16. Abstract

Transportation systems management and operations, or TSMO, encompasses a broad set of strategies that aim to optimize the safe, efficient, and reliable use of existing and planned transportation infrastructure for all modes. TSMO is undertaken from a systems perspective, which means that these strategies are coordinated with related strategies and across multiple jurisdictions, agencies, and modes. TSMO strategies range from regional traffic signal systems management to shared-use mobility initiatives and include efforts to operate the multimodal transportation system and activities to manage travel demand.

The FHWA Office of Operations commissioned these case studies to highlighting TSMO strategies throughout the United States. The aim of this document is to provide State and local agencies with examples and advice that can assist them in planning and implementing TSMO strategies in their own jurisdictions.
