What is Transportation System Management (TSM)?
With TSM, no new transit guideway needs to be built. The TSM Alternative emphasizes upgrades in transit service through operational and small physical improvements. It could also include selected road upgrades through intersection improvements, minor widening, and other traffic engineering actions. Examples of features that could be included the TSM alternative: • Expanded routing and availability of MTA buses • Improved quality of transit service with more frequency and traffic signal preemption • Better transit coordination, support facilities and marketing • Improved accessibility with complimentary modes such as bicycles and walking • More parking and bus lanes For the Red Line Study, the TSM is identified as Alternative 2. Alternative 2 would generally provide bus operations along existing roadways in dedicated curb lanes marked for buses and right-turning traffic only. In some places where right-of-way is constrained, the buses would operate in shared lanes with vehicular traffic
