How we are funded
Our core funding is set through the Road Investment Strategy (RIS) process, normally in five-year cycles called Road Investment Periods.
For each road period, we produce a Strategic Business Plan and Delivery Plan setting out how we'll use the funding provided to meet the requirements set by the Government’s Department for Transport (DfT) through the RIS and our licence. This enables us to plan for the long term, and provide the best possible service for our customers, the taxpayer and the country.
We entered Road Investment Period 3 in April 2026 and will publish our Strategic Business Plan and Delivery Plan in due course.
