Charting The Course
• Develop Strategic Priorities
• Ensure organizational alignment
• Focus on strategic priorities even in
resource constrained environments
• Anticipate the systems and
technology that will need to be in
place to support strategic priorities
• Phase the implementation if
appropriate

Charting The Course – Our Project
• Technology, particularly transportation technology (ITS) has been a strategic focus of our agency• Maintained focus, even in resource constrained
environment
• Strategic planning started in 2009, refreshed in 2012 due to staff turnover and world events (Superstorm Sandy)
• An enterprise approach to ITS is advantageous, which required organizational alignment
• Phased approach, started with transportation management
11/15/2016 3
Organizational Readiness
• Leadership Alignment• Is their the right sponsorship?
• Technology• Are all the systems in place and
is data available?• Projects
• Have all necessary projects been completed?
• Business/People • Have all stakeholders and potential areas of resistance
been identified?
• Operational Readiness and Employee Awareness• Are all stakeholders ready to own the new process and
are employees educated about the change?

Unique Challenges
• Different than most DOTs:
o Independent operations across many facilities and modes of transportation
o The PA only operates “links and nodes”, making collaboration with regional partners critical

Monitor and Control
• Manage Scope, Schedule & Risk• Established Phase I & Phase II
AOC functions
• Manage Costs• Utilized existing space• Developed staffing model and
costs for budgeting
• Manage stakeholders and project team• Moving towards implementation,
broke up into program of projects
11/15/2016 34
Project Closing and Implementation
Implementation:
•ConOps report issued
•Meet with internal and external stakeholders to discuss and come to a consensus on changes in operating procedures
•Develop standard operating procedures (SOP)
11/15/2016 35
AOC Launch
11/15/2016 36
Validation
•Unlike traditional projects that end when something is produced or built, the AOC is not a 24/7 operating unit.
•Therefore we did an assessment of the AOC after one, six and 12 months.
•Focused on how the operation was unfolding compared to what was planned.
•Looked for opportunities for improvement, and prioritized them.
11/15/2016 37
Validation - Feed Back
Internal
• Effective communications between AOC and facility staff
• Clear culture change
• Still defining some functions/roles, at various levels of maturity across the different operating departments
External
• Effective, and increasing communications between AOC and other agency staff
• SOPs more clear now that there is a single point of contact
• Continued support for the success of the AOC program
11/15/2016 38
Validation - Data
