“Creating a Traffic Culture for a Safer Society”

The Global Interactive Forum on Traffic and Safety (GIFTS) was launched 10 years ago on the 40th anniversary of the International Association of Traffic and Safety Sciences (IATSS), as a platform to strengthen discussions on the ideal traffic society and further disseminate these discussions internationally. This symposium will celebrate the milestone of the 10th session of GIFTS.

The theme of the first GIFTS was “Diverse, Regionally-Rooted Transport Cultures.” It is necessary to consider the culture rooted in each country and region to ensure a safe and secure transportation society. Considering this, we have strengthened our discussions at the previous nine GIFTS sessions by focusing on the keyword “transportation culture.” In doing so, we have refined our definition of traffic culture, explored road user behavior and the activities of people and organizations involved in road safety, and strengthened our discussions for joint efforts by countries worldwide, to reduce traffic accidents. This 10th GIFTS is positioned as the culmination of these discussions and a commencement of further discussions on the actions required to enhance wellbeing through mobility in the future.

This year's GIFTS will feature two discussions. The first half of the panel discussion will discuss the type of research, road safety measures, and policies required in regions worldwide for a safe and secure mobility society, based on country fact survey data. The second half of the workshop will discuss issues and solutions for social implementation in the international community; this will link the discussions based on scientific findings, conducted in the first half of the workshop, to concrete policy development in countries worldwide. Moreover, through these discussions, we would like to gather insights for IATSS's future prospects.

As aforementioned, the GIFTS discussions will be the culmination of the past 10 years and the commencement of discussions for the next 10 years. It is expected that the GIFTS platform will evolve to consider the actions required to be taken in the field of mobility in building a sustainable society, and that it will become a forum for international communication targeting the next decade.
