Meet Confederation of Organisations in Road Transport Enforcement (CORTE)

Established in 1997, the Confederation of Organisations in Road Transport Enforcement (CORTE) is one of the largest and most knowledgeable international (non-profit) organisations on road transport. It is a platform for more than 70 national (enforcement) authorities, transport associations and transport companies. Working across Europe and beyond, CORTE fosters cooperation between its members, the European Institutions, and the United Nations. CORTE supports research, regulatory evolution, and harmonisation of rules and promotes smart enforcement practices to achieve safe, socially fair, and sustainable road mobility.
