In the framework of Cyta’s
corporate social responsibility,
the Organisation is especially
interested in Road Safety, a
subject of concern throughout
Europe and particularly in
Cyprus. |
|
|
In April 2004 in Dublin,
Ireland, Cyta signed the European Road
Safety Charter (ERSC) and, together with
38 other organisations, authorities and
companies from various European Union
member states, committed itself to the
common European goal of reducing the
number of road fatalities. In Nicosia on
February 13, 2009, Cyta renewed its
commitment to the aims of the Charter to
which, so far, there are some 1,750
signatories. Cyta is promoted on the
European Road Safety Charter website,
"In Focus". |

Turning its commitment
into action, Cyta has focused most of its efforts on
cultivating road safety awareness through special
instruction, chiefly among young people who make up a large
percentage of those killed on the roads in Cyprus. To this
end, since 2004 Cyta has held special seminars on road
safety for young people and, in particular, for all soldiers
serving in the National Guard. So far, more than 70,000
young people (soldiers and final year high school students)
have received instruction.
In what is an innovative project for
Cyprus, Cyta also offers specialist instruction to all
members of staff, a total of some 2,500 employees, and in
particular to drivers of its fleet of vehicles. It is worth
noting that, sice 2004, Cyta has succeeded in halving the
number of accidents involving company vehicles. On 1
December 2009, a new series of seminars for regular drivers
of Cyta’s fleet of vehicles began under the banner “Cyta
Responsible Driver”. To show their sensitivity to the issue
of Road Safety, employees throughout the Organisation sign
the relevant “Cyta Responsible Driver Declaration”.

Additionally, Cyta supports various projects initiated by
the Ministry of Communications and Works and by the Police
aimed at reducing the number of road accidents in Cyprus.
One such initiative is the provision of cycle helmets for
children visiting the Police Road Safety Park for
instruction.
An outstanding major infrastructure project, and one that is
considered to be of great significance for Nicosia, is the
Cyta Footbridge at the entrance to the capital.
At the same time, throughout the entire range of its
activities, the Organisation takes advantage of every
possible opportunity to provide the public, and its
customers in particular, with further information on the
subject of Road Safety by publicising the relevant messages
through information and promotional campaigns associated
with Cyta’s corporate image and the services and products it
provides.
Cyta’s involvement with Road Safety issues is promoted on
the European Road Safety Charter website:http://www.erscharter.eu
