Joint TMC Scanning Tour - Austin, TX, San Antonio, TX, Miami, FL, Gaithersburg, MD, Las Vegas, NV - September 2006
Participating Agencies: The following DOTs: Hawaii; City of Honolulu; Florida; Texas; Nevada; Maryland
The Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT) had requested a Scanning Tour to visit five Joint Traffic Management Centers (JTMC). HDOT had made many advances towards developing a JTMC since its last scanning tour. There was a commitment by the state of Hawaii, as well as the city and county of Honolulu to develop a JTMC. At the time of the event, HDOT was in the environmental phase of its project. It was also making partnership agreements with various local agencies such as police, fire, and emergency medical services. Most of the members of HDOT’s JTMC Development Committee had never observed a TMC in operation. Therefore, they proposed to visit several TMCs to learn about the potential strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of operating TMCs.
