Road Casualty Reduction Figures 2024

The RSF2030 identifies the part every one of us has to play in ensuring our long-term aspiration for Vision Zero becomes a reality. Scotland’s RSF2030 includes four national casualty reduction targets due for delivery in 2030 (Graphs 1-4). These compare performance against the 2014-2018 baseline period. Graphs 5-9 includes statistics on the RSF2030 mode and user-specific targets for key priority groups such as pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists and over represented age groups.

The following statistics are from the Key Reported Road Casualty Scotland 2025 publication. Please note, these statistics are provisional. Final figures will be published in Reported Road Casualties Scotland in October 2026. Figures may change as a result of late returns and amendments to the data. These changes are likely to be limited.
