Overview
The South Dakota Department of Transportation's (SDDOT) Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSM&O) Program Plan aims to formalize and enhance the state's approach to managing transportation systems efficiently. The plan outlines strategies to optimize operations, improve safety, and manage congestion through better institutional structures, collaboration, and technology. It emphasizes the need for a structured business process, performance measurement, and stakeholder coordination to maximize system reliability and cost-effectiveness. Key focus areas include staffing, organization, culture, collaboration, business processes, systems and technology, and performance measurement. The plan serves as a guide for decision-making, planning, and implementing TSM&O strategies to improve South Dakota’s transportation infrastructure.
