IRU partners on truck parking
Thursday, July 29th, 2010The International Road Transport Union (IRU), together with the International Transport Forum (ITF), has signed a cooperation agreement with the EU funded LABEL project to stimulate the development of truck parking areas (TPAs) offering sufficient levels of security and comfort.
The agreement notably includes the setting of criteria for security and service quality levels, public display of LABEL test audits of TPAs and the support from IRU and ITF to ensure the sustainability of LABEL TPA standards and certification, involving all competent governmental and non-governmental authorities, as well as business partners at national and international levels.
All partners will be encouraged to enter TPAs location and available services into TRANSPark, a web-based application jointly developed by the IRU and ITF to help drivers / operators to identify and locate safe parking areas best suited for their needs along their routes.
