What our members say
The work PACTS undertakes to raise the profile of road safety and lobbying Government is so important. Emma Kelly, Road Safety Support
As Chair of the Transport Select Committee (2008-2017), I found PACTS to be invaluable. They were always ready to make their highly relevant research available. It was a pleasure to work with PACTS. I am pleased to recommend them! Dame Louise Ellman
PACTS embodies the intelligence-led approach to road safety policy and practice, which Jacobs always advocates. We find PACTS events invaluable in maintaining technical knowledge and gaining insight into emerging issues. PACTS has also provided leadership in the Road Safety Alliance, conveying the group’s shared concerns about the future of road safety management to Transport Select Committee and others. Kate Carpenter, Technical Director, Jacobs
PACTS is a valuable and influential voice for Britain’s rail industry. It provides RSSB and its members with a way through to the eyes and ears of those responsible for setting government’s transport safety policy agenda and it enables greater opportunities for dialogue. In 2020, PACTS played a key role in raising awareness of our analysis which put into context the relative safety and health risks of rail versus road during the Covid-19 pandemic. Mark Phillips, Chief Executive Officer, Rail Safety and Standards Board
PACTS is a forum in which the road, rail and aviation sectors meet to share safety thinking and strategy. It is remarkable how common problems such as operator fatigue are managed so differently across the transport sectors. These differences can be used to drive safety standards upwards across all the sectors. Dr Robert Hunter, Head of Flight Safety, BALPA
