The International Road Federation (IRF) is a unique global platform that brings together public and private entities committed to road development. Working together with its members and associates, the IRF promotes social and economic benefits that flow from well-planned and environmentally sound transportation networks.
Ever since its establishment in 1948, the IRF has been active in the advocacy of all issues relevant to the road industry, from financing to technology and from development to safety. It serves as a catalyst for public and private partnership to organize, promote and develop international road programs. The Federation works closely with regional agencies, such as the European Commission and U.S. Federal Highways Administration, international institutions such as the United Nations Economic Commissions, and financial institutions such as the World Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the Inter-American Development Bank and the Asian Development Bank.
With a wide network across more than seventy countries and six continents, IRF believes that it can make a difference in putting into place technological solutions in today's multi-faceted world of transport.
