National Road Safety Observatory releases 2026 IRIS Portal update

The National Road Safety Observatory (ONSV) has released the 2026 update of the IRIS Portal (Integrated Road Safety Indicators). The tool aggregates data from all 27 Brazilian federative units to provide strategic information for planning and monitoring road safety public policies.

The classification system uses a one-to-five-star scale based on six pillars of the National Plan for the Reduction of Deaths and Injuries in Traffic (Pnatrans): traffic safety management, safe roads, vehicle safety, traffic education, victim assistance, and standardization/enforcement, plus a seventh indicator for mortality.

In the 2026 general classification, the Distrito Federal maintained the best performance with four stars, followed by Rio de Janeiro (3.9) and Goiás (3.8). States such as São Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul, Paraná, and Ceará followed with 3.4 stars, while Maranhão, Acre, Amapá, and Amazonas showed lower performance levels.
