Group Chair: Christine Francis

Vice Chair: Susan MacFadyen

The SCOTS Roads Asset Management Group’s purpose is to manage delivery of the SCOTS Roads Asset Management Planning (RAMP) project. This is a national collaborative project, established in 2008, that continues to develop SCOTS asset management recommended practice through a framework of practical guidance, tools and templates to support efficient and effective maintenance of the Scottish local road network.  All 32 authorities participate in the project, have adopted the RAMP framework, and benefit from access to the consultancy expertise and regular practitioner training that the Project provides.

The RAMP Group consists of a Project Manager and Steering Group with representation from other SCOTS groups. Glasgow City Council administers the project on behalf of SCOTS.
