City of Miami Beach Unveils Transportation Management Center Operations to City Officials

The Florida Department of Transportation’s (FDOT) District Six Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSM&O) Program and the City of Miami Beach (CoMB) co-hosted a tour for the city’s elected officials and other notable leaders in February.

 

The tour unveiled the CoMB’s Transportation Management Center (TMC) that recently opened in the District Six SunGuide TMC building. The esteemed guests included the city’s mayor, commissioners, law enforcement personnel, and executive management staff. FDOT welcomed the group and provided an overview of the TSM&O program as well as the real-time traffic services provided from the SunGuide TMC including traffic management, incident management, and traveler information. FDOT answered questions about the current projects impacting the city like the construction of the 395 Signature Bridge, 95 Express, and others. The agency also highlighted the successful partnership with CoMB and the benefits that will be yielded to the community as a result of their joint efforts. Attendees then toured the CoMB’s TMC room located on the second floor of the building. The room is outfitted with a video wall and four workstations where dedicated staff monitors traffic and parking operations. City representatives explained the intelligent transportation systems infrastructure and devices that have been installed in the city’s jurisdiction that will promote the safety and mobility of their roadways. The tour and information presented was well received by the city’s officials. They were proud of the efforts and advancements being made toward improving the quality of life for the region.

 

The FDOT TSM&O Office has many partnerships in place with local transportation, law enforcement, and media agencies. The goal is to share resources and information to provide the region with a multi-agency and multimodal approach to traffic management in southeast Florida.
