Welcome to the online home of the Road Users' Alliance

The Road Users’ Alliance (RUA) was formed to provide a voice for all of us who rely on the roads, whether we are travelling on foot, 2 wheels, 4 wheels or more, to get from A to B.

RUA works to dispel the myths about road transport, to encourage properly informed debate about the future of our transport system, and to make the case for a better-balanced funding approach that meets the real transport needs of the UK.

RUA presents the facts on funding in our annual publication, Road File. Road users pay 10 times more to the Treasury than the Government returns in improving the road network. It’s time for a fairer deal.

Membership is now open to individuals who would like to add their voice to RUA’s campaign.

Join us if you think it’s time to get real about road transport.

Director's Soapbox

Road File 2011 makes grim reading with its catalogue of evidence of a failing road transport system.

With the country struggling to regain its economic strength, not least by reinvigorating the manufacturing sector to boost exports, banks have been pressurised to lend to SMEs to help them lead the charge from the regions. Despite the urge to increase Britain’s productivity there is no recognition that the vital tool for nearly all businesses – the road network –has been sorely neglected for so long.
