Learn how the City of Tampa’s Public Works and Traffic teams are using the Causeway one.network platform to keep drivers informed and work zones safer.

The City of Tampa has taken a major step toward smarter traffic management and safer work zones by deploying the Causeway one.network platform in partnership with Causeway.

📺 And they’ve hit the airwaves on local TV. Watch the reports below.

Traditionally, updates about road or lane closures had to be manually entered, shared via spreadsheets or email, and then relayed to GPS providers such as Waze, Apple Maps and Google Maps. That process introduced delays — and in a city like Tampa, where congestion is a daily concern, every minute counts.

With Causeway one.network, Tampa’s traffic managers and construction crews now have a map‑based, click‑and‑send workflow. Once a lane closure, work zone or maintenance of traffic (MOT) plan is entered, the data flows directly to navigation apps within minutes — meaning drivers get real‑time updates and can adjust their route or timing accordingly.

What this means for the City and its residents:

  • Improved work‑zone safety. By increasing visibility into active and upcoming work zones, both drivers and field crews benefit from enhanced awareness.
  • Reduced disruption. Advance routing information means fewer surprises for motorists — less detour‑driven delay, fewer bottlenecks.
  • Streamlined data and collaboration. All teams — Public Works, Traffic Management, Construction — now operate from a shared map‑based platform. No more siloed spreadsheets or disparate update mechanisms.
  • Better traveller experience. The system works behind the scenes — motorists don’t need to download a new app or sign up for alerts. Everything happens through the tools they already use.

Brandon Campbell, Interim Mobility Director for Tampa, summed it up well:

“Causeway one.network itself is a software platform that helps us to get information to you faster and easier through all of the different mapping platforms that you’re already using on your cell phones.”

And from the FOX 13 report:

“We understand the pain… This is a real‑time tool though for coordinating the impact of those work zones.”

The contract spans three years, giving the City room to refine workflows, align with partners and expand usage across more departments.

At Causeway, we’re excited to empower city agencies like Tampa’s to do more, do it faster and create better journeys for their residents. By bringing work‑zone data, closures, MOT plans and navigation‑feed integration into one platform, cities are gaining the capability to move from reactive to proactive — from managing delays to enabling smoother, safer movement across the road network.

The World Cup is coming to U.S. cities in 2026, and while the world will be watching what happens on the field, what happens on the roads could define the experience for millions.

Cities like Houston, Miami and Los Angeles aren’t just preparing to welcome international visitors — they’re preparing for the most complex road network coordination challenge they’ve ever faced. Lane closures, maintenance work, temporary traffic controls, special events and emergency access needs will all converge within tight windows and dense urban areas.

To meet the moment, cities need more than traffic plans.
They need a smarter way to plan, coordinate and collaborate — across departments, agencies and stakeholders — using real-time, shared data and proven digital tools.

 

The Challenge: Events That Outpace Existing Systems

Hosting a World Cup match isn’t like managing a one-off festival or parade. These are weeks-long operational challenges that affect:

  • State and city DOTs

  • Public Works and Road Maintenance crews

  • Law enforcement and first responders

  • Transit authorities

  • Private contractors and utility providers

All of these groups need access to timely, accurate, and consistent information about road closures, detours, MOT plans and emergency access routes.

But in many cities, this information is buried in emails, spreadsheets, siloed systems or outdated maps.

 

The Solution: A Shared Map, Not a Shared Headache

To truly coordinate at scale, cities need a single source of truth — a real-time, operational map where everyone involved in keeping the city moving can see and interact with the same data.

Causeway one.network provides just that.

It enables cities and states to:

  • View all planned and active work zones and road events in a single, interactive map

  • Coordinate across departments and external contractors in real time

  • Avoid clashes by visually spotting overlapping or conflicting works

  • Plot and share Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) plans and lane closure details

  • Alert agencies to conflicts or missing approvals before work happens

  • Structure road data in WZDx- and CWZ-compatible formats for future readiness

 

Case in Point: How Arlington Built a Smarter Game Plan

In Texas, the City of Arlington offers a proven example of how better collaboration delivers real results. As the home of AT&T Stadium — one of the busiest sports and entertainment venues in the country — Arlington routinely manages large-scale disruptions to its road network.

