The Southern Nevada Traffic Management Center (TMC) is the hub of traffic communications for the Southern Nevada region. It houses four distinct agencies—the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT), the Nevada Highway Patrol (NHP), the Nevada Department of Public Safety (DPS-NHP dispatch), and FAST (a division of the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada)— with each overseeing a different part of freeway and arterial operations but relying on similar kinds of information. Although housed in the same facility and working in related operations, these agencies did not have a collective platform for real-time data sharing. As a result, traffic managers did not always have access to valuable information, which impacted their ability to respond to incidents. To mitigate this dilemma and improve response, the agencies launched an experimental pilot in 2017.
