The ETSC's Road Safety Performance Index is a new policy instrument to help EU Member States in improving road safety. By comparing Member States' performance, it serves to identify and promote Best Practice in Europe and bring about the kind of political leadership that is needed to create what citizens deserve - a road transport system that offers a maximum of safety.

Cross-country comparisons are published three times a year in the series of Road Safety PIN Flashes. Over the three initial years, 13 cross country comparisons on ten different areas of road safety have been presented. In June each year a PIN Report is launched at the PIN Annual Conference.
