UKTram has been set up to represent the tram industry in its dealings with the Government and other agencies. We are currently addressing a number of issues which are holding back the successful development of tram schemes in the UK. We have set up a series of Activity Teams, comprising industry experts in the appropriate fields, to investigate specific problem areas and make recommendations for change. These Activities involve tram scheme costing issues and procurement processes, as well as the valuation of the perceived benefits of proposed schemes.