Since deploying Causeway one.network, Arlington has:

  • Reduced MOT conflicts across events and planned works

  • Streamlined approval and publication of road closures

  • Shared accurate information directly with drivers via navigation apps

  • Improved coordination between Public Works, Police and Communications teams

“We’re not guessing who’s doing what and where — we can see it clearly, adjust quickly, and keep the city moving,” said Keith Brooks, Deputy Director of Public Works and Transportation.

 

Omaha’s Real-Time Game Plan

In Omaha, NE, city agencies worked together to roll out Traffic Management and Live Link ahead of the College World Series.

The result?

  • Real-time road updates were pushed directly to Waze, Google Maps and Apple Maps

  • Field crews could activate and update closures dynamically

  • The city reduced frustration for drivers and improved safety downtown during a high-pressure event

By digitizing coordination and closing the communication loop between departments, Omaha was able to respond faster, manage the network smarter, and keep residents and visitors moving.

 

🧠 Coach’s Corner: 3 Winning Moves for Smarter Planning

1. Get your data house in order
Aggregate road closure, MOT and event data into one shared operational map. You can’t coordinate what you can’t see.

2. Involve everyone — early
Bring in all relevant teams — Public Works, Police, Communications, contractors — during the planning phase, not just during execution.

3. Pressure test your plans
Simulate traffic impacts and stress-test detour routes using historic and planned data — before issues arise.

 

Beyond Coordination — Towards Confidence

When cities centralize their road event data and enable true collaboration, they move from reactive firefighting to proactive control. That means:

✅ Fewer surprises
✅ Faster decision-making
✅ Smoother traffic flow — even on the busiest days

And it doesn’t just benefit operations — it creates a safer, more predictable experience for residents, visitors and emergency services.

Osceola County, FL — Osceola County has launched its new Traffic Management Advisory System (TMAS) to improve driver awareness, protect roadside workers, and enhance public communication. At the heart of the new system is the Causeway one.network platform — the digital tool behind the County’s smarter, safer approach to managing lane closures, construction activity, and real-time traffic disruptions.

The launch of TMAS reflects Osceola’s commitment to innovation and public service, giving both residents and road users access to timely, verified information about roadway impacts. By sharing live updates with popular navigation apps like Waze, Google Maps, and Apple Maps, TMAS helps drivers plan better journeys, avoid delays, and stay safer around active work zones.

“As one of Florida’s fastest-growing counties, our investment in tools like TMAS provides innovation to protect our workers, inform our residents, and keep our roads moving,” said Commissioner Viviana Janer, Chairwoman of the Osceola Board of County Commissioners. “This system puts drivers in charge of their navigation through reliance on timely, trusted information and enhances our ability to serve the public with efficiency and care.”

Osceola’s TMAS leverages multiple integrated modules of the one.network platform to support:

  • Real-time communication of lane closures and traffic impacts
  • Improved coordination between departments, utilities, and contractors
  • Mobile tools for field teams to manage closures and updates on the ground
  • A public-facing map (coming soon) showing roadwork and future projects
  • Custom traffic alerts, so residents can subscribe to updates by street or neighborhood

This new capability will also help the County streamline right-of-way planning and respond more effectively to emergency events. With the upcoming launch of the interactive roadwork map on the Osceola County website, residents will be able to access the same trusted traffic information used by transportation professionals—directly from their devices.

“We’re proud to support Osceola County as they lead the way in delivering smarter mobility, greater transparency, and safer streets for their community,” said Paul Madeira, Chief International Growth Officer at Causeway one.network USA. “TMAS is a great example of how local governments can harness technology to work more efficiently and serve the public better.”

Osceola County joins a growing list of forward-thinking agencies across Florida using Causeway one.network to modernize how work zones are planned, communicated, and coordinated.

Causeway Technologies Partners with Altamonte Springs’ AGīL Innovation Lab through Sponsorship and Collaboration

ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Florida, November 4, 2025 – Causeway Technologies, owner of the Causeway one.network platform used by departments of transportation (DOTs) as well as cities and counties across the U.S., including Altamonte Springs, FL, today announced its formal sponsorship and collaboration with the Altamonte Global Innovation Lab (AGīL).

