This report which projects road casualties until 2030 is authored by Kit Mitchell and Richard Allsop and published by PACTS.
The report concludes that for all groups for which “reliable projections are possible”, the number of casualties is projected to fall by 2030. Road deaths are projected to fall from 1,754 in 2012 to about 1,000 in 2030, and serious casualties to fall from 23,039 to about 11,000. The report suggests that by 2030 there are likely to be about 150,000 slight casualties and around 162,000 casualties of all severities.
The report suggests that at 2012 prices, “prevention of these projected numbers of casualties in 2030 would be valued at about £6bn”. It also puts the value of preventing all road casualties (about 3.5m) in the two decades ending 2030 at about £160bn.
