European Road Assessment Programme (EuroRAP) is an international not-for-profit organisation (Associations Sans But Lucratif) registered in Belgium. It operates from Worting House, Basingstoke, Hampshire.
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. It is a sister programme to EuroNCAP, the European New Car Assessment Programme which star rates new cars for safety.
In a handful of years, EuroRAP has grown from a 4-country pilot to become a major force for change, with active programmes currently in over 30 countries. EuroRAP's success is now being replicated across the world with Road Assessment Programmes in more than 50 countries spanning Europe, Asia Pacific, North, Central and South America, and Africa.
EuroRAP is financially supported by the FIA Foundation for the Automobile and Society, iRAP, and the European Association of Motor Manufacturers (ACEA). Programmes are typically self-finnaced by in-country automobile associations and national governments. Specific projects receive funding from the World Bank, Global Road Safety Facility, automobile associations, regional development banks, national governments, charities, the motor industry and institutions such as the European Commission.
EuroRAP has received two Prince Michael International Road Safety Awards. The first in 2004 for founding the European programme, and the second in 2009 at the first inter-Ministerial conference on road safety in Moscow, for founding the International Road Assessment Programme iRAP.
