Transport Focus is the independent watchdog for transport users.

We are an executive non-departmental public body, sponsored by the Department for Transport. We’re led by a Board of non-executive directors and run by a management team.

World-beating insight

We speak to thousands of transport users – and many who don’t use transport – to gain real insight. Find out more about our research.

Campaigns and advocacy

We use our insight to influence decision-makers on behalf of transport users. We also run consumer campaigns to help make sure that transport users get the best deal.

Making our meetings transparent

Transport Focus is committed to transparency, and as part of that effort we hold Board meetings in public several times a year. Lockdown put paid to real-life meetings but we’ve now started broadcasting live-streamed sessions, where members of the public can ask questions no matter where they are in the country. Progress!
