The Society of Road Safety Auditors, CIHT Republic of Ireland and Transport Infrastructure Ireland are excited to host the SoRSA Ireland Conference 2026: Safer town centres and housing developments in Athlone on Thursday 23rd April.
Join us for a full day of insight, discussion and practical learning at this year’s SoRSA Ireland Conference, exploring the latest thinking in road safety, active travel and emerging mobility. The morning sessions focus on audits, policy and street design, followed by a deep dive into active travel schemes, zero‑emission mobility and e‑scooter considerations. After networking over lunch, the afternoon turns to real‑world practice with expert-led presentations, an interactive workshop, and a detailed look at collision investigation.
Anyone working or interested in highways and transportation, particularly related to road safety.
