At present the platform has 4 225 members, including individuals, associations, NGOs, schools, municipalities, companies and driving schools. The European Federation of Road Traffic Victims was its first signatory.

Specifically, the Charter aims to encourage and support civil society to promote road safety in Europe, acknowledge their work in doing so, help its members learn about and share knowledge on road safety issues, and promote dialogue at all levels of governance in the EU.

The Charter is based on four principles: caring about road safety, taking action, supporting road safety policies, and sharing knowledge and experience.
