What approaches has your agency considered when developing your TMS? TRB will host a webinar on Tuesday, September 8, 2020 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM Eastern that will identify how to develop a clear and compelling vision as the first step in moving toward the next generation of a TMS. This vision helps identify desired future state and capabilities of the TMS. A clear vision can assist in focusing operations, scenarios, and use cases to establish priorities and ensure wise investments. Presenters will discuss how an effective vision can help agencies manage, maintain, and modify their TMSs in the future to meet evolving needs and technologies.

This webinar was organized by the TRB Standing Committee on Freeway Operations.

Some registrants will need to pay $95 to attend this webinar. Sign into MyTRB.org to view registration information.
