Transportation Systems Management and Operations

Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSMO) focuses on improved highway operations. The aim of TSMO is to improve the safety, efficiency, and reliability of state highways. TSMO strategies are lower cost, quicker to install, and may often use technology.

Examples of TSMO strategies

Road weather management

Managed lanes

Ridesharing programs

Low-cost geometric improvements

A multimodal transportation system benefits motorists, transit users, bicyclists, and pedestrians. TSMO supports a multimodel transportation system by focusing on operational improvements that benefit all users. TSMO strategies can help improve transportation in both rural and urban areas.
