REG has developed Road Controlling Authority reports to help decision-makers understand transport value using metrics, ratings and scores on service performance and outcomes.
A majority of the data presented in each RCA report is already available in various places across the sector – but is not easily accessible or easy to understand. Each of the 67 RCA reports make local results and comparable evidence available in two-pages.
Publishing the RCA reports should lead to delivering better value in the transport sector. These reports provide a national, objective picture of transport investment and performance in a single resource. RCA reports present clear and comparable data on value, and enable peer-to-peer comparisons and understanding of sector performance.
Performance results and evidence in each report are segmented into a headlines summary and eleven separate ‘zones’ – including Co-investor Assurance and Service Performance.

We published RCA reports for the first time in June 2020 using 2018/19 results and evidence. Publication of reports in February 2021 present transport sector data for the 2019/20 year.
The 2019/20 reports have been enhanced based on user feedback and the availability of new data.
