Safe Roads
Road Safety: Everyone’s responsibility
4 June 2019, Lisbon, Portugal
This event is born from the collaboration between public and private organizations of Portugal and the European Road Safety Charter Team
The European Road Safety Charter, led by the European Commission, is the largest civil society platform on road safety. To date, more than 3.500 public and private entities have committed to the Charter and carried out road safety actions and initiatives targeted at their members, employees and the rest of civil society. These actions have strengthened road safety culture across Europe, improved common knowledge about the causes of accidents and helped to create preventative measures and solutions.
The Charter’s diverse community of members is made up of companies, associations, local authorities, research institutions, universities and schools. All committed entitles are given genuine recognition and their actions are made visible on our site, enabling others to learn and become inspired.
Specifically, the Charter aims to:
Encourage and support European associations, schools, universities, companies of all types and sizes, and local authorities to take actions for road safety in Europe.
Acknowledge contributions by civil society to road safety.
Facilitate civil society members in acquiring and sharing knowledge on road safety issues in the European Union.
Facilitate true dialogue for the transfer of road safety experiences and practices at all levels of governance in the European Union.
This event aims to become, over the years, a "Good Practice" within this European framework of cooperation and exchange on the subject of education and road safety.
