Funded by the EU, the Observatory houses country-level data and acts as a catalyst to strengthen national road safety data collection, management and analysis.
Our mission is to reduce road casualties through improving the quality of systematic and consolidated data collection on road traffic deaths and serious road injuries in line with best EU and international practices.
Our latest quarterly data report examines the spatial dimension of road safety, comparing crash frequency and severity between urban and other (rural and inter-urban) areas in Armenia and Moldova during 2021-2023. The analysis explores how crash location influences fatality and injury outcomes and highlights key territorial differences relevant for policy design.
On 30 June 2025, the Eastern Partnership Road Safety Observatory hosted its inaugural regional road safety conference in Chisinau, Moldova.
Our aim was to take a deep dive into some of the key issues and challenges related to data and road safety policy from a regional perspective. This include the use of standardised frameworks (CADaS and mini-CADaS) and interagency data sharing, visualisation, and presentation of data with a specific focus on the reporting of serious road traffic injury, which was the theme of our keynote address by Antonio Avenoso of the European Transport Safety Council.
In this first Annual Report of the EaP RSO, there is already much to celebrate – including the establishment of a new website, productive exchanges and data sharing by member countries, and evidence of a great desire to learn from best international practice.
We invite you to download our Annual Report and learn more about our work in this founding year of the Observatory, in which we feel we have already demonstrated great potential for saving lives through good road safety data management.
