Road Safety: CFAO Mobility Kenya, NTSA Launch School Programme
The initiative will equip Scouts leaders, teachers and school stakeholders with practical skills to promote safer road use and protect learners.
CFAO Mobility Kenya has partnered with the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) and other road safety stakeholders to strengthen road safety education in schools.
The programme brings together the Kenya Police Service Traffic Department, Kenya Scouts Association (KSA) and First Step Road Safety Initiatives.
It will give Scouts leaders, teachers and school communities practical road safety knowledge and learning materials. The programme will also support the annual Scouts Road Safety Badge competitions.
Building Safer Habits Among Learners
The initiative aims to help young people develop responsible road-use habits early.
Scouts leaders will receive structured training and resources. They will then support road safety activities within their schools and communities.
In addition, the programme will train teachers, Scout patrons, school transport personnel and other stakeholders.
These groups can help reinforce road safety messages both inside and outside the classroom.
Arvinder Reel, Managing Director, CFAO Mobility Kenya, said education can help create lasting behavioural change.
“Road safety is a shared responsibility, and education is one of the most effective ways of creating lasting behavioural change,” he said.
He added that engaging young people early can help build a generation of responsible road users.
Nairobi Schools to Lead the Programme
The first phase will target schools in Nairobi before expanding to other parts of Kenya.
Participating schools include Upper Hill School, Bidii Primary School, Utawala Academy, Highway Secondary School and Ruaraka Academy, among others.
Meanwhile, NTSA, the Kenya Police Service Traffic Department, KSA and other partners will provide technical expertise and practical guidance.
Their involvement will combine road safety education, enforcement experience and practical support for schools.
Tackling Kenya’s Road Safety Challenge
The programme comes as Kenya continues to face significant road safety challenges.
According to the figures provided by NTSA, more than 4,000 people lose their lives in road crashes each year.
The authority recorded 4,458 road crashes in 2025, compared with 4,311 in 2024. That represented a 3.4 per cent increase.
George A. Ayienda, Chief Executive Officer, First Step Road Safety Initiatives, said reducing road crashes requires collective action.
“Promoting road safety is essential to building a culture of responsible road use,” he said.
He noted that stakeholders across different sectors must work together to strengthen awareness and encourage responsible behaviour.
For CFAO Mobility Kenya and its partners, the school programme places prevention and education at the heart of road safety.
By reaching learners, teachers and school communities, the initiative seeks to build safer habits that can extend from schools to families and communities across Kenya.
