Overview
The Transportation System Management and Operations (TSMO) Strategy, developed by Metro and regional partners, offers cost-effective, multimodal solutions aimed at alleviating congestion, optimizing infrastructure investments, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the greater Portland area. The strategy emphasizes enhancing the existing transportation system through smarter signal timing, coordinated traffic incident response, and improved traveler information, rather than relying solely on major infrastructure expansions. Key goals include ensuring safety for all users, fostering collaboration among agencies, eliminating disparities experienced by marginalized communities, and preparing for technological and demographic changes. Implementation is guided by TransPort, a committee comprising transportation systems engineers from various regional agencies, ensuring coordinated efforts across jurisdictions. The TSMO Strategy serves as a roadmap within the Regional Transportation Plan, guiding investments and actions to achieve a more reliable, agile, and connected transportation network.
