Why MoVACon2024?

The New Motor Vehicles Act did for all of us - NGOs, Road Builders, Road Safety proponents, Intelligent Traffic System Experts, Law Enforcement Agencies, Trauma Care Experts and every person who has lost someone close in an RTA what we have not been able to do in the last 30 years individually.

In the year 2020, MoRTH participated in the Third High Level Global Conference on Road Safety for Achieving Global Goals 2030 where it was conceptualised to have zero road fatalities in India by 2030.

The World Economic Forum has, in collaboration with the Central Govt. of India, NITI Aayog and Union Road Transport Ministry launched a Road Safety 2.0 program in India. The project aims to introduce technology into all 4E’s of road safety – Education, Engineering, Enforcement and Emergency Care.
