MetroPlan Orlando’s Transportation Systems Management & Operations (TSM&O) Master Plan defines and prioritizes low-cost solutions that can maintain and improve the transportation system.
TSM&O solutions focus on operational improvements that can maintain and even restore the performance of the existing transportation system before extra capacity is needed. These solutions aim to get the most performance out of transportation facilities that are already in place, and can be effective alternatives to options such as roadway widening projects, for example, which typically cost more and may have greater impacts on communities and the environment.
The TSM&O Master Plan:
- Defines how TSM&O solutions and strategies can improve our transportation system.
- Coordinates the TSM&O efforts of each agency in the region to create a unified and effective planning approach.
- Prioritizes TSM&O projects to be included in MetroPlan Orlando’s 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan.
For more information about TSM&O, see the Transportation Systems Management & Operations page.
VISION, GOALS, AND OBJECTIVES
The TSM&O Master Plan promotes the Vision of a safe, regional, multimodal network that uses cost-effective technology to make the most of our transportation system.
