TSMO often supports, impacts, or otherwise relates to other State and local transportation agency functions and offices such as design, maintenance, and safety. TSMO and these other disciplines can be carried out more effectively if the connections between these areas are strengthened. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) released nine fact sheets to provide context for these potential connections and explain how TSMO relates to: Asset Management, Construction, Design, Environment, Human Resources, Maintenance, Performance Management, Planning, and Safety.
