What is TSM&O? TSM&O Vision How TSM&O relates to

Caltrans’ mission and CTP vision

The “whole enchilada” - Integrated Corridor Management

Congested Corridors to Connected Corridors

Transportation System Management & Operations In partnership with transportation stakeholders,

Transportation System Management & Operations (TSM&O) envisions a coordinated, well-maintained and efficiently performing technological infrastructure.

TSM&O uses real-time traffic management to improve safety, optimize flow and minimize transportation impacts on the environment, while adhering to statewide standards and consistency with federal rules and regulations.

The “Whole Enchilada” – Integrated Corridor Management Caltrans seeks to implement

TMS&O on our most congested corridors through Integrated Corridor Management, or ICM.

(ICM) Optimizes the use of existing infrastructure assets and leverages unused capacity

Integrated Corridor Management ICM is a coordinated system management

of freeways, ramps, arterials and other local roadways to provide safe, reliable travel for all users in all modes, using: Fully functioning TMS systems Well-maintained infrastructure Managed/Priced lanes Advanced ramp meter operations Enhanced communication networks Freeway Service Patrol & Incident Management

strategies Enhanced traveler information Decision support system Approved concepts of operations with local and

regional partners

Changing Congested Corridors to Connected

Corridors Caltrans will lead

ICM implementation in California by targeting the most congested corridors.

Connected Corridors: Enables coordination of

existing transportation infrastructure and vehicles

Delivers improved corridor performance

Improves accountability Evolves Caltrans to

real-time operations and management

Enhances regional , local and private sector partnerships

Connected Corridors Pilot – Overview Caltrans/UC PATH/Regional collaborative effort to

select the most suitable corridor Corridor’s Infrastructure readiness Least impacted by planned construction Cities’ relative infrastructure/ technological

advancement Significant Congestion Number of Incidents and Events Parallel arterials Top Priority Corridors for Investment – I-110 and I-210

in Los Angeles and the SR-57/SR-91/ I-5 triangle in Orange County
