TSMO 101 and inSITE Toolbox — Kentucky Transportation Cabinet

Overview

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) TSMO Program developed and delivered a new TSMO 101 training course to more than 600 practitioners statewide, establishing a safety-first framework for TSMO across all Cabinet disciplines. Using a safe system approach, the program redefines TSMO around the "safe mobility of all people" and introduces the inSITE toolbox, a framework that organizes TSMO strategies by the aspect of travel they manage. By combining interactive training with a simple, memorable organizing structure, KYTC has extended TSMO literacy beyond traffic operations to reach planners, maintenance staff, designers, construction crews, local governments, and MPOs across the commonwealth.

In this case study you will learn: 

  1. How KYTC redefined TSMO around the safe system approach to build a broader, more inclusive program foundation
  2. Why organizing TSMO tools into a simple framework of Space, Information, Time, and Events, can break down silos across a transportation agency
  3. How an interactive training format can extend TSMO literacy beyond traffic operations to the entire transportation community
