Overview
As demonstrated in the Business Case, TSMO solutions can significantly contribute to addressing transportation challenges. Therefore, internal stakeholders (such as NDOT Divisions) and external stakeholders (such as Regional Transportation Commissions and other local agencies) will effectively implement TSMO as a core function and will utilize TSMO elements such as a TSMO Evaluation Tool to identify opportunities for integrating TSMO solutions and addressing operational challenges. This tool will enable NDOT to maximize the exposure to and integration of TSMO in the scoping phase of every project, ensuring TSMO and its recommended strategies are formally considered and evaluated.
The implementation of NDOT’s TSMO Program, as described in the NDOT Statewide TSMO Program Plan, will result in a safer, more reliable, and more efficient transportation system through collaborative, performance-based, and targeted investments. The program is currently managed within the Traffic
Operations Division with the goal to be mainstreamed at a statewide level in the future.
The NDOT TSMO Program Plan presents a five-year action plan to implement the TSMO Program as part of a cross-jurisdictional approach to achieve Nevada’s transportation vision and objectives. The Program Plan includes three main components:
- Strategic Elements: Provide a high-level strategic direction toward achieving the statewide transportation vision through TSMO.
- Programmatic Elements: Complement the Strategic Elements by providing a more-detailed approach to identify the required structure for the implementation of a successful TSMO Program.
- Tactical Elements: Define detailed and specific strategies and actions required to achieve TSMO goals and objectives.
