Israel's National Road Safety Authority concluded its largest ever training course for 26 local authority leaders, enhancing road safety management and accident.

Yesterday (15.2.2026), the Safety Headquarters Managers course for local authorities successfully concluded. The course was initiated by the National road safety Authority and held at the Einat Hostel in Haifa, managed by the concessionaire John Bryce.

This is the largest course the National road safety Authority has conducted to date, with 26 participants from 26 local authorities (cities, local councils, and regional councils), including nine representatives from the Arab community. The course opened on November 5, 2025, lasted for 16 daily sessions, and provided participants with comprehensive professional training.

During the course, participants acquired in-depth knowledge in road safety areas, including traffic engineering, enforcement and law, education and community outreach, alongside essential management content such as setting goals, engagement and influence, recruiting partners, and message delivery. Additionally, the course included a workshop for analyzing road accidents and an applied field tour.

As part of the completion requirements, each participant submitted a final project that dealt with the central issue of road accident casualties in their local authority. Within this project, an applied work plan was developed to promote road safety for the year 2026.

The National Road Safety Authority noted that given the concerning data in the field of road accidents, cooperation with local authorities and safety headquarters managers is critical:
Joint efforts, professional knowledge, and commitment on the ground are the foundation for reducing casualties and saving lives – and we will continue to work together to lead real and safe change on the roads.
