Leeds Sixth Form College pledges to make roads safer in West Yorkshire

Leeds Sixth Form College is pledging to promote safe driving and improve road safety across Leeds and West Yorkshire.

The Vision Zero Pledge which was launched alongside the Leeds and West Yorkshire Vision Zero Strategy asks members of the public and organisations to sign and make a commitment to road safety.

Leeds Sixth Form College is joining the West Yorkshire Combined Authority alongside local councils, emergency services and organisations including Leeds Teaching Hospitals in making this pledge.

On average, one person a week dies on the roads of West Yorkshire and thousands of people are injured every year.

The Vision Zero 2040 ambition is to have zero deaths or serious injuries on Leeds roads by 2040. 

You can support this regardless of how you travel whether it’s driving at safe speeds, removing distractions such as phones and devices, wearing your seatbelt, maintaining your vehicle or giving other road users enough space.
