In search of their identity and autonomy, adolescents are often prone to disagreeing with adults and adopted rules of conduct under the pretext that their freedom is restricted. This life stage is characterized by consolidation of mental life, crystallization of attitudes and opinions and particularly by rational mental maturation. The described profile is one of the key reasons for risky behavior in traffic. The consequences are reflected in the statistics of traffic accidents in the Republic of Croatia. Young people from 15 to 24 years of age are one of the most vulnerable group in traffic. In the total number of road fatalities over the decade, adolescents have been involved in 16 - 21,5% and every second that died in car accident did not use a seat belt. All this included the need for continuous education and motivation in order to impose a pattern of responsible behavior in traffic, either as a passenger or driver. In 2016, HAK conceived and launched the project "KLIK - habit of responsible behavior" for adolescents.
Young drivers are among the most dangerous group of road users. On Czech roads, drivers under the age of 24 cause every 10th accident and are responsible for every 6th dead or seriously injured. The most common reason is fast driving. Alcohol and drugs also have a great influence on their accidents. Young motorists often take unnecessary risks, look for adrenaline situations, overestimate their abilities, but they cannot react to danger.

We train future drivers so that they are modern and safe drivers who also care about the environment. We conduct training in a much broader scope than required by local curricula. We use an electric car, a car with an automatic transmission. We take part in a special project of driving lessons on the motorway. Each student takes such classes as a standard part of the driving license course.

Urban mobility is not gender-neutral. Public and shared transport often fails to accommodate the diverse and complex mobility needs of women. Men in the UK continue to make twice as many cycle trips compared to women . We see this pattern emerging in new forms of micromobility too, like escooters, but not everywhere and we need to identify what broader factors are negatively affecting uptake. Our ridership profile in the Nordics is close to even between women and men, all countries with longer histories of gender inclusion, suggesting micromobility may not be the challenge to increased adoption. TIER is committed to understanding how micromobility innovation can respond to barriers that prevent women from moving freely in cities, and to develop and share best practices across the 500+ cities we operate in. To change mobility for good, and understand the mobility needs of women, TIER partnered with Safe & the City to conduct a multi-regional study of 403 women in the UK and 411 women in Berlin. Note that this study is part of a broader shift within TIER, including Women of TIER, which strives for a diverse and inclusive workplace and industry by showcasing female role models and a DEI strategy to improve representation at all levels of our business so it too reflects a more inclusive rider base.
