Design & Construction Maintenance Ring out the Old

Design & Construction Maintenance Bring in the New TSMO

Transportation System Management & Operations (TSMO) is an integrated approach to optimize the performance of existing infrastructure by implementing multimodal, intermodal, and often cross jurisdictional systems & services. TSMO is not routine road maintenance like resurfacing or guardrail replacement. TSMO strategies improve system efficiency, enhance public safety and security, reduce traffic delays of road users, and improve access to traveler information. What is TSMO?

Traffic Incident Management (TIM)

TIM consists of a planned and coordinated multidisciplinary process to detect, respond to, and clear traffic incidents so that traffic flow may be restored as safely and quickly as possible Effective TIM reduces the duration and impacts of traffic incidents and improves the safety of motorists, crash victims, and emergency responders Traffic Incident Management Defined
