The HTMA brings together a growing but still fragmented industry giving it a consistent voice and encouraging uniformity of standards. The HTMA intends to set high standards and to drive positive change within the industry. The HTMA believes this can be achieved by sharing best practice and harnessing the considerable resources of experience and knowledge within its membership.

While HTMA members are competitors in the same market, they share the same concerns and face the same challenges. More importantly, they share the same vision of the future of highways infrastructure. Our member companies have a strong will to share this knowledge and, as such, are a powerful information base.

The HTMA has an Executive Committee which sets a strategic course for the HTMA and brings together the output from a number of Working Groups which have been set up. Each Working Group has a distinct remit but all share the common goal of improving the standards and performance of the highways term maintenance industry. The Working Groups focus on the core industry issues of Safety, People, Improvements & Efficiency, Sustainability, and Procurement. They are a powerful and dynamic source of information and will act as a catalyst for change enabling the HTMA to address effectively the challenges that lie ahead for the industry and its stakeholders.

The HTMA ensures that major industry issues are monitored and addressed as appropriate. Lobbying is undertaken on issues as appropriate and where considered necessary on behalf of the industry to change legislation where it can result in a more efficient and safer way of working as well as minimising the effect operating the network has on the travelling public.
