The Aim The Ambition The Mission   The Ambition The Mission To improve the awareness of work-related road safety, employers’ duty of care and employees’ responsibilities. To bring about a radical change in how organisations think about work-related road safety. To improve the levels of compliance for all those who drive or rode for work and to demonstrate the dramatic business benefits of managing work-related road safety more effectively.

“The Highways England Driving for Better Business Programme supports the British Road Safety Statement in raising awareness of the importance of work-related road safety. Road safety is not just a matter for government and the public sector. It is an issue that requires support from the private sector, and that means businesses making sure they are compliant with current legislation.” Jessie Norman, MP.

DfBB is the enabler for this
