UKPMS Steering Group

The UKPMS Steering Group is tasked by the UK Roads Board with the short-term and long-term development of UKPMS as a tool to assist in optimising the performance of pavements on the nation's road network over time, and fully contributing to the provision of high quality network condition data for all of its stakeholders.
