Below is a schematic representation of the three pillars and the enablers that govern the JRA’s business. Customer service is the overarching benchmark that determines the level of success in the business operations. The JRA seeks to ultimately achieve the outcomes of safety, mobility and access for users of the road network.
For each of the key pillars that define the business of the JRA a set of focus areas have been identified. These will drive business operations for the next five years.
