The activities of the association are based on the interests of the “weak in traffic” - that is, children, the elderly, people walking and cycling. He provides decision-makers in politics, administration and business with information he has prepared as a basis for decision-making in order to implement the goals for Austrian transport policy. To this end, the association also develops research initiatives and conducts press work . In addition, as a civil service provider organization, road safety is a particular concern.
