\u201cOur goal is to provide a safe environment for our children and prevent them from road traffic crashes as much as possible. The municipality will continue to cooperate with the Partnership for Road Safety Foundation, which is our active partner and offers us news and new trends in the area of road safety.\u201d – <\/span><\/i>Mamuka Tsotseria<\/b>, <\/span>Mayor of Zugdidi City<\/b><\/p>\n\u201cThe [SR4S App] details all the criteria and infrastructural interventions that make schools safe. Based on them, it is possible to assess the current situation, as well as to plan the measures that lead to an increase in the school\u2019s star rating and an improvement in the quality of safety. I got a valuable, interesting experience.\u201d <\/span><\/i>\u2013 Ketevan Kandelaki, Tbilisi City Assembly<\/b><\/p>\n\u201cIt is the first time modern infrastructure standards have been applied in Georgia. These pilot interventions have improved road safety near the schools targeted by the project. They have created an incentive for the municipalities to continue working on reducing speed limits near school zones to 30 km\/h and implement further infrastructure changes, which have also been positively evaluated by the local community.\u201d – <\/span><\/i>Gela Kvashilava, Founder and President, Partnership for Road Safety<\/b><\/p>\n\u201cWe have thousands of students and up to 100 employees. And all of them cross this zebra crossing several times a day. Before the zebra crossing was installed, unfortunately, there were several tragic crashes with fatalities. Our staff were always worried, and there were requests to upgrade the crossing that would guarantee safety.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\nI, myself, have heard many parents say that they are already hopeful of letting their children travel to school alone, that there is no need to take them to and from school.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\nThis school is much safer than it was before because of this zebra crossing.<\/span><\/i> It became much safer when appropriate signs were installed, and waiting areas were arranged in a safe place where children can comfortably wait for the bus, even in snow and rain.<\/span><\/i> Along with safety improvements, sidewalks have become more beautiful, accessible and usable.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\nI say, once again, this is a guarantee of safety. This is very important for us, because every teacher of the school takes responsibility for every child to come to school safely and return home safely.\u201d<\/span><\/i>\u00a0 <\/span>–<\/b> Giuli Shengelia, Director, School No. 117<\/b><\/p>\n\u201cThe Georgian Automobile Sport Federation has been involved in this road safety project since its inception, and the Federation fully supports 30 km\/h zones near schools and reducing speed limits. The lives of our children should be protected in these areas. I hope that other municipalities will also be involved in this campaign and many safe school zones will be created in the country\u201d –<\/span><\/i> Sandro Lomadze<\/b>, <\/span>President of Georgian Automobile Sport Federation<\/b><\/p>\n\u201cThis work to make Georgian journeys to school safe and healthy represents a significant collaboration between our partners EASST and iRAP, as well as the FIA and Georgian Automobile Sport Federation. Funded through our Child Health Initiative Advocacy Hub, these changes demonstrate the impact and scalability of child and youth focused road safety programmes using the Star Rating for Schools system.\u201d – <\/span><\/i>Aggie Krasnolucka, Programmes Director of the FIA Foundation<\/b><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The FIA Road Safety Grants Programme and the FIA Foundation have together supported the Eastern Alliance for Safe and Sustainable Transport (EASST), Partnership for Road Safety (PfRS), and the Georgian Automobile Sport Federation (GASF) to upgrade four school zones in Georgia to a \u20185 Star\u2019 standard using the Star Rating for Schools (SR4S) App. The […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":4231,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4227","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/starratingforschools.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4227","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/starratingforschools.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/starratingforschools.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starratingforschools.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starratingforschools.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4227"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/starratingforschools.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4227\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4304,"href":"https:\/\/starratingforschools.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4227\/revisions\/4304"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starratingforschools.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4231"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/starratingforschools.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4227"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starratingforschools.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4227"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starratingforschools.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4227"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
