Road safety refers to transportation safety among road users and is a major concern in Europe and globally. According to the UN, road traffic deaths are also the leading cause of death for young people aged 15-29, and road traffic injuries are the eighth leading cause of death globally. Road traffic deaths and injuries also cause economic and financial losses to society.
CORTE plays a role in addressing these challenges as a partner in a consortium implementing an EU-financed project that supports the process of improving road safety and the introduction of the digital tachograph in Morocco. CORTE is assisting in the development of a road traffic control strategy for professional transport in Morocco and the process of convergence towards AETR and the EU, through institutional capacity building and strengthening the role of inspection.
