Our Mission

FPRA is dedicated to achieving its three-fold noble missions for road safety. Our first mission is to change the behavioral characteristics of road users, with a particular focus on drivers, to promote safe movement on roads. To achieve this, we are committed to developing innovative and effective education and awareness programs that encourage road users to adopt safe behaviors on the roads.

Our second mission is to develop a strong management information system on traffic hazards and road safety measures in India. By acting as a watchdog, we aim to ensure that government measures on road safety are effectively implemented and that any gaps in implementation are addressed in a timely and effective manner.

Finally, our third mission is to promote road safety literacy among all vulnerable groups of road users. We recognize that promoting road safety requires ongoing and intensive awareness and education programs that target specific groups of road users, such as children, pedestrians, and cyclists. Through these programs, we aim to empower road users with the knowledge and skills they need to make safer decisions on the roads.

Overall, we believe that by focusing on these three missions, we can create a safer and more sustainable road environment for all road users in India.
