#GetToKnowIRF: The International Road Federation (IRF), headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, has held consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) since 1951. This status is more than symbolic. ECOSOC consultative status provides formal access to UN deliberations, allowing IRF to contribute technical expertise directly to global policy processes on sustainable transport, road safety and mobility. It enables structured engagement with UN bodies, participation in working parties such as those under @UNECE and involvement in global road safety coordination through platforms like the UN Road Safety Collaboration (@UNRSC), where IRF also chairs Project Group 2 on “Safer Roads and Mobility.” This means the IRF is positioned not as an external observer, but as an active technical partner in shaping international frameworks, linking engineering practice and operational knowledge from the ground with policy development at global level. It also enables sustained participation in meetings and conferences at the United Nations Office at Geneva, reinforcing continuity between field expertise, institutional dialogue and global decision-making on transport systems. As a member-based, non-profit organisation, IRF uses this platform to advance safer, more efficient and more sustainable road networks by ensuring that practitioner insight is embedded in international transport policy discussions. #IRF #ECOSOC #UnitedNations #SustainableTransport #RoadSafety #TransportPolicy #Infrastructure #Mobility #GlobalGovernance #Geneva

#GetToKnowIRF: Why are we based in Geneva? In 1947, a small group of European and American leaders met in Paris to connect national “Good Roads” movements into a coordinated international effort. This led to the creation of the International Road Federation in 1948, initially based in London and Washington, with a mandate to support national associations and represent the sector globally. As the organisation expanded across continents and its engagement with international institutions grew, proximity to global transport governance became essential. By 1964, Geneva had emerged as a central hub for international transport regulation through the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe and its Inland Transport Committee. IRF’s decision to establish its headquarters in Geneva brought it closer to the core of multilateral decision-making on transport, strengthening its ability to influence policy, collaborate with global institutions, and align technical expertise with international standards.
