Strategic Visioning/Policy – Recommendations
were structured around the six areas of the CMM
which include, business processes, collaboration,
culture, organization/staffing, systems technology,
and performance measures. Specifically, the break
out groups consistently identified the need for
better collaboration between
interagency
departments and more education and outreach to
gain support for TSMO strategies.
Staffing/Technology – The break out groups
recommended methods to improve recruitment
and retention of staff, continuing education and
staff training, statewide ITS guidance and tools,
protocols for data usage and maintenance, and a
statewide approach for fiber deployment among
other recommendations.
Funding/Programming – Each breakout group
identified the need to bolster TSMO programming
and funding to further integrate and support the
vision of the department. Specifically, the need for
a dedicated funding budget was identified such that
program needs could be managed and addressed
according to priority rather than as opportunities
arise.
The Statewide TSMO Program Recommendations Workshop was held on January 9, 2019 in conjunction
with a Statewide TSMO Roundtable meeting and the draft high-level recommendations were introduced.
The stakeholder committee provided feedback for inclusion and refinement. A second Statewide TSMO
Program Recommendations Workshop was held February 11, 2019 in conjunction with a Statewide TSMO
Roundtable meeting and focused on the refined programmatic recommendations, implementation plan,
and program cycle. In addition, the Statewide TSMO Master Plan Presentation was given on May 15, 2019
and provided a high-level overview of the plan and critical recommendations.
