Tyre Safety Month
Organised by TyreSafe
Every October, TyreSafe’s Tyre Safety Month (TSM) promotes the importance of tyre maintenance for road safety. TSM highlights the dangers of driving on poorly maintained or illegal tyres, working towards a future where no one is harmed by tyre-related incidents on UK roads. The annual campaign, now in its 19th year, educates road users on how to check their tyres, emphasising correct inflation, damage inspection, and legal tread depth. A key element of TSM’s aims is driving behaviour change, encouraging regular tyre checks and maintenance. By collaborating with partner organisations, TSM aims to reduce preventable incidents and improve road safety for everyone.

Transport & Health 2025
Hosted by Bristol City Council • City Hall, Bristol
Transport policies have wide impacts on health and health inequalities – they can promote, or damage, our health. The way we move, and our access to mobility choices, affect our health both as individuals and communities. Given the Government’s priorities across its Net Zero, Integrated Transport and Active Travel policy areas, maximising the co-benefits inherent in low-carbon transport interventions, active travel investment and better planning outcomes, there has rarely been a more positive time to prioritise health in transport and planning policy.

The Road Safety Hour: Artificial Intelligence
Organised by SCORSA • online
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly important role in road safety – especially for those who drive for work. Here at ScORSA, we’re exploring how AI-powered technologies can help organisations reduce risk, support safer driving behaviour, and protect those who drive as part of their job.
One key development is Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA) — a system that uses AI to help drivers stay within speed limits by combining GPS data, speed limit maps, and onboard sensors. ISA can alert drivers or even automatically control vehicle speed, offering a proactive way to prevent speed-related incidents.
