The FDOT began RTMC Operations in 2005 with two locations, one at the District 2 Urban Office and one at the Florida Highway Patrol Jacksonville Dispatch Center. In 2012, FDOT, in partnership with the North Florida TPO and FHP, began the process to build the current, state-of-the-art multi-agency RTMC. This RTMC was the beginning of an ongoing investment in Intelligent Transportation Systems and opened in 2015 as the hub for the TSM&O Program for District Two.
