Subject(s): Online resources: Abstract: The purpose of this review is to identify best practice in risk assessment and target setting in transport safety and the scope for their wider application and further useful development, and to make recommendations, having regard to experience in Member States, developments at the EU level, and the prospect of enlargement. Road transport is treated at greatest length because about 97% of deaths in transport in the EU occur on roads and target setting is used widely in road safety policy. In rail, air and maritime transport, rather similar needs and opportunities for addressing the issues at the EU level are identified.
