Impact of new RTSA stickers in Public Service Vehicles (PSVs) on road traffic crashes involving buses: an impact evaluation |
Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
Given the alarmingly high rate of road traffic accidents involving minibuses and big buses within Zambia, there is a need to mitigate this through multiple measures. One of the most promising interventions is a sticker campaign that was proven effective in Kenya; based on this study, RTSA has developed new stickers that potentially have a two-pronged effect by reminding both passengers and drivers of the dangers of reckless driving of buses. Thus the stickers either encourage passengers to speak up to their bus drivers alerting them to reduce speed or drive carefully, or having the driver drive more responsibly. This study will provide evidence on the impact of the new RTSA sticker program on road traffic crashes as implemented through minibuses and big buses, that can help inform the scale up of a national ¿Zambia sticker campaign¿. |
