Road safety champions urge modal shifts to active travel that enhance population health and support the Sustainable Development Goals. Such calls also compel urgent attention to inequities in access to safe mobility options for those differently challenged by transport environments. Drawing on perspectives of older residents, disabled people, and policy makers in Sri Lanka and Aotearoa/New Zealand, this webinar discusses the implications for age- and disability-inclusive transport plans that leave no one behind.
