GRSF provided support to the World Bank-financed Quito metro project, which includes a significant road safety component co-financed under the Korea- World Bank Partnership Facility.

Based on best practices, including those outlined in the updated Road Safety Transit-Oriented Development Toolkit and the GRSF-financed Good Practice Note on Integration of Road Safety Considerations in Transit-Oriented Development projects, GRSF conducted road safety audits for the immediate areas around 15 metro stations. This included general recommendations for all 15 stations as well as detailed designs for six stations. The work was performed in close collaboration with city transportation officials, who provided feedback for the detailed designs.

Among other things, the assessments concluded that street design around the metro stations should be improved by

1. Enhancing the safety of vulnerable road users
2. Protecting children through safe school zones
3. Automating speed enforcement, which can yield significant benefits in a short timeframe

The results of the road safety audits were also used to inform a road safety handbook for urban areas.
