I would recommend this program to people looking to explore the possibility of what TSMO programs can offer their agencies, through networking with like minded transportation professionals, study of the latest TSMO practices and principles, and lectures from industry leaders.
The Operations Academy will prove to be an invaluable asset to anybody wanting to pursue, or advance, in the transportation industry.
I would definitely recommend this to my peers! It was a great learning experience with things I can implement into my every day work.
It’s not about moving traffic, it is about good government.
The coursework is very relevant to my role as a TSMO Engineer. However, the biggest benefit of the class is gaining a new network for professionals.
The Operations Academy provides a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of TSMO, learning from those who have been successful in implementing programs in their State and from those who are just getting started. The virtual, hands-on, onsite, and real-world projects are just a few of the components that make this program such a success. I recommend the program to anyone in the TSMO or related fields; it will be time well spent.
The Operations Academy is a great opportunity to connect with your peers about common issues we all face. It’s wonderful to hear about all the opportunities for improvement for my organization for continuous growth.
During the Operations Academy, I learned how to sell the story of TSMO and to properly communicate the importance and benefits of addressing non-recurring congestion. Returning to my agency, I can work toward replacing capital construction with technology solutions to address these issues and provide justification for progressive options over traditional methods.
I highly recommend this program to everybody working in the field of transportation operations. Not only did I learn about everything TSMO, I also learned a lot about myself, my communication style, to identify the communication styles of others, how to present better and more effective, and I was also able to build great relationships with other TSMO leaders around the country. I am sure I, my agency, and the citizens of my State, will benefit from me attending this program.
I would recommend this class for others, it helped open my eyes to the bigger picture and know that I’m not alone in the problems we are facing. There are others out there that can help, no need to face it alone.
