Program Management
Statewide Programs Management Section
The Statewide Programs Management Section supports the Region Project Teams in delivering programs that
implement innovative concepts intended to improve performance and increase sustainability of TDOT's transportation
system. The development of statewide programs is a series of investment decisions established through a collaborative
and comprehensive framework of data provided by the Asset Management Division as part of a matrix organization. The
statewide programs are then carried out by each Region. The Statewide Programs Management Section tracks the
delivery of programs and those projects within each program to ensure performance metrics are being met. This Section
works with the technical disciplines to ensure these programs will preserve transportation assets, maximize service life
of transportation infrastructure, and/or implement statewide technology advancements.
Project Managers lead Project Teams within a matrix organizational structure. Successful management of a program
includes additional complexities associated with budgeting for the needs of each project. The Statewide Programs
Management Section must use a risk based, data driven process, to manage the needs of a program comprised of
projects that are designed to preserve transportation assets, maximize service life of transportation infrastructure,
and/or implement statewide technology advancements. The Statewide Programs Management Section has regular
interaction with external stakeholders including contractors, governmental agencies as well as internal stakeholders
from various divisions within TDOT. This section also serves as the department's interface with industry partners. The
Statewide Programs Management Section consists of Legislative Program Management, State Industrial Access (SIA)
Program Management, Local Agency Program Management, Bridge/Ancillary Structures/Rockfall Mitigation Program
Management, Resurfacing Program Management, Safety Program Management, and Traffic Technology Program
Management at the Statewide level.
The Statewide Programs Management Section supports the procurement of professional service contracts in teaming
with private businesses to deliver projects and implement innovative technologies for ensuring the safety and reliability
of TDOT’s transportation system. Project Managers serve on selection committees for professional engineering services
as part of the Brooks Act. This Section supports the consultant evaluation process by evaluating the work performance
of professional services related to schedule, management, quality, and constructability. Documentation and effective
monitoring are critical for establishing public confidence in the process by which contractual services are procured
