Inland Transport Committee
Introduction
The Inland Transport Committee (ITC) is the UN platform for inland transport to help efficiently address global and regional needs in inland transport. In the course of the last 72 years, together with its subsidiary bodies, the ITC has provided an intergovernmental forum, where UNECE and United Nations Member States come together to forge tools for economic cooperation and negotiate and adopt international legal instruments on inland transport.
These legal instruments are considered indispensable for developing efficient, harmonized and integrated, safe and sustainable inland transport systems.
Key areas of work
In focus
Adoption of ITC Recommendations to improve road safety systematically
Governments adopted the “ITC Recommendations for Enhancing National Road Safety Systems” at the 82nd session of the Inland Transport Committee (ITC) (Geneva, 25-28 February 2020). The Recommendations can be found here. ITC is the United Nations’ regulatory platform in the field of inland transport.
The Recommendations form a universal road safety blueprint that can be applied in any country’s national road safety system, helping to identify and address key gaps with specific and interconnected actions across areas to be taken by different actors. They are founded on the success of today’s best performers in road safety and draw on the experience of the aviation and maritime sectors in effective safety management. The adoption decision entered into force on 1 April 2020.
