The BMTMC’s partners and stakeholders
RACQ
The RACQ provides field services to the BMTMC. With its fleet of Traffic Response Units and numerous towing contractors at hand, the RACQ plays an important part in responding to and clearing traffic incidents quickly.
Police and emergency services
The BMTMC works closely with police and emergency services to provide safe and predictable transport network conditions. A senior police officer is posted at the BMTMC during working day peak hours and escalated operations to ensure efficient communication, and speed up incident response and clearance
Private road operators
Brisbane’s toll roads – which include the Clem7, AirportlinkM7 and Legacy Way tunnels; Go Between Bridge; and Gateway and Logan motorways – are managed by private companies. Any traffic incident on the city’s toll road network will impact on the public road network and vice versa. Therefore, the BMTMC has ongoing contact with the traffic management centres of private road operators in the area to exchange information, coordinate incident responses and publish traffic information.
Public and commercial broadcasters
Broadcasters of traffic information are important stakeholders to the BMTMC. Based at our Traffic Management Centre, professional radio presenters broadcast live traffic updates during morning and afternoon peaks to local radio stations, including 96Five, 612 ABC, ABC Coast FM and ABC Sunshine Coast FM.
