Overview
NOCoE’s Public Communications and TSMO Peer Exchange was intended to exchange information on best practices, learn about regular challenges, and identify resources needs around public communications and transportation systems management and operations (TSMO).
Public sector practitioners from the TSMO and public communications disciplines play a key role in advancing traveler information strategies and services: timely information sharing with the traveling public improves their mobility, reduces stress, and enhances safety for commuters and transportation agency field workers. Additionally, the collaboration between these functions also supports the sharing of benefits of TSMO to the traveler and in soliciting public feedback on TSMO strategies. The peer exchange addressed these two topics while also hosting a roundtable on additional transportation issues that intersect with TSMO and public communications.
