Nearly **800 enforcement officers** from public authorities, from **all 30 EU/EEA** countries, participated in training sessions in 2024.

The aim of the trainings was to **improve enforcement of road transport social legislation**. The social legislation, for instance, regulates when and where the drivers should rest. If drivers of heavy vehicles take their breaks and rest in the way the legislation requires, it will have a direct impact, for instance, on the road safety in the EU. The posting rules, on the other hand, regulate for instance which country's salary level should be paid to the driver. Drivers have the right to receive the correct remuneration in accordance with the EU posting rules.

The sessions, organized by the ELA in collaboration with the [Confederation of Organisations in Road Transport Enforcement (CORTE)](https://www.corte.be/) and the European Commission, focused on **roadside inspections**, particularly **driving time, rest periods, and driver posting rules.**

The five hybrid sessions were held in **Poland**, **Lithuania**, **Belgium**, **Italy**, and **Cyprus**. Member States were grouped by geographic proximity, allowing for targeted training and the sharing of best practices between neighboring countries.

The initiative aimed to improve **common understanding** and **the consistency of enforcement** of the provisions of the [Mobility Package I](https://transport.ec.europa.eu/transport-modes/road/mobility-package-i_en). Attendees also had access to guidance materials, including Q&As from the European Commission and [CORTE’s TRACE2 Enforcement guidance documents](https://www.corte.be/corte-activities/992-trace-2).

[Road transport](/en/topics/social-aspects-international-road-transport "Social aspects of international road transport") is one of the most mobile sectors in the EU and as such represents an important focus point for ELA. Based on the positive reception and requests from Member States for continuous support in the road transport training, ELA plans to expand the program in 2025 to include also posting scenarios and changes in EU legislation in the **passenger transport.**
