Impulsando el compromiso con la seguridad vial a través de la Carta Europea

On May 20, 2026, FESVIAL, as ERSC ambassador for Spain, hosted the European Road Safety Charter (ERSC) event at the European Commission Representation in Madrid. 

The conference was thought as a meeting point for Spanish members of the ERSC and other organisations also involved in road safety, providing a space to share experiences and knowledge, and also for discovering innovative initiatives, as finalists and winners of the European Road Safety Excellence Awards presented their projects.
