Transportation Systems Management and Operations

The Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSM&O) Program endeavors to provide a safe statewide transportation system that promotes the efficient movement of people and goods, supports the state’s economic competitiveness, prioritizes Florida’s environment and natural resources, and preserves the quality of life and connectedness of the state’s communities.


The TSM&O Program is divided into three areas:

Management/Deployments


  • Promote ITS deployments on Florida's roadways, develop standards, maintain the ITS Strategic Plan, and implement a systems engineering process to support procurement and deployment of ITS
  • Deploy advanced traveler information systems and 511
  • Develop and update the ITS standards and specifications
  • Provide technical support and assistance to FDOT's District Offices and other partners
  • Promote and coordinate the statewide use of robust, non-proprietary ITS standards.
