The document introduces a global youth NGO for road safety that is being created by a taskforce. At a 2007 youth assembly, over 200 youth delegates from over 100 countries expressed a desire to form such an organization. The taskforce was created in March 2009 to launch the NGO by January 2010. It will advocate for youth road safety issues globally, connect youth organizations working in road safety, and build youth capacity in the field. The taskforce has identified road crashes as a leading cause of death among youth and the challenges youth face in road safety.
