The European Road Safety Action Programme is the shared responsibility initiative established by the European Commission Directorate-General for Energy and Transport to help save 20,000 lives on European roads and incorporates the European Road Safety Charter.

Europe on the Move is a brochure, which was published in 2004 by the European Commission Directorate-General for Energy and Transport and explains the role and responsibility of the European Union in ensuring common development and improvements in the road haulage sector and public passenger transport. Road is the lifeline of the European single market for carrying goods and passengers door-to-door across the continent.

The European Road Safety Charter Scoreboard contains statistical information on each Member State’s road safety progress between 2001 and 2006. It seeks to enable Member States to compare their situations and encourage them to continue their efforts regarding road safety.

This presentation, designed by the European Agency of Safety and Health at Work (OSHA) and produced in 2007, defines workplace accidents and their role as part of a wider problem within the realm of public health. The presentation details the various types of workplace accidents, the frequency with which they occur, the factors that contribute to their likelihood and the consequences of these accidents. It also contains relevant statistical data on work-related accidents within the EU, including road accidents.

This booklet was produced by the World Health Organisation in anticipation of the First United Nations Global Road Safety Week in 2007, and was designed to provide event organisers with a guide to planning events during this very important week. The toolkit summarises the global road traffic injury problem, particularly in relation to the hundreds of millions of young people who travel the world’s roads every day, and outlines some of the solutions currently being pursued.

The Traffic Safety Basic Facts fact sheet, published by the European Road Safety Observatory in 2007, provides the main figures for evaluating the evolution of road accident fatalities in the EU-25 from 1990 to 2010. The report uses the European Commission objective of halving the number of road traffic fatalities by 2010, as outlined in its 2001 White Paper on European transport policy for 2010: time to decide, as a starting point and cites the 2006 Mid-term Review of the Road Safety Action Programme as a barometer for progress and prognosis.

This Annual Statistical Report, published by the European Road Safety Observatory, provides the basic characteristics of road accidents in 25 European Union Member States for the 1996-2005 period. It provides annual statistics for the number of fatalities, accidents resulting in injury, and injured people within the EU-25 during that period, as well as more detailed analyses, such as the distribution of male and female fatalities, the distribution of fatalities according to mode of transport and the number of child and senior fatalities per million inhabitants of each Member State.

This major world report on road traffic injury prevention is the first of its kind, and was published in 2004 as a joint initiative between the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the World Bank. The report contains in-depth statistical analysis and provides a strategic framework for action to improve international road safety.

The European Road Statistics report for 2008 is the seventh in a series of annual publications containing essential information on the road transport sector. The report, published by the European Union Road Federation (ERF), which incorporates the Brussels Programme Centre of the International Road Federation (IRF), contains statistical evidence and case studies on all aspects of road transport and safety.

The Panorama of Transport, published by the Statistical Office of the European Communities, Eurostat, sets out to describe, from various angles, the development of the transport sector from 1990 to 2005 in the EU-25. The report reflects the role of transport and its impact on society through the wealth of data available on the main Eurostat dissemination database, New Cronos, as well as various data compiled by different services and agencies of the EU, Japan and the United States of America.
