Transport
Introduction

We work to promote sustainable transport which is safe, clean and competitive, through the development of freight and personal mobility by inland transport modes, by improving traffic safety, environmental performance, energy efficiency, inland transport security and efficient service provision in the transport sector.
In Focus
The 81st annual session of the Inland Transport Committee (ITC) will be held from 19 to 22 February 2019, in Geneva. Among the highlights of the session will be the expected adoption of the ITC strategy until 2030. Additionally, on 18 February a WP.1 - WP.29 Joint Event on the safe deployment of automated vehicles will take place. A second side event on 19 February will focus on digitization and e-docs in transport enabling growth and development. See the weekly programme and other related documents.
