Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will take steps to support West Yorkshire's strategy to eliminate traffic deaths and serious injuries by 2040.

The Department for Transport takes road safety for all road users seriously and is supportive of local initiatives to improve road safety. The Department has not made a specific assessment of the council’s road safety policies because the local council has responsibility for making decisions about local roads, based on its local knowledge and taking into account local needs.
