Dear Road User, 16 May 2004.

Roads are increasingly viewed by the National Highway Authority (NHA) management as a "service" and a "business". A new NHA vision has been articulated, and approved by the Chief Executive in February 2001. The vision states that
"NHA must grow into an efficient service provider to road users in Pakistan for safe and comfortable travel on National Highways and Motorways. From an expansion phase it must transition into a consolidation phase and seeks to maintain its road assets exceeding Rs 600 billion".
As part of its progressive commercialization, NHA plans to institutionalize regular stake holder consultations at the regional level, to elicit periodic road users feedback on its performance and to improve external accountability to its customers. In this regard National Highway Authority has planned stakeholder consultation workshop on 25 may at Lahore and on 01 June at Quetta.

Association of Road Users of Pakistan - ARUP www.pakroadusers.com through Mr. Asif Javed Khawaja, has been awarded a short term Consultant appointment to the National Highways Authority to conduct these stakeholder consultation workshops.

ARUP avails this opportunity in inviting your organisation to:

a. Participate in these workshops at Lahore (Holiday Inn) and Quetta (Serena) on 25 May & 01 June 2004 respectively.
b. Display your products, works and achievements at the display area being organised at both events.
c. Sponsor an advertisement in the brochure for this activity.
d. Provide your banners for display at either or both venues.
