Roads Board Advisory Group

meeting notes

The Roads Board Advisory Group (RBAG) was suggested by the UK Roads Board as a way to gather practitioner opinion of relevant topics from across the asset management industry. The job of its members is to feed back to the UK Roads Board on key topics of interest, including the monitoring of road condition across the nation, new survey techniques for roads, footways and cycle tracks, developing industry guidance, and new research developments. You can get involved by becoming either an attending member or a corresponding member. To request membership, contact the RBAG secretariat at TRL.
