TMP Data Sheet
Similar to Caltrans’ process Customized to MDT operations Follows MDT WZSM guidance
TMP Data Sheet
Intended for project design team Guide discussion among preconstruction and
construction staff Help develop Traffic Control Plan and
Special Provisions (TCP and TO) Help develop Public Involvement for
preconstruction and construction Help estimate project costs
