Update on the International Road Assessment Programme's Road Safety Toolkit

In support of the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021 – 2030, the International Road Assessment Program (iRAP) has launched the new and improved Road Safety Toolkit.

First launched more than 10 years ago, the Toolkit provides free information on the causes and prevention of road crashes that result in death and injury. Building on decades of road safety research, it is a one-stop road safety resource for engineers, road safety advocates, students, and policy makers to help develop safety plans for pedestrians, motorcyclists, bicyclists, car and heavy vehicle occupants, and public transport users.

This most recent update to the Road Safety Toolkit has been funded by Bloomberg Philanthropies under their Initiative for Global Road Safety (BIGRS 2020-2025) and was undertaken by the World Bank’s Global Road Safety Facility (GRSF), with support from iRAP.  The review included peer review and road safety stakeholders survey to identify how the Toolkit could continue to reflect the latest evidence and research in engineering safety. 

iRAP is a registered charity dedicated to saving lives by eliminating high-risk roads throughout the world. Road Assessment Programmes (RAP) are now active in more than 100 countries throughout Europe, Asia Pacific, North, Central and South America and Africa, with iRAP working in partnership with governments, road authorities, mobility clubs, development banks, NGOs, and research organizations.
