On November 14, 2023, Lee Smith delivered a presentation at TDOT's 2023 Highway Safety Operations Conference. His presentation covered two key aspects of Tennessee's transportation landscape—the I-24 SMART Corridor and I-24 MOTION projects. This annual conference brings together highway safety stakeholders and operations professionals to collectively address road safety, efficiency, and reliability in Tennessee. The conference's broader mission includes sharing best practices for tackling operational challenges in maintaining road functionality and guiding future planning efforts. This encompasses performance measures, integrated planning/operations, incident management, and the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). Lee Smith's insights from the I-24 SMART Corridor and I-24 MOTION contribute to advancing these objectives and enhancing road safety and efficiency in Tennessee.
