Plan for the San Diego Region provides a roadmap to implement integrated strategies that focus on operations and performance that use existing infrastructure and cost-effective solutions. TSMO strategies identify the institutional, organizational, and technical components that support the entire system. The Plan was developed for the San Diego region by San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), with critical input from California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), County of San Diego, regional transit providers, and local agencies. Historically, transportation agencies across the United States have been organized to deliver capacity-based infrastructure improvements. Today, agencies are shifting their focus from solving congestion problems by expanding capacity to utilizing the existing transportation system more efficiently, managing the system to perform reliably, and utilizing technology to share real-time information with incident responders and the public. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has developed research and guidance resources for transportation agencies, metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), and other transportation organizations to plan for and use TSMO strategies within organizations. TSMO offers integrated strategies to “improve system performance through multimodal, intermodal, and cross- jurisdictional systems, services, and projects that preserve capacity, enhance public safety and security, enhance seamless connections between modes, and improve reliability” (FHWA, 2017)1. The strategies are designed to improve safety and reliability by managing traffic congestion and minimizing any unpredictable delays to the transportation system. TSMO strategies are characterized into three buckets – institutional, operational, and technical. Some examples of TSMO strategies may include redefining agency roles and responsibilities to break down silos between planning and operations (institutional) or sharing data between agencies to track performance measures on a corridor-wide basis (operational). To implement a successful TSMO program, agencies often need to evaluate the institutional, operational, and technical aspects of its day-to-day processes for planning, programming, designing, constructing, and maintaining projects. 1.1 Overview of the 5 Big Moves SANDAG is developing San Diego Forward: The Regional Plan (Regional Plan). This plan introduces a transformative vision for the San Diego region revolving around the 5 Big Moves, which are 5 key mobility strategies that reimagine how people and goods will move around San Diego County. The 5 Big Moves include: ► Complete Corridors
