Online sessions for drivers, employers and social partners; on-site training for enforcement authorities. Passenger transport in focus for 2025.
The European Labour Authority, in partnership with the Confederation of Organisations in Road Transport Enforcement (CORTE), has launched the second edition of its EU-wide training and information programme on social legislation in road transport.
The 2025 edition focuses on passenger transport, offering a combination of online information sessions and on-site training sessions, tailored to the needs of different groups involved in the sector.
In collaboration with the International Road Transport Union (IRU) and the European Transport Workers’ Federation (ETF), ELA is organising four online sessions targeting:
The sessions will cover key topics under the Mobility Package I, including:
The sessions will feature experts from the European Commission, national authorities and social partners. Participants will have the chance to expand their knowledge of legislative changes in the road transport sector.
Interpretation will be provided, and recordings will be made available on ELA’s YouTube channel. Registration for each online session will open in due time. Interested participants can register via the ELA website.
ELA is organising four two-day training sessions for national enforcement authorities across the EU and EEA to promote a common and consistent approach to enforcing the Mobility Package I. The sessions cover key areas such as driving and rest time rules, posting of workers in both goods and passenger transport, light commercial vehicles, and recent changes for occasional passenger services.
While legislative updates will be addressed, a key focus is on practical enforcement—providing officers with the tools and methods needed to carry out inspections, including in cross-border contexts.
Building on the 2024 edition, this year’s training includes:
Road transport is one of the most mobile sectors in the EU and as such represents an important focus point for ELA. Based on the positive reception and requests from Member States for continuous support in the road transport training, ELA's training activities will focus on the EU legislation in the passenger transport.
