The framework looks at the agency's ability to monitor and control traffic and the road network including the centers that coordinate traffic information. Broadly, the framework assesses the capability to efficiently manage the movement of traffic on streets and highways and includes corridor management approaches.
The capability levels and the actions are focused on defining the assessments from a traffic manager's perspective. The actions may require other agencies to be the responsible party, which is intended to foster multi-agency collaboration and dialogue about traffic management at the regional level.
