“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, AtkinsRéalis. “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 traveling public.”
Under the US $35 million three-year contract, AtkinsRéalis will staff, operate and maintain the NCDOT’s Statewide Transportation Operations Center (STOC) and five (5) regional Traffic Management Centers (TMC).

AtkinsRéalis 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 historyi 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, US, AtkinsRéalis. “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 AtkinsRéalis helps keep North Carolina moving every day.”
