The ETSC Road Safety Performance Index (PIN) is a policy tool to help EU Member States improve 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 maximum safety.
Cross-country comparisons are published three times a year in the series of Road Safety PIN Flashes. Since the beginning of the programme, cross-national comparisons have addressed a wide range of road safety themes and indicators. In June each year the PIN Report is launched at the PIN Annual Conference.
