TxDOT District TSMO Program Plans & ITS Plans
Improves safety and mobility for all modes of transportation.
Quick Facts
Developed tailored TSMO Program Plans and/or ITS Plans for five TxDOT districts, ranging from metro districts (Houston), urban districts (Bryan, Beaumont), and rural districts (Lufkin and Yoakum)
TSMO Plans include recommendations to improve workforce development, business practices, systems and technology, collaboration, and performance measurement to support, streamline, and institutionalize TSMO projects and practices
Engaging the district practice areas beyond the Operations section was an important part of this process
Continue working with several districts to help the implementation of the plan
Results
Educated districts (particularly outside the Operations section) about TSMO, framed the business case for TSMO in the district, and identified what the district already does that falls within the realm of TSMO
Final TSMO Program Plans include action items for implementation to improve TSMO capabilities with a focus on mobility and safety
ITS Master Plans include a prioritized project list of field devices or systems (e.g., signal upgrades, cameras)
