The next steps
The consultation process
The Highways Agency has developed the RTCC Initiative as a major element in its future traffic-management plans. We now need your comments and advice on its implementation - and the opportunities and benefits it offers - so that we can refine our proposals before initiating the formal procurement process. We recognise that different elements of the private sector have different and valuable contributions to make - and therefore we want to consult as widely as possible on all aspects of the RTCC Initiative. This includes finding out what road users and industry want from RTCCs - and how we can satisfy those requirements.
We are keen to encourage innovative ideas that improve our service to the road user and give value for money to the taxpayer. To help stimulate this process, please pay particular attention to the key issues for consultation which relate to technical, operational, institutional, financial and legal questions. We would welcome your input through:
- participating in an RTCC consultation seminar in early January 1997 and further consultation thereafter;
- your written comments on our proposals by 30 March 1997.
We will be holding the RTCC consultation seminar in London on 9 January 1997. This will provide all interested parties with the opportunity to hear presentations on - and ask questions about - our proposals, exchange ideas and provide a forum for potential partners to meet. We will then publish a response to the comments received during the consultation. This will set out our plans for the most effective way of taking forward the RTCC Initiative.
