India : State Road Safety Incentive Program
The State Road Safety Incentive Program (SRSIP) will assist the Government of India in introducing and implementing the State Support Programme for Strengthening Road Safety (SSP), focusing on seven selected states in India. SRSIP is the first program dedicated to road safety by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and will support a performance-based grant scheme where the central government disburse grant financing when the participating states achieve target indicators. The target indicators include reduction in road crash fatalities as well as engineering and non-engineering interventions that are proven to be effective in reducing road crashes

| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | SRSIP is proposed to assist MORTH in introducing and implementing SSP, which is aligned with the government's road safety agenda "Towards Vision Zero 2030". SRSIP is included in ADB's country operation business plan for India, 2021-2023, and is consistent with pillar 3 (inclusive provision of infrastructure networks and services) of ADB's country partnership strategy for India, 2021-2023. SRSIP is also in line with ADB Strategy 2030 operational priorities, namely (i) addressing remaining poverty and reducing inequalities (OP1); (ii) accelerating progress in gender equality (OP2); (iii) making cities more livable (OP4); (iv) promoting rural development and food security (OP5); and (v) strengthening governance and institutional capacity (OP6). | ||||

| Summary of Environmental and Social Aspects | |
|---|---|
| Environmental Aspects | The program's environmental and social impact will be assessed, and a safeguard systems assessment report will be prepared as necessary, including the Safeguard Policy Statement (2009) policy principles that will be likely applied to the SRSIP. |
| Involuntary Resettlement | The program is not expected to entail land acquisition due to civil works. Involuntary resettlement impacts and issues will be confirmed during program due diligence and further processing. |
| Indigenous Peoples | The program is not expected to entail impacts on indigenous peoples. The program awareness campaign and information dissemination will be ensured to be accessible to all in terms of language used and distribution of road safety materials. |
| Stakeholder Communication, Participation, and Consultation | |
| During Project Design | The general population of the states participating in the program will be the primary beneficiary followed by the commuters and road users, line and state agencies, transport-related institutions, and businesses. Widespread consultations and focus group discussions shall be conducted for the program in all participating states to obtain the views of the community, in particular, women and the vulnerable, about the program and its potential benefits. |
