Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSMO)

Transportation System Management and Operations (TSMO) is an integrated approach to optimize the performance of existing infrastructure by implementing multimodal, intermodal, and often cross-jurisdictional systems, services and projects.

Transportation System Management and Operations (TSMO) is an integrated approach to optimize the performance of existing infrastructure by implementing multimodal, intermodal, and often cross-jurisdictional systems, services and projects. This includes regional operations collaboration and coordination activities among transportation and public safety agencies. TSMO is not routine road maintenance like resurfacing or guardrail replacement. TSMO strategies improve system efficiency, enhance public safety and security, reduce traffic delays of road users, and improve access to information for travelers. The emphasis of TSMO is an outcome driven, performance-based system. It is critical that regional operations objectives can be measured since they have importance on a regional level. TSMO strategies include but are not limited to traffic safety, traffic incident management, travel information services, roadway weather information, freeway management, connected vehicles and automated vehicles, traffic signal systems and coordination, work zone management, managed lanes, emergency response and Homeland Security, freight management, active traffic management, and new technologies that are rapidly occurring.

Congestion/delay increasing as economy and population grow but capacity is constrained
High value placed on reliability
Can no longer “build our way out of congestion”
2016 AZ Crash Facts
- Over $10 billion in economic loss due to motor vehicle crashes in 2016 -- that's $29.3 million/day.
