BASIC INFORMATION

The fifth year of the competition "MY VISION ZERO: STUDENTS FOR SAFE ROADS" is intended for students of Czech universities, higher vocational and secondary schools. The competition aims to activate young people to improve the state of the road accident situation in the Czech Republic in accordance with the philosophy of the Swedish Vision Zero.

Students or groups of students submit projects focusing on different areas with the aim of solving traffic problems. The projects can address vehicle and road problems as well as road user behaviour and education.

A number of experts who have long been involved in the subject of road safety are available for guidance and consultation. All you have to do is contact them. For a basic overview, there are also basic documents on the project website that address the issue of road safety. You can also take inspiration from abroad. Links to resources and campaigns can also be found on the project website.

The project is funded by the claims prevention fund of the Czech Insurers' Bureau.
