The RAC Foundation is a transport policy and research charity focused on roads and their users, examining economic, mobility, safety, and environmental issues to inform debate and policy. Based in London, England, it operates as a independent organization within the broader context of UK transport research, producing impartial studies that stakeholders can reference in decision-making. The Foundation works with policymakers, industry partners, and other stakeholders to explore how road systems affect people and communities, aiming to clarify the implications of transport choices and support evidence-based policy development. Founded as a research arm of RAC Motoring Services in 1991 and achieving independent charitable status in 1999, it maintains a focus on rigorous analysis and public discourse around motoring and road use. In recent years, it has engaged in partnerships and research initiatives—such as collaborations with public safety and labor organizations and regional partners—to assess transport-related issues and evaluate interventions in various contexts.
