As in most countries, the activities of the PIARC World Road Association in Switzerland are managed by a national organisation: the PIARC Switzerland National Committee. PIARC Switzerland was founded in 1997 and is now affiliated to the Federal Roads Office (FEDRO).
PIARC Switzerland sees itself as a platform for the exchange of ideas on roads and transport. PIARC Switzerland promotes dialogue and the exchange of information between professional associations and interest groups in Switzerland and abroad. The participation of members in the Technical Committees of the PIARC World Road Association is actively encouraged.
