About EuroRAP...
EuroRAP is an international
not-for-profit organisation dedicated to saving lives
through safer roads. Our Members are motoring organisations,
national and regional road authorities, research institutions and
elected experts.
EuroRAP began as an idea in 1999 to address the unnecessary and
preventable toll of death and serious injury on Europe's roads. The
commitment of our Members has won the programme overwhelming
support. In the past decade EuroRAP has grown from a 4-country
pilot to a programme now active in over 30 countries.

page.
More information on our Members and activities by country can be
found on the Our
Partners page.
Measurement to Action...
EuroRAP supports the Decade of Action for Road Safety
2011-2020 and has committed towards a Europe Free of High
Risk Roads.
Road crashes are a major public health problem. Yet the causes for
road trauma are well known - as are the engineering treatments
that work. There is enormous potential to generate large social and
economic returns from better investment in safer road
infrastructure.
The economic imperative to act is compelling. It is estimated that
yet the economic savings from targeted action typically exceed the
cost of construction and maintenence, with savings continuing
long into the future.
EuroRAP's methodology is based on sound research and evidence,
drawing on decades of expertise by dedicated road safety
professionals around the world. For more information
