The FDOT District Six Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSM&O) Office was selected to participate in this important event and share their latest projects and perspectives with fellow leaders.  The District Six TSM&O Program Engineer joined a morning panel with representatives from FDOT District Four and the Miami-Dade Transportation Planning Organization to highlight public sector strategies advancing TSM&O in South Florida. Panelists discussed the integration of artificial intelligence, evolving operational strategies, and approaches to securing funding in a dynamic transportation environment. The discussion provided attendees with a multi-agency perspective on advancing mobility and system performance.

District Six also participated in the “Emerging Technologies and Strategies in TSM&O” session that highlighted innovative projects and practices in the area. The TSM&O Engineer-Freeways presented on the District’s first connected vehicle (CV) project, named the Keys Connecting Overseas to Advance Safe Travel (Keys COAST). The project was launched on State Road 5 (S.R. 5), U.S. 1, (Overseas Highway) and enables communication exchange between the traffic signal infrastructure and participating vehicles to promote the safe and efficient travel in the Florida Keys. Lastly, the District Six Consultant Project Manager outlined the coordinated efforts required to manage traffic during high-impact special events such as Spring Break, national football games, major concerts, and preparations for the FIFA World Cup 2026. The presentation emphasized the critical role of the SunGuide Transportation Management Center (STMC) and the deployment of TSM&O resources, including active traffic management, incident management coordination, and traveler information for pre-and post-event times.

Collectively, the presentations highlighted FDOT District Six’s leadership in advancing TSM&O strategies, delivering innovative projects, and strengthening partnerships to support transportation operations in South Florida.
