Operation Program (RTOP). However, as the benefits and efficiency of this program are realized, it is
recommended and expected that future RTOPs be implemented across the state.
It should be noted that recognizing limited funding availability within ALDOT, all these roles may not be
staffed as ALDOT employees and may instead be contracted to quality professionals and consultants (as
indicated with navy blue boxes).

Additional Leadership and Organization Recommendations
In addition to leadership and organizational structure recommendations for the ALDOT state and regional
departments, the following high-level recommendations also have been identified during the
development of the Statewide TSMO Master Plan.
The TSMO departments, sections, and supporting staff will need to be adequately trained to perform their
respective roles. To ensure that staff is well-equipped to perform the various functions needed at all levels
of organization, ALDOT should develop and implement an ongoing TSMO training program. As discussed
in a later section, this training program should be conducted formally at least quarterly, with topics
covering:
•
•
•
•
Signal Timing
Signal Hardware
Performance Management
Traffic Incident Management
