The PACTS Road Environment Working Party (REWP) is one of PACTS four Working Parties. Its role is to advise PACTS on road environment matters and to help formulate policy. The REWP meets three times a year to hear from representatives from members on priority topics in areas that present challenges and opportunities to achieving the PACTS vision. Actions from the meetings include undertaking further research, or using PACTS’ tools of briefing papers, reports, events and engagement with Parliamentarians to push the REWP priorities forward.
The PACTS Road Environment Working Party comprises members from many sectors, including academics, local road safety practitioners and representatives of road user groups
