Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSM&O) is a nationally recognized program supported by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) implement TSM&O at the state level, with district offices tailoring strategies to address the specific traffic and operational needs of the regions they serve.

In South Florida, FDOT District Six manages and deploys a comprehensive set of advanced traffic management strategies to optimize roadway safety and performance across Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties.

The goal of the program is to keep traffic moving safely and efficiently 24 hours a day, seven days a week to promote the reliable movement of people and goods in the regional transportation network.

TSM&O delivers proven transportation solutions that use data, technology, and coordinated operations that are adaptable to meet current and future traffic needs. This is especially helpful in metropolitan areas like South Florida where limited right-of-way space makes it challenging to build new roadways that will keep up with demand.

The program is housed at the FDOT District Six SunGuide Transportation Management Center (STMC) where traffic operators monitor traffic through a network of traffic cameras and devices. The District works with partner agencies such as law enforcement, fire rescue, and local municipalities to provide a comprehensive approach to traffic management.

TSM&O Strategies include:

• • Traffic Management
  • Incident Management
  • Traveler Information
  • Arterial Management
  • Connected Vehicles
