**********This project is being created to convert Pooled Fund Project SPR-2(207) and TPF-5(052) to the “New” Pooled Fund Procedures. All new Funding Commitments will need to be made on the Pooled Fund Website to this new project and all new funds will be transferred to the Lead State/Agency by the partners. The Lead State/Agency will have the responsibility for Receiving, Obligating, Expending, and Balancing the funding for this project. The Transportation Management Center (TMC) Pooled Fund Study (PFS) serves as a forum to identify and address issues that are common among agencies that manage and operate TMCs and provides an opportunity for agencies to collectively take on those key issues and challenges. The TMC PFS also provides an opportunity to facilitate the interaction, sharing of information, and successful practices with a broader audience to advance and improve upon the current state-of-the-practice related to the management, operation, and performance of TMCs. To build off and leverage investments that the TMC PFS has made in previously completed and initiated projects, the members of the TMC PFS have identifies six critical initiatives and a corresponding series of projects that need to be pursued to develop the resources and tools agencies need to address and overcome the challenges they are facing and to improve and advance the current state-of-practice. The vision and critical initiatives identified by the TMC PFS can be accessed in the Study Documents below.

The goal of the TMC PFS is to assemble regional, state, and local transportation management agencies and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to (1) identify human-centered and operational issues; (2) suggest approaches to addressing identified issues; (3) initiate and monitor projects intended to address identified issues; (4) provide guidance and recommendations and disseminate results; (5) provide leadership and coordinate with others with TMC interests; and (6) promote and facilitate technology transfer related to TMC issues nationally.  The TMC PFS has been extended until April 17, 2027 and has a new number TPF-5(487). Funding transferred to FHWA before April 15, 2022 to TPF-5(319) will be used by until the funding is transferred to TPF-5(487).  Agencies can add their commitments for 2022 through 2027 to the TMC PFS Phase II (TPF-5(487)) at any time.

Desired level of contribution is $50,000 per year for each agency. Desired minimum commitment is $25,000. Level of commitment may vary, based on size and type of agency (e.g. county and city). State agencies may join online at the Transportation Pooled Fund Program web site. Other agencies may join by submitting a commitment form available at the TMC PFS web site.
