The European Commission has published its report to track progress towards the EU's goal of halving road deaths and serious injuries by 2030. While progress has been made in reducing road fatalities, the report reveals that the current pace is insufficient.
A total of 19,940 people were killed on Europe's roads in accidents in 2024, says the report published on Monday. This represents a 12 percent decrease since 2019 but falls significantly short of the annual 4.6 percent reduction needed to meet the 2030 targets, as set in the EU Road Safety Policy Framework 2021-2030.
