On this page you can find Guidelines and Tools you need to design, implement and evaluate your road safety actions. Especially useful for existing members or any organisation considering joining the Charter.
What is a member activity?
A member activity is a road safety initiative — for example, an event, campaign, educational course, research project, or pilot programme — that is ongoing or recently completed but does not yet have measurable impact or evaluation results.
Submitting a member activity allows charter members to share their initiatives on the website, showcase their work, and inspire other members, even if the outcomes are not yet measurable. It is a first step toward documenting your initiative and may provide the foundation for submitting it as a Good Practice in the future once measurable results are available.
Tip: If your initiative already has measurable outcomes or proven impact, consider submitting it as a Good Practice instead.
A member activity can be submitted in English or any other European language.
Why submit a member activity?
Submitting your initiative allows you to:
- Showcase your road safety work to other charter members
- Inspire others with your ideas, approaches, or tools
- Share resources, challenges, and lessons learned
- Build a record of your initiatives for future evaluation
Selected activities may also be highlighted on social media, in the charter newsletter, or during charter webinars.

What is a Good Practice?
A Good Practice is a road safety initiative — for example, an event, marketing campaign, research project, educational course, or product — that demonstrates a measurable impact. It can be a completed initiative or an ongoing initiative that has already been evaluated.
Impact can be measured in many ways, such as:
- Number of participants in an educational course and their feedback
- Survey results or statistical reports
Impact can be local, regional, national, or international, and even small improvements contribute to safer roads.
If your initiative is still in development and does not yet have measurable results, you can submit it as a member's activity instead.
A Good Practice can be submitted in English or any other European language.
Why submit a Good Practice?
Submitting a Good Practice allows you to showcase your initiative and its impact to other Charter members and inspire them. Selected Good Practices may also be shared more widely:
- On social media
- In the Charter newsletter
- During Charter webinars
Additionally, the Good Practice of the Month spotlight highlights one initiative each month. The ERSC team selects the winner and informs them by email.
How to submit a Good Practice
Only ERSC members can submit a Good Practice. If you are not yet a member, you can register here.
Once registered, you will have access to the submission form, which guides you through the process.
Step 1: General information
Provide basic information, such as:
- Contact details
- Links to your organisation’s website and/or social media
This helps other members learn more about your organisation and get in touch if they want further information.
Step 2: Scope of your initiative
Include general information about your project:
- Project title
- Target audience
- Timing
- Background: why you chose this road safety challenge
This helps other members understand the context and purpose of your initiative.
Step 3: Project activities
Describe your initiative in detail. Consider these questions:
- What activities have you carried out/are carrying out, and over what time period? Provide details in chronological order to help others understand the development and implementation of your project.
- What worked well, and what challenges did you overcome? Highlight successes and lessons learned to benefit other members.
- Who were your most important partners? Describe key partners, their roles, and their impact on your project.
Step 4: Evaluation
Evaluation demonstrates the effectiveness of your initiative. Consider:
- How have you evaluated the impact? Examples: social media reach, surveys, feedback forms, statistics
- What has been the effect of the activities? Examples: number of people reached, reduction in crashes, summary of feedback, or results of a new product
- How is your initiative a good example of improving road safety?
- How have you shared information about your project and results? Examples: social media, local press, research articles
Step 5: Supporting Material
Upload pictures, attachments, or other materials to showcase your project.
Saving and reviewing your submission
You can save your input as a draft if you are not ready to publish. Once your submission is complete, mark it as “needs review”. The ERSC team will check your submission for completeness and accuracy.
You will receive an email notification once your submission is approved and live on the website. This typically takes about one week. The ERSC team may contact you if more information is required.
