Project 15.1
Operations Task Force – Year 8
North/West Passage has supported an Operations Task Force for seven years. The intent of the task force is to establish relationships, enhance the scope of operations-oriented projects, support further implementation of project findings, and increase interaction among the states outside of major events. This project continued to support the task force for another year (September 2020 - September 2021). Tasks include coordinating and facilitating operations-oriented, maintenance operations, and Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSMO) related topics for discussion during task force webinars.
