This results in a much higher than average rate of injuries and fatalities due to roadway incidents. GRT soil stabilization and dust control solutions have been helping to reduce traffic injuries and fatalities due to poor infrastructure in these regions for years. Now, we are expanding our efforts beyond the direct areas in which we work.[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;1&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; style=&#8221;dark&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_visibility=&#8221;yes&#8221; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_visibility=&#8221;yes&#8221; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;5\/12&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;1&#8243;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_fixed=&#8221;yes&#8221; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_row_inner row_inner_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;4&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243;][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky=&#8221;yes&#8221; width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;2&#8243; medium_visibility=&#8221;yes&#8221; mobile_visibility=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text text_lead=&#8221;yes&#8221;]The not-for-profit GRT Road Safety Initiative, that was launched late last year in India by the World Bank and the United Nations \u201cDecade of Action for Road Safety 2011- 2020,\u201d, and is a specialized program designed to combat the high road-related injury and death rates in remote and regional areas \u2013 the communities in which GRT also operates to deliver better and safer infrastructure.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_lead=&#8221;yes&#8221;]Funded by GRT and with contributions from others, resources for this initiative are spent in the areas or regions that need it most.
