6 TSMO PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
The programmatic recommendations are provided in support of the stated TSMO vision, goals, and
objectives. These recommendations have been developed based on consideration of existing program
conditions; needs identified and discussed throughout stakeholder engagement (i.e. workshops,
interviews, committee meetings, and survey); and professional experience and best practices.
6.1 IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE
The Alabama Department of Transportation recognizes the importance and value of implementing a
TSMO program and approach to current culture, policies, and practices. ALDOT has invested significant
resources to optimize the movement, management, and motivation of people, goods, and services
throughout the State. It is recommended that TSMO programmatic recommendations, described in the
previous sections, be implemented in a prioritized, efficient manner.
The following implementation table (Table 22) details the recommended timeframe for implementation
of each of the programmatic recommendations. In addition, it is anticipated that this table can be used
for frequent reference and aide in the tracking of task status. Implementation recommendations have
been made in three horizons: near term, equivalent to fiscal year 2020; short term, equivalent to fiscal
years 2021 and 2022; and midterm, equivalent to fiscal years 2023 and 2025. Service layer
recommendations will be provided in respective service layer plans.
