Road Safety

Our road safety activities are designed for everyone and for all the regions where we are present. But there’s more: we have now set the goal of reducing the accident rate among schoolchildren in the Third World, starting with Jamaica and Brazil.

Think global, act local

20 September 2019

Think global, act local. An international group of toll road operators like Abertis are asking you to think globally before acting locally, with the specific needs of each region in mind. And it is hoped that the activities carried out in favour of road safety form part of the DNA of an organisation such as the Abertis Foundation. This is why the partnership signed between Abertis and UNICEF in 2017 to reduce the accident rate of school-age children.

It is not only youngsters in the major cities who are in danger if they take risks while driving. Those living in smaller towns are not impervious to road traffic accidents either.

The Abertis Foundation took part in the 4th Road Safety and Disability Congress held in Madrid on 20th and 21st December.

Who would have thought that this many years later we would still be talking about the pilot experience that started in 2011 in four schools in Sarrià? Talking about the Cooperante Vial (Road Safety Assistant) programme means talking about a success story in Barcelona and Madrid.
