Course Overview:

This 3-part webinar series provides a comprehensive overview of the processes, strategies, and responsibilities involved in developing and implementing Transportation Management Plans (TMPs). Using guidance established under the Work Zone Safety and Mobility Rule and best practices gathered from agencies across the country, this series walks participants through TMP basics, coordination practices, work zone impact assessments, TMP strategy selection, and the approval and implementation process.

Participants will learn how TMPs improve safety, mobility, construction efficiency, communication with the public, and overall project success. The series also emphasizes the TMP as a living document that must evolve as conditions change throughout project development and construction.

Florida LTAP Recorded Webinar
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is dedicated to enhancing the safety of work zone workers through vigilant monitoring, continuous improvement, and proactive advancements. In partnership with FHWA, the University of South Florida (USF) is now offering a selection of free work zone training courses.

Target Audience

This webinar series is intended for local, state, and federal transportation agency staff; planners, designers, traffic and safety engineers; construction inspection staff and field personnel; and project managers, decision-makers, and others responsible for work zone planning, performance, or coordination.

Part 2 of 3 – TMP Coordination and Work Zone Impact Assessment

This session focuses on the coordination and analysis needed to develop an effective TMP. Participants will identify key internal and external stakeholders, discuss roles and responsibilities across planning, design, and construction, and examine how agencies assess expected work zone impacts. Topics include safety, mobility, business access, pedestrian considerations, transit, emergency response, and other project-specific impacts that may require mitigation strategies.

Part 3 of 3 – TMP Strategies, Approval, Implementation, and Monitor

This session reviews the strategies used to manage anticipated work zone impacts and the process for moving a TMP from development to implementation. Participants will explore temporary traffic control, transportation operations, and public information/outreach strategies, along with TMP review, approval, pre-construction coordination, field implementation, inspection, monitoring, revisions, and post-project evaluation. The session will also reinforce how lessons learned can improve future work zone performance.
