Overview
While several guidebooks, primers, and case studies have been developed focusing on integrating TSMO strategies into the planning process, metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) have often faced challenges in advancing TSMO projects, programs, and activities for funding. This document discusses how MPOs have incorporated TSMO projects into the programming phase of transportation investment decisionmaking in metropolitan areas. Based on a sample of practices from MPOs that have emphasized operations strategies in the planning process, this document highlights findings on:
- Sources of funding that are being used for TSMO strategies.
- Methods for prioritizing strategies for funding.
- Staff resources devoted to TSMO–related activities.
- Initial lessons learned about effective practices.
This report includes case studies of practices related to programming TSMO strategies from nine MPOs around the country.
