Arrive Alive is a non-governmental, apolitical organisation funded by public and private donations. It is dedicated to saving lives and preserving lifestyles. Founded on December 31st, 2004, its primary objective is to bring the high levels of road carnage and overall lack of road safety to the national forefront.
Arrive Alive observes that its collective effort has resulted in a gradual decline in the number of serious road traffic collisions, injuries, and fatalities over the years, and its road safety messages are everywhere. Nevertheless, the organisation says the road injury and fatality rates in Trinidad & Tobago continue to be unacceptably high.
