Freight Transport Association |
The FTA represents the transport interests of some 12,000 companies. FTA members operate over 200,000 lorries and around one million light vans; they consign over 90 per cent of the freight moved by rail; and are responsible for over 70 per cent of UK visible exports by sea and air.
FTA is also involved in policy shaping through the regional freight councils and national councils. The regional councils can advise among other things on Regional Spatial Strategies, including transport and infrastructure. The national councils are broken into modal groups. FTA engages with UK government to lobby for improvements to freight transport policy, mainly through direct contact with the Department for Transport and the Treasury.
