TRACECA Land transport safety and security

The project objective is to improve transport safety and security environments in the EC neighbouring and Central Asian countries in line with European standards in the field of land transport (road and railways).

In particular, the project will provide technical and capacity-building assistance to the beneficiary countries' transport administrations in order to:

- raise awareness of land transport safety and security regulations and standards;

- support safety/license and accident investigation authorities, as well as security operators and independent certification authorities;

- improve legal standards for land transport safety practice (including for the transport of dangerous goods) and minimal standards for working time, driving and rest periods (including enforcement and the use of tachograph), minimal annual vehicle taxes and common rules for tolls and user charges.
