The Environmental Transport Association is a British breakdown and road rescue company, but unlike the AA or the RAC which are perceived as pro-car, the ETA aims to raise awareness of the impact that transport has on the environment and help individuals and organisations to make positive changes in their travel habits. They offer breakdown and road rescue for cyclists as well as motorists.〔Cycle Rescue http://www.eta.co.uk/breakdown/cycle_rescue〕 The ETA was founded in 1990.
