This report monitors the progress in 2013 of the targets and key performance indicators (KPIs) set out in the Northern Ireland’s Road Safety Strategy (NIRSS). The targets and indicators are measured against a baseline of the 2004-2008 average figures.

Key points:
• In 2013 there were 57 fatalities in road traffic collisions. This represents a reduction of 55 per cent on the baseline figure (126). The 2020 target is to have 50, or fewer, fatalities on our roads.
• In 2013 there were 720 serious injuries in road traffic collisions. This represents a reduction of 35 per cent on the baseline figure (1,111). The 2020 target is to have 611, or fewer, serious injuries on our roads each year.
• In 2013 there were 73 children killed or seriously injured (KSIs) in road traffic collisions. This represents a reduction of 43 per cent on the baseline figure (128). The 2020 target is to reduce the number of children KSIs on our roads to 58, or less.
• In 2013 there were 176 young people killed or seriously injured (KSIs) in road traffic collisions. This represents a reduction of 52 per cent on the baseline figure (366). The 2020 target is to reduce the number of young people KSIs on our roads to 165, or less.
