Figure 6 depicts the recommended regional framework, consistent with Figure 5, Leadership and
Organizational Structure Section A. The Region TSMO Engineer will report to the Assistant Region
Engineer(s), who reports to the Region Engineer. The Region TSMO Engineer role currently exists as a
function within the ALDOT organization, but it may not be a formalized role in all regional organizations –

Refinement of Regional TSMO Organizations – Supporting Staff
Similar to the state TSMO organization, the regional TSMO organizations are envisioned to be comprised
of a formalized Region TSMO Engineer who is supported by department-specific managers for the

similar to the state TSMO organization, each of these departments is further supported by section staff in
roles relevant to the department. For instance, the Programs Department consists of a Planning
Supervisor, Safety Supervisor, and Funding Supervisor—these roles are considered section supervisor
managers. Within each regional section, functional roles have been defined (as applicable) to further
support regional section and department goals and objectives. In addition, the regional organization
includes Regional Traffic Management Center (RTMC) and Alabama Service and Assistance Patrol
(A.S.A.P.) operational support which is recommended to be varied by need.

level must be scalable and flexible (regarding the number of people in each defined position as well as the
potential to consolidate multiple roles into a single professional’s responsibilities) to be leveraged across
all 5 regions. For example, the West Central Region is currently the only region with a Regional Traffic
