A New Year's Resolution: Driving More Safely

Last week, I sat among many of the foremost experts in transportation safety and security at the World Bank in Washington D.C.  The most startling fact? The leading cause of death among children age 10 to 19 are road crashes, killing 260,000 children a year (World Health Organization).  For those of us at FedEx, that is almost the size of our entire global workforce. Although many of us may see other issues as more pressing, the facts are clear: Road and pedestrian safety must be addressed.
