The Railway Industry Association (RIA) champions a dynamic UK rail supply sector. Rail contributes £41 billion in economic value and £14 billion in tax revenue each year, as well as supporting over 640,000 jobs throughout the UK. For every job in rail, a further four jobs are supported elsewhere in the UK economy, and every job in the rail supply chain is 29% more productive than the UK average. RIA’s 400+ members, including 60% SMEs, provide a diverse range of rail products and services. RIA advocates for rail’s critical role in economic development, sustainability, and high performance transport.
