In a moment of recognition at the 4th Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety, the Fédération Européenne des Victimes de la Route (FEVR) presented a special Certificate of Appreciation to iRAP, acknowledging their contribution to global road safety. The award, presented by FEVR President Robert Štaba to iRAP Chairman of the Board Miquel Nadal and Acting iRAP CEO Greg Smith, highlights iRAP’s staggering achievement: helping to save an estimated 700,000 lives from death and serious injury worldwide.

Robert Štaba said of the award to iRAP:

“A civilization and society truly committed to Vision Zero is guided by the only ethical and humane objective that matters. The sanctity of life and the value of health form the foundation of every individual and community.

At FEVR, we understand what it means to be an anonymous statistic in road safety reports. We give these numbers a name, a story, and a presence—because behind every statistic is a real person whose life mattered. They were our family, friends, colleagues, neighbors, and loved ones. Experts say that a single life lost on the roads directly or indirectly impacts 113 people. That is far too many.

iRAP is not just a program—it is a philosophy that truly understands this reality. For years, iRAP has been our natural partner, inspiring governments and communities to improve road safety infrastructure, eliminate hazardous sections, and implement comprehensive safety solutions. Through expertise, passion, dedication, and unwavering persistence, the iRAP team has helped save at least 700,000 lives from death and serious injury worldwide.

As former board members of EuroRAP, we have followed their progress, innovation, and impact closely for years. Today, we express our deepest gratitude to our dear friends at iRAP. Every life saved is a testament to your work.

On behalf of FEVR, we extend our heartfelt thanks and recognition for your invaluable contributions to road safety.”

iRAP is delighted to receive this recognition from our friends and road safety colleagues at FEVR
