EaP Road Safety Observatory The Technical Secretariat of the Observatory is hosted by Georgia, led by ISET Policy Institute and EASST which reports to the Steering Committee.

The Eastern Partnership Road Safety Observatory (EaP RSO) is a joint initiative of the five Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries – Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine. The Eastern Partnership Road Safety Observatory (EaP RSO) is a joint initiative of the five Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries – Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine – with the common goal to promptly and efficiently advance towards the eradication of fatal and non-fatal road traffic injuries. The Observatory houses country-level data and acts as a catalytic force to strengthen national road safety data collection, management and analysis, which is essential for road safety policy development. It is funded by the EU with support from the World Bank.

Every day, across the EU and the Eastern Partnership region alike, people are seriously hurt on the roads in ways that never make it into an official statistic. A cyclist comes off her bike on a poorly maintained path. A pedestrian slips and falls crossing a junction but no vehicle was involved. In many countries, because no police officer ever attends the scene, these incidents simply do not appear in the official record. It is as if they never happened at all.

Antonio Avenoso European Transport Safety Council contributes his thoughts on why road safety needs better injury data in this Editorial for the EaP Road Safety Observatory.

On 1 October in Brussels, alongside Connecting Europe Days 2026, three European observatories - European RSO, Eastern Partnership RSO and Western Balkans RSO - held a joint conference with the European Commission.

We compared how each region collects, analyses and presents road safety data. We looked at new tools like AI, drones and in-vehicle data, and heard how partners measure seatbelt use. We also got an update on the EU CARE crash database and the Western Balkans’ roadmap to join it.

The bigger aim is to align methods across Europe and its neighbours, so countries can learn from each other and make decisions based on solid evidence.

Thank you to everyone who joined and shared their experience! 📸

How can governments put a value on preventing road deaths, and use it to invest smarter? On 21 September, we explored this question with the Road Safety Facility (GRSF) – World Bank, and we are grateful for their expertice and contribution to the topic.

Special thanks to Said Dahdah (GRSF) for presenting the new Value of a Statistical Life (VSL) value-transfer approach, developed with Wim Wijnen (W2Economics) and Nino Pkhikidze (World Bank). This work gives countries without their own VSL study a practical way to value lives saved and to make the case for road safety investment.

The numbers show why it matters: road crashes cost low- and middle-income countries the equivalent of 2-6% of GDP. Building on GRSF's method, EaP RSO has produced VSL estimates for Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine.

We look forward to continuing our cooperation with GRSF to turn economic evidence into safer roads.

🚦 Webinar: Improving the Quality of Serious Crash Data and Investigations

Serious road crashes rarely have just one cause. Yet crash reports often record a single factor, which gives a misleading picture of what went wrong and what needs fixing.

Join the EaP Road Safety Observatory for a webinar on how Safe System–based crash investigation can help police capture all the contributing factors, from road user behaviour and speed to vehicles, road design and post-crash care. Better data means smarter road policing, safer roads and speeds, and stronger national road safety strategies.

🗓 Monday, 12 October
🕒 15:00 Tbilisi, Yerevan | 14:00 Chisinau, Kyiv | 13:00 Brussels
💻 Online
🌐 In English, with simultaneous interpretation into Armenian, Romanian and Ukrainian.

⭕ How do we measure the true cost of road traffic deaths?

The Value of a Statistical Life (VSL) is an estimate of the monetary value that society places on reducing the risk of death. It helps make the cost of inaction visible and gives governments a solid basis for deciding which road safety measures to invest in.

Swipe through to see how VSL is estimated and what it looks like in EaP Region.

Швидкість — це не лише те, як швидко ви рухаєтесь. Це те, як швидко ви можете зупинитись.

До того часу, поки мозок побачить небезпеку, нога натисне на гальмо і машина врешті зупиниться, результат вже вирішений. Саме в цьому проміжку люди або отримують удар, або ні.
