A new ‘yellow paper’ highlighting road risk factors for fleets and how to tackle them is now out from AA Business Services.
The Our Future Mobility: Managing Risk on the Roads research paper has been written to help businesses navigate the impacts of a fast-changing road environment for their drivers.
The third in a series of AA Business Services for fleets, the new report focuses on the risks associated with the UK’s ever-changing road infrastructure, examining areas as diverse as road safety, road quality and EV charging infrastructure, while exploring the rise of autonomous vehicles and the future of road pricing.
The report underscores the advance of smarter, more sustainable infrastructure and emerging technologies such as connected roads, autonomous vehicles, and climate-resilient design, examining how this will impact driving for businesses, and sharing how businesses and their drivers can plan ahead.
AA president Edmund King said: “At the AA, we’re committed to creating a future where our roads are safer, smarter, and more sustainable. From advocating for transparency in fuel prices to pushing for better pothole funding, we champion the needs of drivers every step of the way. This yellow paper is a call to action for policymakers, businesses, and communities to join forces in managing risk on our roads and shaping the future of mobility in the UK.”
The report highlights a range of risk factors and what this means for businesses. It also details how the AA and others are actively working to help create safer outcomes and reduce risk.
James Starling, director, AA Business Services, added: “Our yellow paper highlights the importance of proactivity, agility, and collaboration in road risk management. Whether through driver training, innovative accident management solutions, or lobbying for infrastructure improvements, The AA is proud to lead the way in supporting drivers and businesses as they navigate today’s challenges and prepare for tomorrow’s opportunities.”
The yellow paper is the third in a series launched by AA Business Services this year to help businesses manage risk. The previous papers covered behavioural risk and human factors, while the second looked at asset risk and the operational and cost benefits of better managing vehicles.
The new yellow paper is now available for download here, alongside the previous reports.
