Caltrans Transportation Management Centers (TMCs) are tasked with the management of the statewide transportation system to reduce congestion and provide for the safe movement of people, goods, and information. They must work with neighboring TMCs to ensure the continued efficient operation of that system, and coordinate to manage larger-scale incidents and regional emergencies. This report focuses on coordination in metropolitan areas of California and summarizes the methods utilized for coordination statewide through interviews with operations managers from eight Caltrans TMCs. It identifies the major tools utilized in TMC traffic management, specific examples of TMC coordination, and potential areas for improvement in coordination including methods of sharing collected data between districts. This report provides an overview of TMC coordination within the state of California and is based on interviews with TMC managers from the Southern, Central, and Northern regions. Due to the modest nature of this project not all TMC managers were interviewed, rather a subset from major urban areas of California were queried for information to paint a representative picture of the whole. As such, this report will focus on traffic coordination in metropolitan areas of California. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by California Polytechnic State Univ., San Luis Obispo, Advanced Technology and Labs. and Department of Transportation, Washington, DC.
