  15. RTTI Recommendations • The TMC Forum and Road Traffic Information Group objectives support the eSafety RTTI WG recommendations, e.g. service features, interoperability and coverage • If further National Authorities are encouraged to implement TMC then the TMC Forum can support them in this task
