October 4th, 2023: Le International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP) today announced that Aleatica Foundation has become a Donor of the charity, contributing funding to help make roads safer in Mexico and the world.
iRAP is a UK-registered charity with a vision for a world free of high-risk roads. It works with governments, development banks, mobility clubs, industry and road safety NGOs in nearly 130 countries to provide the free tools, training and support to help them make their roads safer.
Aleatica is a global transport infrastructure operator that manages 20 concessions in seven countries in Europe and Latin America, nine urban highways, and seven interstate corridors, which together handle over 353 trillion vehicles annually. The company plans to invest 94.5 million euros in road safety projects over the next four years.
David Diaz, Aleatica’s global CEO, said: “Road safety is our priority. We focus on designing and operating highways and transportation assets that improve the quality of life in the communities in which we operate.
Aleatica and iRAP share the common goal of improving people’s lives by contributing to the reduction of deaths and injuries associated with road events and to foster a multidisciplinary dialogue between the public sector, private sector and civil society associations that will lead to better decision making in road safety, to generate tangible improvements in highway safety and to mitigate the economic and social costs derived from accidents. We are delighted to strengthen our partnership today in support of the commitments and objectives of the Global Road Safety Decade of Action Plan 2021-2030,” Diaz said.
iRAP and Aleatica Foundation signed a Memorandum of Understanding in November last year to work together to reduce Mexico’s road injury burden through the organization of projects and programmes to increase road safety.
This partnership is already underway and includes activities such as advocacy with key stakeholders to drive demand for road safety standards aligned with Global Road Safety Targets 3 and 4; the development of research, innovation, and platforms to support industry adoption of best practices for the design, construction and operation of safer roads; training of Aleatica staff; and support for the establishment and implementation of a locally owned MexiRAP Programme.
iRAP CEO Rob McInerney said, “We are delighted to extend our partnership with the Aleatica Foundation today and activities to make road safer around the world.
“Contributions like this are vitally important in ensuring that our life-saving activities are sustainable and remain accessible to every country.
“Along with the major donor support of the FIA Foundation, Aleatica’s donation will contribute vitally needed funds to ensure our tools, training and support can continue to be delivered free to the world.
“This is particularly crucial in low- and middle-income countries where 90 per cent of road crashes occur,” Mr McInerney said.
As a charity, iRAP’s lifesaving work is only made possible through the generosity of donors and the goodwill of many individuals and research organisations around the world who are committed to saving lives through safer roads. iRAP welcomes all contributions to help create a world free of high-risk roads.

À propos du International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP)
iRAP est une organisation caritative enregistrée qui œuvre pour un monde sans routes dangereuses et influence la sécurité des infrastructures routières dans plus de 170 pays. iRAP et ses partenaires collaborent avec les gouvernements, les banques de développement, les associations de mobilité, l'industrie, les organismes de recherche, les ONG de sécurité routière, les Nations Unies et d'autres organismes de recherche afin de fournir des outils, des formations et un soutien fondés sur des données probantes pour les aider à sécuriser leurs routes. La méthodologie d'évaluation de la sécurité routière par étoiles de iRAP est gratuite et offre une mesure simple et objective du niveau de sécurité intrinsèque de la route pour les occupants des véhicules, les motocyclistes, les cyclistes et les piétons. Une route à 1 étoile est la moins sûre et une route à 5 étoiles la plus sûre. iRAP travaille avec ses partenaires pour : inspecter les routes à haut risque et élaborer des systèmes d'évaluation par étoiles, des cartes des risques et des plans d'investissement pour des routes plus sûres ; fournir des formations, des outils et un soutien pour développer et pérenniser les compétences aux niveaux national, régional et local ; et suivre les performances en matière de sécurité routière afin que les organismes financeurs puissent évaluer l'impact économique et vital de leurs investissements. iRAP et ses partenaires ont attribué des étoiles à près de 1,5 million de kilomètres de routes et d'aménagements, ainsi qu'à 1 229 écoles, contribuant ainsi à la sécurité d'investissements en infrastructures d'une valeur de près de 100 milliards de dollars américains. Près de 1,8 million de kilomètres ont fait l'objet d'une cartographie des risques et plus de 63 350 personnes ont été formées à travers le monde. L'outil iRAP Safety Insights Explorer (https://irap.org/safety-insights-explorer/) met en lumière l'impact humain et économique des accidents de la route, le niveau de sécurité de nos routes et les arguments commerciaux en faveur de routes plus sûres dans les pays et dans le monde.
