Foreword
This National Guidance Framework establishes a basis for cooperation between the Highways Agency ("the Agency"), as the operator of Motorways and All-Purpose Trunk Roads in England ("the Core Network"), the Executive Members of the Traffic Operations Coordinating Committee (TOCC)(The Traffic Operations Coordinating Committee acknowledges the considerable contribution made to this document by the Core Cities Group representation on the TOCC Executive.
However, due to the Group's constitutional status, it is not a signatory to this National Guidance Framework.) representing Local Highway Authorities (LHAs) in England and Traffic Information Services (TiS) Limited as the designated provider of Traffic Control Centre (TCC) services.
We recommend that the general principles described in this document are adopted as the guidance framework to be used for negotiations and agreement with each Local Highway Authority. The spirit of these agreements will be developed to maximise benefit to the travelling public using both the Agency's Core Network and the LHA road network. This agreement and subsequent Detailed Local Operating Agreements are expected to be only the start of an operational relationship between TiS and LHAs that will be developed and strengthened in response to operational experience, for the benefit of all parties and "most importantly" for the travelling public.
The National Guidance Framework is signed by:
- Alastair Jefford - Chairman, Transport & Environment Committee CSS
- Jon Freer - Chairman, Transport Committee Technical Advisors Group
- James McCarthy - Director, Traffic Information Systems (TiS) Limited
- David York - Operations Director, Highways Agency
This and other related TCC Project documentation do not constitute legally binding agreements or commitments between any party but are intended to provide a basis for the voluntary partnership arrangements to be developed between TiS and LHAs.
