The RACC Foundation was created in 1994 with the aim of promoting the necessary measures and innovations to improve road safety and mobility in Catalonia and Spain, especially insisting on possible amendments to the regulatory framework and above all, trying to have an influence on the behaviour of users. Thus, the RACC got fully involved in this social target, giving continuation to the activities for a safe mobility that it had been carrying out almost since its creation in 1906.

In two decades, the RACC Foundation has generated new, very important knowledge on mobility by means of projects, plans, audits and mobility studies both at local and statewide level. At the same time, it promoted awareness rising, training and education campaigns dealing with the key questions of mobility and acted in the field of user defence and protection.

An institutional event was held in April 2015, in Palacete Albéniz, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the RACC Foundation, attended by the Mayor of Barcelona. During the event, the Barcelona City Council awarded the RACC President, Sebastià Salvadó with a recognition for the work done by the Foundation and its contribution to the promotion of a safe and sustainable mobility model for the city of Barcelona.

As a commemoration of this anniversary, the RACC Foundation produced the publications 20 Years Contributing to the Improvement of Society, a historic yearbook with the main actions carried out along these two decades, and Moving Forward to a Better Mobility, that brings up the main challenges for the future. A video with the history of the Foundation, told by some of the main protagonists, was prepared as well.
