This chapter examines two characteristics of network and facility performance‐road congestion and travel time reliability‐that are often the focus of management and operations (M&O) strategies. It focuses on planning for operations and organizing for transportation systems management and operations (TSM&O) in the context of agency capabilities. The chapter highlights how existing relationships can be strengthened, new ones developed, and how opportunities for greater coordination and collaboration can be exploited. It emphasizes the important role that both planners and operators can play in building stronger connections and the benefits of these relationships. The chapter discusses emerging technologies‐autonomous vehicles and connected vehicles‐that are likely to have significant impacts on transportation system management and operations. The ability to bring a multi‐agency operations perspective to the planning table should enhance the decision‐making process and result in increased system performance as, for example, when incidents get cleared in a timely and effective manner.
