With the 'Safe Traffic Municipality' trajectory, the Province of Antwerp aims to reduce the number of traffic casualties to zero as quickly as possible. This ambitious goal will be achieved in collaboration with local authorities and police zones by prioritising traffic safety and encouraging a traffic safety reflex in every mobility project. Almost all local authorities are participating in the 'Safe Traffic Municipality' trajectory. The partners in this guidance trajectory are: • The Federal Services of the Governor (FDG); • The Flemish Foundation for Traffic Knowledge (VSV); • Parents of Accidentally Killed Children - Save vzw (OVK). With this public order, the Province of Antwerp aims to support its local authorities in defining and implementing their local traffic safety policy, thereby striving to achieve the Flemish goal of 0 traffic fatalities by 2050. Traffic safety policy requires an integrated and multidisciplinary approach. To cover the potential needs of the local authorities and the provinces, this public order is divided into 4 lots: • Advice • Studies • Design • Participation. These 4 lots cover the five pillars of traffic safety (Engineering, Education, Enforcement, Encouragement and Evaluation). Local authorities and provinces need the following for the implementation of local traffic safety policy: • a combination of various expertises (mobility, behaviour influence, infrastructure, enforcement, communication and evaluation); • coordination and the use of different methodologies to address the diverse needs of local authorities and police zones; • tailored support forms that can only be refined through consultation and iteration; • management of content-related and organisational risks arising from collaboration with multiple actors and policy levels.
