RHA welcomes West Midlands Transport and Infrastructure Campus

The RHA has today welcomed the announcement that the West Midlands will become the Government's centre for transport and infrastructure with a new campus bringing together expertise to accelerate regional growth and delivery.

The association has long advocated on behalf of its members in the West Midlands but warns that action must now follow the government’s announcement to further unlock the region’s potential.


Commenting, RHA UK Director of Public Affairs & Policy, David Boot said:

"A modern, connected economy demands modern infrastructure. Road investment is the foundation upon which economic prosperity is built. We've long called for infrastructure investment to support housing developments and to support firms in road freight and logistics that are key to meeting house building targets.

“We welcome this announcement as a positive step in recognising the West Midlands as a key transport hub, and we want to see meaningful delivery as soon as possible to further support sectors like ours that are crucial to connecting communities and to driving economic growth across the country”.
