The Global Plan for the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021-2030<\/a> sets a target of a 50% reduction in road deaths and injuries, and encourages countries to set ambitious Star Rating targets for road networks and designs.<\/p>\n Star Rating Certification can help road owners celebrate the life-saving impact of their investments in safer roads and raise awareness about their commitment to the Global Plan and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/irap.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WHOGlobalRoadSafetyTargets-3-4-only.jpg” title_text=”A long-term care system” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Any road or design that has been assessed using the iRAP Star Rating methodology<\/a> is eligible for Star Rating Certification. Certification is a voluntary process and can be performed for vehicle occupants, motorcyclists, pedestrians and\/or bicyclists.<\/p>\n For example:<\/p>\n Certification can be provided for whole and decimal Star Ratings, for example certifying a safety improvement from 3.2 to 3.7 stars.<\/p>\n As part of the Star Rating Certification process, Star Rating results for the road or design will be reviewed by experts in the iRAP Team. Once the Star Ratings are certified, iRAP will issue:<\/p>\n A communications plan may also be agreed between iRAP and the applicant to support promotion of the Star Rating Certification to iRAP\u2019s more than 20,000 partners around the world and celebrate success!<\/p>\n Hear Dominic Waterhouse, Civil Engineer from Arup Perth share their iRAP Certification experience and the value it brought to project partners:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/wIa8OGOjXi8″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Prior to applying for Star Rating Certification, Star Rating results must have already been produced for the road or design in accordance with iRAP Specifications<\/a>.

Generally, once a technical, communications and financial plan is agreed, the Certification process can be completed within 1 week.<\/p>\n Why do we charge a fee?<\/strong><\/p>\n As a charity, our lifesaving work is only made possible through the generosity of our donors. We also benefit greatly from the goodwill of many individuals and research organisations around the world who are committed to saving lives through safer roads.\u00a0 Fees for certification are vitally important in ensuring that these activities are sustainable and remain accessible to every country.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Improvement in Star Ratings and achievement of Star Rating targets is to be celebrated! iRAP can assist in developing a communications plan to support promotion of the Star Rating Certification.
