Road safety officials are intensifying efforts to reduce Jamaica’s annual road death toll to fewer than 300, with a renewed focus on curbing motorcycle fatalities and protecting vulnerable road users.

The commitment was reaffirmed on Tuesday during the National Road Safety Council’s (NRSC) mid-year review of the National Road Safety Strategy at the Office of the Commissioner of Police on Hope Road.

The meeting brought together representatives of the NRSC, the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) and the JN Foundation to assess the country’s progress and identify areas requiring greater intervention.
