ATKINSREALIS TO CONTINUE KEEPING NORTH CAROLINA MOTORISTS MOVING

Atkinsrealis Group Inc. has been selected by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) to continue supporting the agency's statewide traffic operations and Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSMO) program. The company has provided NCDOT with TSMO services for 14 years.

"The transportation networks that support economic growth and connect communities depend on safe, reliable and efficient operations," said Ian L. Edwards, president and chief executive officer, Atkinsrealis. "As transportation agencies seek to meet growing demands with existing infrastructure, transportation systems management and operations programs are becoming increasingly important to improving mobility, reliability and safety. By bringing together operational expertise, advanced technologies and data-driven decision-making, we are helping clients modernize their networks and deliver lasting benefits for the travelling public."

Under the $35-million (U.S.) three-year contract, Atkinsrealis will staff, operate and maintain the NCDOT's Statewide Transportation Operations Center (STOC) and five regional traffic management centres (TMC). Work includes providing statewide traffic management, incident co-ordination, traveler information, TSMO program support, training, data analytics, systems engineering, traffic engineering and advanced traffic management systems (ATMS) implementation support.

Atkinsrealis has helped manage NCDOT's STOC and TMC operations since 2012. NCDOT received the 2025 TSMO Award for Best Project from the National Operations Center of Excellence for its response to Hurricane Helene l. When the most devastating storm in North Carolina's modern history isolated communities from vital resources in 2024, the TSMO team identified hazardous areas and developed routing guidance for emergency and recovery operations.

"Our team's relationship with NCDOT is built on trust, continuity and a shared commitment to operational excellence," said Byron Bright, president, United States, Atkinsrealis. "Institutional knowledge of NCDOT's systems and proven traffic operations experience combined with our technical capabilities across data analytics, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), training, ATMS support and emergency response is how Atkinsrealis helps keep North Carolina moving every day."

Over three decades, the company has managed and operated TMCs and/or provided TSMO program support in Georgia, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina and Texas.
