About

Automobile Club of Moldova (ACM) is a non-governmental, non-commercial public association founded in 1998. Since 1999, ACM has been a member of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the Eastern Alliance for Safe and Sustainable Transport (EASST), the International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP), the Global Alliance of NGOs for Road Safety, a partner of Global NCAP and the Towards Zero Foundation, and a signatory of the European Road Safety Charter, among others.

ACM is the national leading promoter of road safety, mobility, and accessibility, particularly for vulnerable road users. Since 2009, ACM has been appointed as a member of the National Road Traffic Safety Council of Moldova, alongside relevant ministries, contributing to the development of road safety policy documents such as the first National Road Safety Strategy 2011–2020, the National Road Safety Programme, and the 2025–2030 National Action Plan. ACM serves as the main NGO creating a direct link between national and local authorities and society, as well as the international community, to support more effective management of road safety, mobility, accessibility, and sustainable development.

Through its implemented projects over the years - particularly its active role in promoting the 30 km/h speed limit in populated areas and around educational institutions - Automobile Club of Moldova directly contributed to the adoption of the 2022 Government Decision that regulates low-speed zones as an essential measure for reducing accidents and saving lives. The ACM initiated awareness campaigns, organized public consultations, and actively collaborated with international partners and national institutions to implement this measure.

For its support of local public authorities nationwide in creating safe zones, the ACM team has been honored three times with the Prince Michael International Road Safety Award, received the 2023 FIA President's Award, and the Vision Zero for Youth International Leadership Award.

The ACM team is skilled in advocacy and in implementing international projects and national initiatives aimed at raising public awareness and promoting safety, accessibility, mobility, and a healthy living environment.
