Delivering resources to save time, lives, and money

NOCoE News: Mainstreaming TSMO Webinar from FHWA

This week we also feature a case study on workforce pipelines for TSMO. 

November 18, 2021
Mainstreaming TSMO Through Policies and Processes
This webinar is part of an FHWA Office of Operations project to support mainstreaming transportation systems management and operations (TSMO) in transportation agencies. It looks specifically at how policies and processes can be used to mainstream TSMO in an agency, integrate it across divisions, and make TSMO meaningful and useful to staff throughout the organization.

Defining the TSMO Workforce Pipeline

This case study was developed for and presented at the recent NOCoE Summit on Workforce Development. The case study and presentation cover the following discussion items:
  • While the TSMO Industry continues to draw from traditional sources of workforce, to fully realize the benefits and meet future demands, workforce pipeline sources must be diversified.
  • Many transportation agencies face challenges in building a pipeline specific to TSMO because of organizational structure limitations, dated hiring practices, and TSMO awareness throughout the agency.
  • Best practices for developing the TSMO workforce pipeline include innovative partnerships, expanding depth and breadth of current development activities, and targeting a variety of diverse communities.
