The Traffic Scotland service monitors the network using CCTV, roadside hardware, communication with the police, weather forecasts and major event management services. Control: All information collected through the monitoring process is processed within the Traffic Scotland Control Centre. The Traffic Scotland Control Centre operates 24 hours a day to ensure that traffic and travel information disseminated as part of the Traffic Scotland service is accurate. Inform: Traffic and travel information processed by the Traffic Scotland Control Centre is then disseminated via the Traffic Scotland service, including the Traffic Scotland website, the Traffic Customer Care Line, road side Variable Message Signs (VMS) and via the multiple Traffic Scotland data services available to public, corporate and media users. In November 2016 Traffic Scotland introduced a real-time service to allow drivers to track which roads had been gritted through the 'Trunk Road Gritter Tracker'. Regional Transport Partnerships The role of Regional Transport Partnerships (RTPs) is to strengthen the planning and delivery of regional transport developments. The first task of each RTP was to prepare a regional transport strategy. This is supported by a delivery plan where RTPs set out when and how projects and proposals would be delivered. Some RTPs are also responsible for the delivery of transport services. For example, the Strathclyde Partnership for Transport owns and operates the Glasgow subway and major bus stations across the west of Scotland. The seven RTPs are: Shetland Transport Partnership (ZetTrans) Highlands and Islands Transport Partnership (HITRANS) North-East of Scotland Transport Partnership (NESTRANS) Tayside and Central Scotland Transport Partnership (Tactran) South-East of Scotland Transport Partnership (SESTRAN) Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) South-West of Scotland Transport Partnership (SWESTRANS) See also Transport in Scotland References External links Traffic Scotland website 2006 establishments in Scotland Executive agencies of the Scottish Government Organisations based in Glasgow Road transport in Scotland Transport in Scotland Interested parties in planning in Scotland Road authorities Transport organisations based in the United Kingdom
