Whether you are arranging corporate travel, planning a leisure trip abroad, or sending a student to study overseas, the non-profit Association for Safe International Road Travel (ASIRT) offers valuable, well-researched Road Travel Reports (RTRs). These country-specific reports give travelers practical guidance to navigate unfamiliar road environments more safely.
Beyond what mapping apps and guidebooks provide, RTRs describe local road conditions and typical driver behaviors, and offer clear advice for pedestrian, passenger, and bicycle safety. The reports highlight hazards to watch for and suggest safe practices tailored to each country’s traffic patterns and infrastructure.
ASIRT collaborates with international partners on road safety initiatives. It is one of six organizations — together with the World Health Organization, the World Bank, EMBARQ, the Global Road Safety Partnership, and Johns Hopkins University — receiving support from Bloomberg Philanthropies to improve road safety in selected countries. ASIRT also helped establish the Congressional Caucus on Global Road Safety and works with the United Nations Road Safety Collaboration to promote safer mobility worldwide.
In addition to RTRs, ASIRT provides practical resources for organizations and individuals. These include corporate workshops, study-abroad reference manuals, and road safety training seminars suitable for business and academic settings. These tools are designed to raise awareness, reduce risk, and help travelers make informed decisions before and during trips.
For companies managing employee travel or institutions preparing students for study abroad, ASIRT’s materials offer targeted, actionable advice. The combination of country-level analysis, safety recommendations, and training resources helps reduce exposure to common road hazards and improve traveler preparedness.
ASIRT’s approach emphasizes prevention through education and evidence-based guidance. By focusing on local conditions, driver behavior, and vulnerable road user safety, its reports and programs support safer travel practices and contribute to broader efforts to reduce road injuries and fatalities around the world.
