In partnership with national motoring organisations and local authorities, EuroRAP assesses roads in Europe to show how well they protect life in the event of a crash. It is a sister programme to Euro NCAP, and seeks to improve road safety through road design. EuroRAP currently has active programmes in 29 countries, mostly in Europe.

EuroRAP is financially supported by the FIA Foundation for the Automobile and Society, the International Road Assessment Programme, and the European Association of Motor Manufacturers. Programmes are typically self-financed by in-country automobile associations and national governments. Specific projects receive funding from the World Bank, Global Road Safety Facility, and institutions such as the European Commission.

EuroRAP has received three Prince Michael International Road Safety Awards; the first in 2004 for founding the European programme, the second in 2009 for founding the International Road Assessment Programme, and the third in 2014.
