The Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety (PACTS) supports the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Transport Safety.  Its vision is “A transport system free from death and life-changing injury, in which all users feel safe.”.

The aim of PACTS is to advise and inform members of the House of Commons and of the House of Lords on air, rail and road safety issues.  It brings together safety professionals and legislators to identify research-based solutions to transport safety problems having regard to cost, effectiveness, achievability and acceptability.

HTA Chairman, Marcus Gough said "The HTA is the only dedicated UK Trade Association for the heavy/abnormal load industry.  It is worth noting that every single UK infrastructure project will require the specialist skills of our members.  HTA members are consequently a highly specialist group of operators with very different needs over other sectors of the transportation industry.

I welcome PACTS decision to accept the Heavy Transport Association (HTA) as members and we look forward to working with PACTS to influence strategic decision making that affects our sector and benefits our members and UK Plc”.
