Current Work
A key priority for PACTS in the current Parliament is for the United Kingdom to adopt a more strategic approach to casualty reduction. International evidence shows clearly that a target for casualty reduction supported by a strategic aim such as Vision Zero is the most effective approach to improving safety. In its report “Beyond 2010” published in 2007, PACTS argued for the UK to adopt such an approach, possibly based on the approach taken towards managing risk to a level as low as reasonably practical.
PACTS also publishes regular research reports, the most recent being on safe mobility for an ageing population (March 2012). These contain recommendations to government and to transport providers to ensure that safety for all transport users is improved.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or work:
“The current of our thoughts made as sudden bends as the river, which was continually opening new prospects to the east or south, but we are aware that rivers flow most rapidly and shallowest at these points.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A perfect personality ... is only possible in a state of society where man is free to choose the mode of work, the conditions of work, and the freedom to work. One to whom the making of a table, the building of a house, or the tilling of the soil, is what the painting is to the artist and the discovery to the scientist,—the result of inspiration, of intense longing, and deep interest in work as a creative force.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
