Overview
When Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSMO) is mainstreamed within transportation agencies, it moves beyond being the responsibility of a set of champions to become a core program and set of strategies that are integrated throughout transportation agencies. Mainstreaming TSMO engages staff from planning, design, operations, and other agency units so that TSMO is viewed as a core business function and TSMO strategies are readily understood and routinely considered in addressing State or regional transportation needs.
Some examples of mainstreaming include communicating about the benefits of TSMO solutions, building support for TSMO from a variety of stakeholder groups, developing TSMO programs within State Departments of Transportation (DOTs), integrating TSMO into standard processes and manuals with all disciplines across the project lifecycle, and establishing a culture of data-driven operations within agencies.
