Road Safety Crisis: Dominican Republic
What would cut road deaths fastest — engineering, enforcement, post-crash care and data — and how to finance it
The Dominican Republic has carried one of the world's highest road-death rates for over a decade — WHO estimated 64.6 deaths per 100,000 people in 2019, and national counts hovered near 3,000 deaths a year through 2024. Motorcyclists are about 70% of the dead, and 85% of killed riders wore no helmet. In 2025 fatalities broke downward for the first time (−33%, to 1,994), and penalties under the new certified-helmet regime begin in May 2026 — a rare window where enforcement, engineering, post-crash care and data reform can compound. This study ranks the interventions by speed of life-saving impact and maps a financing stack — insurance surcharges, ring-fenced fines, MDB safe-mobility lines and performance-based road contracts — that does not depend on the annual budget cycle.
