ITF launches web overview of Covid-19-related measures for passenger and road transport in Europe

Paris, 26 March 2020 - A new webpage presenting an overview of Covid-19-related measures for passenger and road transport in Europe has been launched by the International Transport Forum. The page can be found at:

https://www.itf-oecd.org/covid-19-road-group

The webpage lists the restrictions imposed on road freight and passenger transport in connection with the Covid-19 pandemic as well as temporary exceptions and derogations to existing rules. The aim is to provide member country authorities and transport companies with up-to-date information to facilitate essential transport services during this period.

The information is provided and updated by the national authorities of the 43 European member countries of the ITF’s Road Transport Group. In addition, the page includes links to related information on the webpages of the European Commission and the International Road Transport Union (IRU), two of the observer organisations of the Road Transport Group.

ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORT FORUM
Who we are
The International Transport Forum is an intergovernmental organisation with 60 member countries. It acts as a think tank for transport policy and organises the Annual Summit of transport ministers. ITF is the only global body that covers all transport modes. The ITF is administratively integrated with the OECD, yet politically autonomous.

What we do
ITF works for transport policies that improve peoples’ lives. Our mission is to foster a deeper understanding of the role of transport in economic growth, environmental sustainability and social inclusion and to raise the public profile of transport policy.

How we do it
ITF organises global dialogue for better transport. We act as a platform for discussion and pre-negotiation of policy issues across all transport modes. We analyse trends, share knowledge and promote exchange among transport decision-makers and civil society. ITF’s Annual Summit is the world’s largest gathering of transport ministers and the leading global platform for dialogue on transport policy.
