The Road Safety Programme promoted by the abertis foundation is the best evidence of the role of leadership our organisation takes on to ensure the safety of drivers and pedestrians and to prevent and reduce the accident rate.
The objective of the Road Safety Programme is to inform and create awareness among the population about the problem of traffic and safety. Based on key target groups of public, such as drivers and schoolchildren, this initiative hopes to reach all the general public. The Programme is organised into four main lines of action: education at schools, research studies, technical courses and dissemination.
The Road Safety Project in Schools (new window) has as its objective to create awareness among schoolchildren aged between 8 and 12 about the importance of prevention as well as fostering responsible habits in them. This task also serves to reinforce teachers' and parents' knowledge.
The second line is the promotion of research into diverse matters, such as those focused on drivers of different ages or those referring to the accident rate and its motives.
The international congresses on traffic policies, the symposiums on highway anthropology, the courses by auditors of road safety or the sessions aimed at professional drivers are examples of the Technical Courses the Programme promotes.
The fourth line of action, the Dissemination Project, covers the edition of publications concerning the courses and books about safety, as well as preparing other material: CDs, DVDs, brochures, educational toys, etc.
