In partnership with national motoring organisations and local authorities, EuroRAP assesses roads in Europe to show how well they protect life in the event of a crash.

[4] EuroRAP is financially supported by the FIA Foundation for the Automobile and Society, the International Road Assessment Programme, and the European Association of Motor Manufacturers.

Specific projects receive funding from the World Bank,[5] Global Road Safety Facility, and institutions such as the European Commission.

There are three categories of membership: EuroRAP has developed standardised protocols for showing the safety level of a road providing a common language that everyone can speak.

In low and middle income countries, the EuroRAP methodology provides a structure to measure and manage road safety risk, the basic building blocks of which are often lacking.

Performance tracking identifies whether fewer people are being killed or seriously injured on a road section over time and the countermeasures that have been most effective, including cost, in reducing crashes and injury severity.

Inspections are undertaken using specially equipped vehicles to collect digital, panoramic images or videos of roads as they are driven.

To enable cost-effective assessment of roads, there is a global network of RAP-accredited suppliers who are capable of competitively bidding to undertake high quality inspections and coding.
