The document discusses road safety initiatives in Kerala, India. It provides statistics on the growth of vehicles and road accidents from 2005-2016. It outlines the formation of the Kerala Road Safety Authority in 2007 to coordinate road safety activities across departments. Funds are allocated annually to the Authority from road safety cess, compounding fees, and government grants. These funds are then distributed to stakeholders like police, transport department, public works department, health department for various road safety programs and infrastructure projects. The document also identifies some administrative and technical issues for strengthening the Authority further. New initiatives like GPS tracking of public transport vehicles and panic buttons are being implemented for enhanced monitoring and emergency response.
