Overview
The Maryland Department of Transportation's 2018 Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSMO) Strategic Plan outlines a comprehensive approach to optimize the performance of existing multimodal infrastructure. The plan emphasizes integrating TSMO as a core program area, developing a formal investment strategy, and establishing processes for estimating lifecycle operations and maintenance costs. It also highlights the importance of functional integration, particularly in advanced operations and system performance, and recommends improvements to the Transportation Operations Center structure. By implementing these strategies, MDOT aims to enhance safety, reduce congestion, and improve the reliability of Maryland's transportation network.
