The EaP Road Safety Performance Index, adapted from the European Road Safety Performance Index, represents a new tool for the region. Rather than looking at road safety in isolation, the Index recognises road safety as a multidimensional system outcome – the product of user behaviour, vehicle safety, road environment and institutional response. By bringing these elements together, the Index will generate a composite benchmark for the five EaP countries, showing not only overall performance but also country-specific strengths and weaknesses across critical domains such as crash outcomes, risk factors, system performance, enforcement practices and institutional capacity.
