Transport Co-ordination Centre

Local Authorities have a passenger transport responsibility because people need to gain access to places, activities and services essential for leading a full and active life:

  • places of work
  • shops
  • schools and colleges
  • hospitals, doctors and other medical facilities
  • leisure facilities - cinemas, swimming pools etc.
  • the countryside

Traffic congestion in urban centres is a worldwide problem that very few governments or local authorities have been able to tackle effectively.  
Parking policies, restrictions on goods vehicles, better public transport and traffic management are a few of the measures that have been implemented in the attempt to improve traffic conditions.
