• The Basic Multilateral Agreement (MLA) on International Transport for Development of the Europe-the Caucasus-Asia Corridor (TRACECA) is signed in 1998, in Baku, Azerbaijan.
• State Parties to the MLA are Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Georgia, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Romania, Tajikistan, Turkey, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.
• One of TRACECA MAIN OBJECTIVES stated within latest strategic document for further development of the TRACECA corridor “Strategy of the IGC TRACECA 2016-2026” (Road Sector) is dedicated to the IMPROVE OF ROAD SAFETY.
• ROAD SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS are primarily based on TRACECA Regional Road Safety Action Plan developed within Project “Land transport safety and security” (2009-2012) and implemented within Project “TRACECA Road Safety II” (2014-2016).

CONTEXT
• The Global Plan for the Decade of Action for Road Safety, 2011 – 2020
• EU Towards a European road safety area: policy orientations on road safety 2011 – 2020
• EU White Paper: Roadmap to a Single Transport Area –Towards a competitive and resource efficient transport system
Development of a Regional Road Safety Action Plan was based on three main sources of Policies and
Frameworks:
PREPARATION OF RRSAP 1/2
RRSAP took account of the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety and the various EU Policies. Six Action Areas have been defined:
1. Institutional Improvements2. Safer Infrastructure3. Safer Vehicles4. Safer Road Users5. Medical Care for Crash Victims6. Changing Attitudes to Road Safety
PREPARATION OF RRSAP 2/2
For each of 6 Action Areas, activities have been defined. Each country has made an assessment of their current status with respect to implementation of each of the relevant activities:
The ratings were defined as follows:1. No activity2. Some activity, mainly voluntary and/or ad hoc3. Activity in progress4. Further improvements being implemented5. Activity sustainable
Based on final assessments RRSAP was prepared.
1. INSTITUTIONAL IMPROVEMENTS. . .
. . .
2. SAFER INFRASTRUCTURE
. . .
3. SAFER VEHICLES
. . .
4. SAFER ROAD USERS
. . .
5. IMPROVED MEDICAL CARE FOR CRASH VICTIMS
. . .
6. CHANGING ATTITUDES TO ROAD SAFETY
. . .
6. PRIORITY ACTIVITIES WHERE SUPPORT IS NEEDED

Only systematic work, based on implemented
Road Safety Strategies and Action Plans will lead to the
decreasing of crash fatalities.
Thank you for your attention!
