Rethinking road safety: mobility for people and planet

It will be a hybrid event, enabling wider participation of NGOs and other stakeholders.
The Global Meeting will feature capacity building opportunities, inspiration from well-known safe mobility and sustainability experts, a high-level symposium with key influencers from government, multilateral organizations, private sector, and academia, as well as extensive networking opportunities. We will explore the interconnections between road safety, safe mobility, and other key global challenges addressed by the SDGs and focus in on accountability for the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021–2030.

There is an arrangement between the Alliance and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in El Salvador to facilitate a special permit in place of the normal visa process for participants. The special permit is for those from countries where a visa is required to enter El Salvador and where the visa process is complex or there is no consulate or embassy. Apply for the special permit HERE by 3 February 2023. If you prefer not to use the special permit scheme arranged by the Alliance, you can choose to apply for your visa through the normal visa process for your country. The special permit is not needed for participants from countries who can enter El Salvador without a visa or who can purchase one on arrival.
Please check with the authorities in your country or the airline that you are flying with regarding transit visa requirements. You can also check your government’s arrangement with El Salvador or the country you are transiting through. The Alliance is not able to help with transit visas.

Most conferences charge for attendance. The Global Meeting is a significant cost to put on, both in person and online and although the fee will in no way meet the cost of putting on the event, it does strengthen commitment to attend. Unlike most member organizations, we do not have membership fees, which some organizations might use toward these gatherings.
People not vaccinated against COVID-19 must present a negative COVID-19 test result given 72 hours before arrival in El Salvador (PCR, NAAT, or LAMP). People vaccinated against COVID-19 must present their vaccination certificate with all doses supplied, depending on the type of vaccine.
The Global Meeting will take place at Crowne Plaza, 89 Ave. Norte y 11 Calle Poniente, San Salvador.
