The Parking Forum is a key influencer and voice concerning parking and transport matters.
Members represent central and local government, transport operators (rail, coach, bus & the haulage sector), motoring organisations, planners, technical institutions and research organisations.
Through their collective experience, knowledge and expertise, the Parking Forum has evolved to become a 'think-tank' and valid voice that aims to assist in current debates involving parking and transport matters. We aim to raise awareness of current issues and actively seek to provide important information in helping key decisions and policies made at both local and national level.
