The PACTS Road User Behaviour Working Party (RUBWP) is one of PACTS four Working Parties. Its role is to advise PACTS on road user behaviour matters and to help formulate policy. The RUBWP 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 RUBWP priorities forward.
