents through public advocacy, social awareness, and the development of evidence-based knowledge. Its activities are mainly carried out in Mexico, with a regional and international perspective.
The Foundation’s work is based on the Safe System approach, which recognizes that human error is inevitable and that the prevention of serious injuries and deaths depends on the design of safer mobility systems, the adoption of appropriate technical standards, and the priority protection of the most vulnerable road customers.
Mission
To support strategic actions that make the right to mobility under safe road conditions a reality for all people, by promoting a public agenda with multisectoral participation that encourages safe infrastructure, safe speeds, and safe use of traffic routes.
Vision
To be the leading foundation and catalyst for cultural change in road safety, contributing—from a multisectoral and multifactorial perspective—to the achievement of Road Safety Decade 2021-2030 goals.
Values
Safety: a right and necessity
Excellence: quality at its highest
Responsibility: Social, sustainable and environmental
Respect for life: This is the cornerstone of all our actions, ensuring that every measure, initiative, and policy we adopt protects and preserves the physical integrity of people on the roads.
Law-abiding culture: Rules are not mere formalities, but essential tools for safeguarding collective well-being.
Transparency: building trust with beneficiaries, partners, and stakeholders.
Strategic Pillars:
Public impact
This is a central pillar of Aleatica Foundation’s work and aims to contribute to strengthening policies, laws, and regulations that reduce road accidents, based on a Safe System approach and prioritizing the protection of the most vulnerable customers.
Raising awareness
Achieved through training, education, skill-building, and recognition programs for social initiatives that contribute to building a culture of safe mobility.
Building knowledge
Seeks to bridge the gap between information, perception, and action, transforming data and research into accessible and useful inputs for authorities, specialists, civil society organizations, the private sector, and citizens. Knowledge generation is conceived as a key enabler by providing evidence that guides more effective, targeted interventions with greater impact on the protection of life.
Strategic components
The institutional strategy of Aleatica Foundation is structured around three strategic components:
Safe Road Infrastructure
This component seeks to ensure that roads, streets, and mobility spaces are designed and managed to minimize the risks inherent in traffic and reduce the likelihood and severity of accidents. This involves, among other things, implementing error-tolerant designs—such as well-marked intersections, physical separators, elevated crosswalks, and protected bike lanes—and incorporating internationally validated technical criteria to protect the most vulnerable customers, such as pedestrians and motorcyclists.
Safe speeds
Safe speed management is a fundamental component, as the probability of death or serious injury increases dramatically with impact speed. This requires establishing speed limits that correspond to the road design and the potential for conflict between users, as well as effective control and enforcement mechanisms.
Safe use of traffic routes
This component recognizes that users must be able to interact with the mobility system safely. This involves encouraging responsible behavior (such as the use of safety devices and rules compliance), designing campaigns that promote safe driving practices, and ensuring that traffic rules and their enforcement are geared toward protecting the lives of everyone. The system should reduce the likelihood that common human errors (e.g., distractions or speeding) will result in fatal consequences.
Governing Bodies
The Aleatica Foundation for Road Safety has a solid governance structure comprising three key bodies: the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee, and the Advisory Committee. The latter is made up of national and international experts in road safety. Together, these bodies ensure the transparency, accountability, and effectiveness of the actions undertaken by the Foundation.
