Encyclopedia
The Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety (PACTS) is a United Kingdom Parliament Associate Parliamentary Group which exists "to promote human life through the promotion of transport safety for the public benefit".

According to PACTS, the organisation's principal activities are:
  • providing an independent technical advisory service for Parliamentarians on a wide range of transport safety matters.
  • lobbying and persuading, identifying and promoting research-based solutions to transport safety issues through Parliamentary access and contacts.
  • promoting wider publicity and information on safety through conferences, seminars etc.
  • responding to Government, Parliamentary and public proposals for safety improvements.


PACTS has an orthodox view of traffic safety, supporting measures to reduce speeding, mobile phone use, drug and drink impairment; it supports measures to target inexperienced drivers via training and enforcement.
