The Highways Maintenance Efficiency Programme (HMEP)

HMEP logo

HMEP is a sector-led transformation programme designed to maximise returns from highways investment and deliver efficient and effective services.  Aimed at the local highways sector, the programme runs to 2018 and is sponsored by the Department for Transport who are providing £6 million funding.

HMEP is a partnership between public and private sectors, and the programme team consists of representatives from local and highway authorities, companies and central government.

The foundation stones for HMEP will be:

  • By the sector, for the sector
  • Practical and adaptable approach
  • Results driven
