ROAD SAFETY: Towards a European Road Safety Area: Policy orientations on road safety 2011-2020
TWO MAIN POLICY PAPERS • WHITE PAPER 2011: Towards a ‘zero-vision’ on road safety • POLICY ORIENTATIONS ON ROAD SAFETY 2011 - 2020
Policy orientations on road safety 2011-2020 • 7 Strategic Objectives: • Education and training • Compliance with road traffic rules • Safer road infrastructure • Safer vehicles • Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) • Emergency and post-injuries services • Vulnerable road users • Quantitative target: - 50% reduction of number of road fatalities by 2020, starting from 2010 3 Pillars A common European road safety area An integrated approach with other policies (health, environment, employment, etc.) Shared responsibility (EU, national, local…)
“A shared responsibility” • Action by ALL stakeholders is needed • Public Authorities: EU + Central • Governments + Local Authorities… • Private Companies: Car industry + • Transport companies + Road operators • Users: everybody ! • The EU acts wherever it provides an added value
The “-50%” objective • A political & global commitment • - 43% achieved ( 2001 – 2010)
Fatalities – evolution 2001-2010 --- EU27 fatalities / year --- EU27 target for 2010 (-50%) -43%
The EU instruments Road accident data and information Financial support to research and studies Best practice guidelines Legislation (only when necessary)
Policy orientations on road safety 2011-2020 7 strategic objectives: 1. Improve education and training of road users 2. Increase compliance with road traffic rules 3. Safer road infrastructure 4. Safer vehicles 5. Promote the use of modern technology to improve road safety 6. Improve emergency and post-care services 7. Improve safety of vulnerable road users.
Policy orientations on road safety 2011-2020 How to reach the objectives ? • Improved cooperation Cooperation framework, twinnings, exchange of best practices • Improved participation Information and awareness campaigns, improvement of the European Road Safety Charter • Improved monitoring Enhance CARE accidents database, extend the tasks of ERSO (European Road safety Observatory), common principles for road accidents investigation • Improved enforcement Priority given to the control of the implementation and correct application of EU legislation on road safety
Policy orientations on road safety 2011-2020 Objective n°6: Improve emergency and post-injuries services Setting-up of a global strategy of action on road injuries including: Harmonization of definitions and concepts Setting-up an EU target for the reduction of injuries Enhance post-crash intervention organization
Public consultations • EU STRATEGY TO REDUCE INJURIES RESULTING FROM ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS • Consultation period: 17/04/2012 - 22/06/2012
ROAD SAFETY DATA - Accidents data : CARE database Legal base, Council Decision 93/704/EC • - Exposure DATA : Eurostat data • Transport data • Othe data : population - Safety Performance Indicators : no legal base
Safetynet project 1 - Macroscopic data CARE • Exposure Safety Performance Indicators( commonmethodology) 2 - In-depth Accident Investigation procedures Fatal accident data • Accident causation data 3 - Data analysis and dissemination
