TSM&O Funding
6
How is TSM&O Funded?
Well….. In Central Office we request $$ for projects that we think needs to be done.
In Districts – there are no TSM&O funds. Everything just part of other budget line items.

TSM&O Collaborations
8
Who Do We Work With on TSM&O??
Well……Planning – Safety Program quite a bit
Construction – Spec committee; APL
Engineering – Review some plans; quite a bit on standards, signals and work zones.
Districts – Especially w/Highway Management.
Locals/MPO’s – As necessary but not that often.
Emergency Responders – Via OEMA/TMC
Summary – Fair amount of collaboration but it just sort of evolved over time.

Where Do We Want To Be In 5 Years??
This is PRECISELY the point:ITS, signals, field devices, software, information dissemination, maintenance needs, number of programs, data applications, EVERYTHING (except staff size) has grown at a break neck pace.
Constant “fire drill” to just do what you have to do. Working in “Real-Time” with not much time left to think about the long term future.

Core functions - just evolved over time;
Collaborations - similarly evolved often times based on personal relationships;
Funding - requested “in real-time” as we need it.
No formal long term plan - wait a minute………….

With our improvement opportunities identified ODOT is required to create a plan to make them strengths.
General Improvement Areas Are:1. Developing a Plan;
2. Making the business case for Operations;
3. Systems and Technology;
4. Organization & Staffing.

The Plan
18
Rather than just address some weaknesses of what we are currently doing we decided to do a LOT more.
We are going to look at everything….

The Plan
19
Internal / external stake holder group being formed to BENCHMARK high performing practitioners of Operations.
C.O., Districts, County Engineers, Cities, MPO’s, etc.
Organizing for Reliability - A State Perspective
The Plan
20
Potential core functions will be identified and existing ones will be vetted.
Organization, staffing, products and functions will be evaluated against the current best in the country.
Organizing for Reliability - A State Perspective
The Plan
21
Every facet of ODOT’s Operations (C.O. and Districts) will be compared and contrasted to the best practitioners in the Country.
The Stakeholder group will make recommendations to ODOT Executive Management that are unconstrained by our current limitations & practices (budget, collaborations, staffing, core functions, T.O.’s, EVERYTHING)
Organizing for Reliability - A State Perspective
The End Game
22
Those recommendations accepted by ODOT Executive Management will be memorialized in Ohio’s first long range TSM&O Plan.
Goal is to be the premier operations program in the country.
Organizing for Reliability - A State Perspective
The End Game
23
We will learn from the best and add it to our own strengths in order to become the new standard of excellence in Operations.
Very exciting – once in a lifetime/career opportunity.
