Extent and nature of casualty problem in EU (cont.)
EC Adopted a target of reducing fatalities by 50% Identified several areas where it could make a direct contribution within the
constraints of subsidiarity
Road Safety Action Program (RSAP) Reaffirmed the target Provided further detail about actions it planned to introduce

The ultimate goal: No road deaths
How to get there?
Introduce and implement safe system approach in a long-term
Adopt a level of ambition to eliminate road fatalities and serious injuries in the longer term - with steady progress through interim (good practice) strategies and targets in the short to medium term
OECD, 2008

Why and what to set goals for?
Setting goals in road safety alone leads to improvements by creating a structure for their realization, monitoring…
The overall goal needs to be accompanied by partial objectives so as to allow for evaluation, accountability

EU target
In 2002, the EU set an ambitious target to halve the number of road victims between 2001 and 2010
Shared target supposing different contribution from Member States
Limited accountability measures and tools availability

Improve road infrastructure
Weakness comes from the lack of accountability – responsibility is not sufficiently attributed to concrete actors.

Contribution of Member States (1)
Five countries at sight of the target
France and Luxembourg are almost there
ETSC, 2009

mailto: horvath_zsolt@yahoo.com 12
Contribution of Member States (2)
Most EU countries have a general road safety target Many of them a very detailed strategy with sub-targets
No accountability mechanisms exists and the EU has no legal instrument to put a pressure on underperforming countries.
Only approach available is “blame and shame” used by NGOs, associations, media
ETSC has been monitoring contribution of MSs and their performance in various areas of road safety

Policy orientations on road safety 2011-2020
3 Pillars:
1. A common European road safety area
2. Shared responsibility (EU, national, local…)
3. An integrated approach with other policies (health, environment, employment, etc.)

“A shared responsibility”
Action by ALL stakeholders is needed
Public Authorities: EU + Central Governments + Local Authorities…
Private Companies: Car industry + Transport companies + Road operators « Corporate responsibility »
Users: everybody !
The EU acts wherever it provides an added value

• Czech Republic: Over-ambitious target with the absence of a credible enforcement system failed to bring effects
• Belgium: Separatelly setting targets for 3 federal regions helped to drive actions at relevant level of governance and led to significant improvements
• Scandinavian countries: Sub-targets were established with the help of economic criteria and closely monitored
• Germany: No national target, but comprehensive approach at local administrative level bringing fruits in long-term
• Netherlands, UK: Targets in terms of number of Police controls
Lessons from other countries

mailto: horvath_zsolt@yahoo.com 33
• Road Safety Action Plan 2011-2020 under preparation
• Most likely -40% road fatality reduction target and separate target for road injuries
• Most likely separate targets for particular road-user groups
• Benchmarking and data driven policy-making on the rise
• More accountability and professionalism...
