For the last few years we observe optimistic tendencies in traffic risk development in Poland - the number of fatalities decreases about 10% per year, bringing Poland closer to European Union standards. Nevertheless in 2001 we observed the unexpected, and bigger than forecasted, fatality reduction. The reason was the economic downturn suffered across the country, resulting in reduced demand for transportation. The danger lies in how that reduction is interpreted. Our concern is that the government will see this as a pretext to cut GAMBIT spending, unless we are able to provide a reasonable explanation that the casualty reduction was brought about by the reduced mileage.
