TMC Site Visits to Three Locations- Palm Beach, FL, New York City, NY, and Baton Rouge, LA - March 2006
Participating Agencies: Florida DOT; New York City DOT; Louisiana DOT; Texas DOT
At the time of this peer-to-peer event, the Dallas District of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) was constructing a new traffic management center (TMC), to be called DalTrans. The center was scheduled to be completed in late 2006. The Freeway Management Department would not be provided with additional employees to staff the DalTrans center, and was about to research contractual management and operations opportunities. This trip was requested so that Freeway Management Engineers could visit a similar traffic management center to theirs, where management and operations are handled by an agency other than the state’s department of transportation. TxDOT conducted three separate site visits as part of this Peer to Peer exchange.
