In metropolitan areas today, many
different groups play a role in how the transportation system functions.
Coordination among these groups is essential for developing solutions to
regional transportation issues.
Regional Operating Organizations (ROOs)
are partnerships among transportation and public safety agencies that
provide a platform for interagency coordination and joint delivery of
services.
ROOs have had significant impacts on incident and event
management, public safety coordination, daily traffic operations, and
beyond in regions throughout North America. Although these partnerships
take multiple forms, successful ROOs are supported politically,
financially, and organizationally. These partnerships often face
significant challenges because they represent new roles and approaches to
providing services.
ITE, FHWA, and other partners are developing resources
to help address these challenges and support ROOs.
