Assessing road safety performance in various regions of a country is crucial for improving overall road safety conditions and reducing the global mortality rate. This study employs the data-envelopment-analysis-based Malmquist productivity index (DEA-MPI) to comprehensively assess the progress of road safety performance in different regions of Morocco over time. Using a dataset spanning from 2014 to 2022, which contains data on road accidents, fatalities, injuries, the number of vehicles, and road traffic, this article evaluates the efficiency evolution across Morocco’s twelve regions. The study results show that the improvement of Morocco’s road safety performance during the studied period is unsatisfying and far from reaching the objectives of the current road safety strategy, which aims to reduce the number of fatalities by 50% by 2026. Moreover, the Malmquist productivity index (MPI) approach, which decomposes total factor productivity change into efficiency and technical changes, revealed that neither component shows a consistent trend throughout the studied period. This indicates that performance progress over time is insufficient and falls short of expectations, underscoring the immediate need for both technical and managerial improvements to address the current road safety challenges effectively.
