YOURS is proud to share that our Executive Director, Raquel Barrios, has been recognised in The Zag Daily List: 100 Mobility Changemakers 2025, a global selection highlighting leaders shaping the future of mobility. The list celebrates individuals driving safer, cleaner, and more connected transport systems worldwide, and this year, Raquel stands among those actively redefining how the world moves.
This recognition reflects far more than individual leadership. It comes at a pivotal moment for YOURS as we enter the Decade of Sustainable Transport, embracing a narrative where safety, sustainability, and equity are deeply interconnected. Under Raquel’s leadership, YOURS is evolving from a road-safety-focused organisation into a global reference in youth engagement for sustainable, inclusive, and safe mobility systems.
Central to this transformation is Raquel’s commitment to elevating youth voices, not as beneficiaries of decisions, but as system shapers, influencing policies, designing solutions, and driving the change their communities need. Through the Global Youth Coalition for Road Safety, she has strengthened intergenerational collaboration and positioned young people as essential contributors to mobility transitions grounded in equity and accessibility.
“This recognition reflects the work young people are leading every day to push for mobility systems that are safe, sustainable, and grounded in equity. Their actions are already showing the world what this transformation can look like. I am honoured to walk alongside them in their leadership journeys, supporting them as the current and future leaders driving the changes our mobility systems urgently need.” Raquel Barrios, Executive Director, YOURS
Her inclusion in the Zag 100 reinforces the growing visibility of youth leadership in global transport agendas and aligns with YOURS’ mission to ensure that equity remains a defining principle of how mobility systems are reimagined in the years ahead.
We celebrate Raquel’s achievement and the collective youth power behind it. It reflects the momentum of a global movement working to build transport systems that enable everyone, in every community, to move safely, sustainably, and with dignity.
