Evolution of the project

ESRA1 - 2015 ESRA1 - 2016 ESRA1 - 2017 ESRA2 - 2018

• ESRA has shown the feasibility and the added value of joint data collection

by a network of road safety organizations.

• Intention: repeat this initiative every 3 years => time series
• This will provide a solid contribution to a joint monitoring system on road

safety attitudes and behaviour.

• Currently we repeat the ESRA1 survey in 13 Latin American countries (ESRA

LATAM).

• Next ESRA edition will be launched in 2018 !
