A recent Road Safety Week initiative in Southern Thailand successfully spotlighted the importance of helmet use while linking traffic safety to environmental sustainability.

Held in July as part of the ongoing Chevron Street Wise program, the event targeted high school students across the Songkhla province, drawing over 600 tenth-grade participants. Now in its eighth phase, the initiative is implemented by the AIP Foundation with support from Chevron Thailand.

The Road Safety Week integrated road safety with carbon footprint education with the objectives of:

  • Reducing road crashes among youth in Grades 7-12, with a special focus on helmet use
  • Building climate awareness by training Grade 10 students to measure CO2 from their school commute through the Carbon Footprint Training led by PERIN
  • Mobilizing government, private sector, and civil society to support Thailand’s national agenda of “100% Helmet Useâ€
