An exhaustive roads management plan aimed at keeping traffic flowing during the Solheim Cup competition will be unveiled to residents next week.
A drop-in session has been arranged to give members of the public the chance to hear proposals for road closures, public transport and parking.
The tournament takes place at Gleneagles from September 9 to 15, and is expected to attract around 100,000 fans.
The information day will be held at Aytoun Hall, High Street, Auchterarder from 12pm to 8pm on Tuesday, July 2.
Presentations will take place at 1.30pm, 3.30pm, 5pm and 6.30pm, while officials will be on hand to answer questions.
David Laing from Transport Scotland said: “We have worked with key partners including Perth and Kinross Council over the past 20 months to develop a transport plan for all of the visitors to the Solheim Cup at Gleneagles.
“This drop in session is a great opportunity for the local community to see how that plan will work, in particular the bus park and ride experience and additional rail services that will be put on for spectators.
“The Solheim Cup will attract around 100,000 spectators to Gleneagles, with an expected TV audience of 600 million, so we want to make sure that the excitement and quality of the event is supported through this plan and everyone is able to enjoy this fantastic competition.”
