Enhancing Transportation: Connecting TSMO and Construction

Overview

As our existing transportation infrastructure ages and demand for travel and moving goods increases, more major rehabilitation and new capacity projects are required. This means that there are more work zones that trigger network disruptions and unexpected travel delays. These delays reduce the reliability of travel and can have a major impact on emergency responders and freight mobility. TSMO is integral to effective work zone management. For example, TSMO strategies can encourage travelers to use alternate routes during construction, enhancing the safety and efficiency of construction crews by reducing the number of vehicles traveling through an active work zone.
