Refinement of Regional TSMO Organizations – Senior Leadership (C1)
Beyond definition and refinement of a statewide TSMO organization, the ALDOT Regional TSMO
organizational structure should also be refined to support the goals and objectives of the Statewide TSMO
Program. This refinement will provide a consistent organizational framework for TSMO regional
departments to enable peer-to-peer collaboration between regions for the benefit of statewide
operations. In addition, it will ensure that regional TSMO organizations have the right blend of staff focus
areas to manage and maintain successful TSMO operations.
