Transport and the way we travel is one of the greatest challenges that we facetoday. We all have a part to play and this draft Route Management Strategy(RMS) is a way for you to have your say in how we maintain and manage theM40/A40.
The M40/A40 RMS is one of a series of studies that are being undertaken for theentire trunk road network, identifying problems and helping us deliver a highquality service.
