What is the
Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSMO) program?

Transportation Systems Management & Operations is a strategic approach to improve safety and maximize efficiency of the existing transportation system. TSMO focuses on operational improvements that can improve or maintain levels of service without adding capacity. TSMO projects are typically lower cost, faster deployment options than traditional projects such as adding lanes to an existing roadway. Examples of TSMO project benefits include; reduced congestion, improved travel time reliability, improved safety, and reduced emissions.

The ALDOT TSMO Vision is to manage and operate a safe, reliable, optimized transportation system for all users through the collaborative efforts of stakeholders, technology-based solutions and innovative strategies.

ALDOT TSMO aims to improve operations in three key areas:

TSMO Objectives
Movement
Management
Motivation

Movement

Providing travelers with a safer passage by reducing the number of overall crashes and work zone incidents.

Assure efficient signal timings along with providing reliable travel time messaging to reduce congestion and increase mobility along the existing transportation network systems.

Management

Integrate TSMO solutions into policies, plans and procedures to uphold accountability amongst ALDOT.

Motivation
Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to maintain the improvement of quality practices. Invest resources to provide effective training that fosters growth and innovation.
