The European Road Safety Charter (ERSC), led by the European Commission, is the largest civil society platform on road safety. To date, more than 3,500 companies, associations, authorities, schools, universities, and research institutions have committed to the Charter. These entities are brought together via the website, newsletters and social media to create a community in which members can share their activities, events and good practices. Each year, the ERSC Team organizes the Excellence in Road Safety Awards where members can compete with each other in order to win the award for best practice. These actions give the members the opportunity to inspire and motivate each other to work on our collective vision to drastically reduce the number of road causalities in Europe.
Each Member State is represented by a National Relay that connects the local members with the Charter and encourage other entities to join the community. Vias Institute has the honour to fulfil this role and to represent the Belgian members. Moreover, together with Ricardo plc from the UK, Vias Institute is part of the ERSC project management team and assists with the overall coordination of the Charter.
