Abstract
The objectives of the ZEUS project and the resulting concept of an integrated system of transport safety are recapitulated in the article. The context for transport safety management that has evolved since this became a concern of the European Union under the Treaty of Union in 1993 is outlined, and some issues related to applying the ZEUS concept across Europe are discussed. It is concluded that there is scope for exploring ways of doing this, but that the balance of interests at the national and European levels and the difference in nature between safety management on the roads and in the other three main modes will need to be recognised.
