World Road Association

World Road Association

The World Road Association is an international forum for the discussion of all aspects of roads and road networks.

Though established principally for professionals in its 142 member countries round the world, it also provides an illuminating view of the policies and trends that affect all road users. The Association was founded in 1909, following the first international road congress held in Paris when it was the called the "Association Internationale Permanente des Congrès de la route" (AIPCR), or in English, the Permanent International Association of Road Congresses (PIARC). Although the name has changed, the association still retains the original abbreviations in its logo and texts.

Its head office is located in Paris.
