Introduction & Scope

STATEWIDE STRATEGIC PLAN
• Texas’ metropolitan cities are among the most congested locations in the nation. • To maximize mobility using the available transportation funding, the Texas
Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is implementing a Transportation SystemsManagement and Operations (TSMO) program statewide.
• By collaborating with partner agencies and implementing data-driven decisions, the transportation network will be saferand more efficient and will improve reliability for travelers of all modes.

Introduction & Scope
Today we will be conducting a workshop-style survey focused on the institutional barriers of DFW joint Traffic Management.
We have developed a series of questions for the purpose of spurring conversation and ideas. The questions have an answer section for us to gather data for reporting. So for each question, we will have a
discussion time, then fill out the answer for your agency based on your understanding after discussion.
As with other TSMO workshops, our purpose is to gauge how well Dallas and Fort Worth districts are doing in the area of
collaborative Traffic Management and develop an action plan for improvement.

Website Coordination
Drive Texas:
TxDOT supports the travel information website, www.drivetexas.org, which provides highway condition information to the public. This website is valuable for construction and traffic information; however, it is also a great resource during adverse weather. Based on this information, travelers can make route planning decisions prior to beginning their journeys. This supports the
statewide TSMO objectives to consider the user experience and provide traveler information. This can be seen as a gateway to district websites.
