Transportation Systems Management and Operations

The Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSM&O) Program endeavors to provide a safe transportation system that ensures the mobility of people and goods, enhances economic prosperity, and preserves the quality of our environment and communities.


The TSM&O Program is divided into five areas and a new initiative:


The connected vehicle initiative uses leading edge technologies to quickly identify roadway hazards and alert drivers. Among others, these technologies include:
  • Wireless communications
  • Vehicle sensors
  • Global positioning system navigation
