On November 22, 2024, the Traffic Engineering and Management-Road Safety Research Laboratory (TEM-RSRL), under the UP National Center for Transportation Studies (UP NCTS), hosted a webinar titled “Safe Roads, Bright Futures: How Child Road Traffic Injury Prevention (CRTIP), iRAP, and Tactical Urbanism are Protecting Children.”

The webinar highlighted the integration of diverse road safety strategies, including iRAP’s Star Rating for Schools (SR4S), outcomes of the Child Road Traffic Injury Prevention (CRTIP) project, and community-driven approaches through tactical urbanism. These efforts aim to reduce child road traffic injuries in the Philippines, aligning with the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety (2021–2030) and the Philippines’ commitment to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, particularly Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 3 and 11.

Star Rating for Schools Coordinator, Minh Vo spoke at the online session, discussing the use of SR4S in identifying high-risk school zones and implementing data-driven interventions. She shared case studies demonstrating how the tool has enhanced safety in schools across the Philippines, setting a global standard for improving road safety for children.

A total of 661 participants attended the webinar, representing various sectors, including government agencies, local government units, private entities, and academia.
