The International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP) has joined Brazil\u2019s newly launched Road Safety Coalition, the country\u2019s largest coordinated initiative dedicated to improving road safety and reducing road trauma.<\/p>\n

The Coalition was formally launched during the Highway Biennial, organised by the Brazilian Association of Highway Concessionaires (ABCR) in Bras\u00edlia on 17 June. It\u00a0expands on the Road Safety Pact established in 2023 and aligns with the Vision Zero philosophy that no loss of life on the road is acceptable.<\/p>\n

Bringing together representatives from government, highway concessionaires, non-profit organisations, industry and road safety experts, Coalition members are committed to halving road deaths and serious injuries over the next decade.<\/p>\n

Presented by ABCR President and CEO Marco Aur\u00e9lio Barcelos and Executive Director Marco Ant\u00f4nio Giusti, the initiative\u00a0will focus on measurable targets, ongoing monitoring, knowledge sharing and collaborative action to save lives on Brazil\u2019s highways.<\/p>\n

It aims to strengthen road safety policies, promote best practice, support safer infrastructure and advance evidence-based solutions to address Brazil\u2019s road safety challenge, which currently claims more than 30,000 lives each year, 35 per cent of whom are motorcyclists.<\/p>\n

iRAP was represented at the launch by Global Projects Director Julio Urzua, who joined leaders from across the transport and infrastructure sectors, including Brazil\u2019s National Land Transport Agency (ANTT), concessionaires and mobility experts.<\/p>\n

By bringing together key stakeholders from across the road transport ecosystem, the Road Safety Coalition marks an important step towards creating safer roads for all road users and achieving lasting reductions in road trauma across the country.\u00a0Lire davantage<\/a><\/p>\n
