A Collective European Voice

Imagine having data on foreign vehicles at your fingertips and access to a network of international colleagues with whom you can co-operate to lobby officials and politicians and achieve the changes important to you.

SPARKS Network members have opportunities to participate in EC-funded research that identifies practical solutions to traffic enforcement problems. Previous research from the SPARKS team has already exposed significant issues facing local authorities across the EU.

Working groups are addressing specific problem areas including effective data collection, the practicalities of sharing information across national borders, classification of offences, mutual assistance and compatible enforcement processes.

Members have opportunities to visit locations where cross-border enforcement is a particular problem and learn how common issues are being resolved in other member states.

An annual conference provides a forum for wider debate, while seminars and workshops share best practice developed out of the working groups, visits and research.

Regular communications keep members in touch with each other and with developments in traffic enforcement policy and practice. Communication tools include an online newsletter, access to white papers and case studies and the ability to contribute to the members-only section of this website.
