The FGSV has been a member of PIARC since 1955 and acts as Germany's official National Committee.
This means that the FGSV can make the most of the co-operation between the government organisations in each country and other PIARC members from around the world. The National Committees help improve the work of national road administrations by providing a forum for the organisations and people working in planning, road construction, road maintenance, management and operation in the road and transportation sector. As the German National Committee, the FGSV can simultaneously learn from and support an international network of diverse association members.
The members of the World Road Association hail from about 140 countries and include national governments and authorities as well as collective members (e. g. companies and universities) and individual members. The official PIARC magazine, Routes/Roads (in three languages), is published four times a year.
The association is made up of the following four bodies:
- the Council,
- the Executive Committee,
- the General Secretariat, and
- the National Committees.
