Society for Transport Safety (STS)
جمعية سلامة النقل — المملكة العربية السعودية
Saudi Arabia has government regulators, academic researchers, and infrastructure programmes in transport safety — but not one independent professional society representing the practitioners who actually run, operate, and manage safe transport every day. Until now.
Write rules and investigate accidents — but don't build or serve professional communities.
Publishes road traffic research — academic body, roads only, no practitioner development.
Rates road infrastructure with star ratings — infrastructure only, not people or operations.
All-mode, all-sector, independent professional community. This space is completely empty. We are building it.
Comprehensive professional services designed to elevate transport safety standards across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The Saudi Transport Safety Professional (STSP) credential sets the standard for transport safety practitioners across all modes.

The Saudi Transport Safety Professional (STSP) — Saudi Arabia's own internationally-aligned professional certification for transport safety practitioners. Whoever owns the credential owns the talent pipeline.
Our founding blueprint is not a wish list. It is a sequenced, defensible strategy that builds one competitive moat on top of the next — making STS impossible to replicate.
Never narrow to one mode. Own the full picture: road, rail, maritime, air, urban, logistics. Nobody else does this.
Founding CharterThe STSP credential makes STS indispensable. Whoever certifies the people, owns the profession.
STSP Launch — Year 1Saudi Arabia's first cross-modal near-miss database. After 3 years of data, we become a national strategic asset.
Platform — Year 1Within 3 years, no major transport safety regulation is drafted without STS being consulted.
TGA Advisory RoleCollaborate with STLA, Salama, NTSC as equals. Independence is our credibility. We never become a sub-committee.
MOU ProgrammeIOSH, GRSP, ITF, IRU, CIHT, ITS Arab — formal affiliations that no domestic competitor can replicate overnight.
Year 1 Target: 2 AffiliationsCommunity loyalty is the deepest moat. When professionals say "I am STS," that identity cannot be copied.

Voices from across Saudi Arabia's transport and safety sectors.
Discover how STS is transforming transport safety across the Kingdom.
STS collaborates with — but never merges into — these organisations. We are the safety layer that completes the picture.
Sustainable Transport & Logistics Association — our primary domestic event and knowledge partner. We deliver the safety dimension they don't cover.
Transport General Authority — we seek formal consultative status to review all new transport safety regulations before they are published.
National Transport Safety Center — we supply near-miss data and practitioner training support; they supply post-accident investigation findings.
Institution of Occupational Safety & Health — UK global standard for safety professionals. Affiliate status opens CPD pathways for all STS members.
Global Road Safety Partnership — WHO-affiliated body. Affiliation legitimises our safety advocacy at the highest international level.
Mutual recognition for the STSP credential and CPD accreditation — elevating the professional standing of every STS member.
