TP3 completes “Feasibility of a Regional Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSMO) Program”

The program recently completed a report entitled “Feasibility of a Regional Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSMO) Program.” The report is the culmination of a multiyear effort to provide the Central Florida TSMO Working Group with a framework on how MPOs across Central Florida can collaborate within a megaregion to advance TSMO in the planning process. The project included a literature review, case examples of multi-MPO and multi-state collaborations in TSMO, and interviews with agencies engaged in regional TSMO planning and management activities. A peer exchange was also conducted with TSMO planners and engineers from around the country to discuss how MPOs can collaborate to advance transportation systems management and operations in the planning process. This effort culminated in the formation of a recommended framework for a regional TSMO planning entity.