When the FIFA World Cup™ arrives in North America in 2026, host cities won’t just be managing world-class sporting events — they’ll be managing a once-in-a-generation surge in traffic, disruption and operational pressure on their road networks.

This will be the largest and most complex FIFA World Cup™ in history:

📍 48 teams
📍 16 host cities
📍 An estimated 6.5 million fans attending matches across the U.S., Canada and Mexico
📍 Countless more participating through Fan Fests, viewing parties and citywide activities

For cities like Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, Miami and Atlanta, the scale of movement will be unprecedented. Stadiums will fill. Hotels will overflow. Transit networks and arterial roads will face daily spikes in demand.

And without a new, coordinated approach to event closures, traffic management and avoiding work zone clashes, cities risk falling back on outdated methods — leading to more congestion, more confusion, and increased safety risks.

This isn’t business as usual. And that means the playbook for managing roads can’t be either.

 

🌎 A Global Event with Local Pressure

FIFA World Cup matches bring tens — sometimes hundreds — of thousands of people to a city. But they don’t just come for game day. They come early, stay longer, and move frequently — often in unpredictable ways.

Looking at previous tournaments gives a sense of the scale:

  • 🏟️ Qatar 2022: 1.4 million visitors, 18.2 million public transit rides in 29 days

  • 🏙️ Russia 2018: Over 3 million foreign visitors, 5 million free metro rides in Moscow alone

  • 🏖️ Brazil 2014: 1 million+ incremental foreign visitors spread across 12 cities

Those tournaments had fewer venues, more centralized control and, in some cases, public transit-focused design.

In 2026, U.S. cities must balance event traffic with ongoing construction, daily commuting, tourism and freight movement — all on complex, car-centric networks.

And the problem? Many city and state agencies still rely on fragmented systems, spreadsheets and siloed communication to plan and communicate road disruptions.

As any traffic engineer will tell you — what works for daily operations won’t scale to a World Cup.

This agreement follows Causeway one.network’s successful statewide deployment by the Florida Department of Transportation.

WILMINGTON, Delaware, May 19, 2025 – Causeway one.network, a leading digital work zone and road management platform provider today announced the Utah Department of Transportation has awarded a major, statewide contract to the company to provide its Live Link and Traffic Management software. The company created both solutions to simplify the process of closing traffic lanes while contributing to increased safety and improved efficiency for drivers and work zone crews alike. Through Live Link, a first-of-its-kind solution, authorized operators using an intuitive mobile app can seamlessly manage road and lane closures ensuring vital information is communicated to drivers, right from the work zone.

Paul Madeira, Causeway Technologies, Chief International Growth Officer, expects the deployment to have an immediate impact. “Communicating roadway disruptions quickly and efficiently is the most effective strategy to keeping people safe and maintaining traffic flow,” he said. “Utah DOT’s leadership team clearly understand that, and we’re excited to be part of their commitment to the residents and road users they serve.”

Live Link facilitates near real-time communication of road and lane closures, directly from the work zone to motorists through the most popular navigation apps, including Google Maps, Waze, TomTom, Apple Maps, as well as trucking applications and OEMs. By using Causeway one.network’s Traffic Management and Live Link modules, Utah DOT and its contractors will gain the ability to seamlessly plan, coordinate, and communicate any type of road event and associated traffic management plans, including detours and unplanned incidents, through a single, unified platform. At Causeway, improving Work Zone safety is a company-wide commitment. In 2023 alone, 899 people in the U.S. died and thousands more suffered life changing injuries as the result of work zone crashes.

The Utah DOT agreement represents the second statewide contract for Causeway one.network. The Florida Department of Transportation uses Live Link to power the agency’s Lane Closure Notification System (LCNS), which has posted over 50,000 work zone closures to date.

In the three years since Causeway one.network entered the U.S. market, the company has secured multiple long-term contracts from the East to West Coast. Specializing in work zone and road event management, permitting, and awareness. The company’s Live Link, Plan Share and Traffic Management solutions are in use throughout Florida, Texas, Southern Nevada, and California.

Madeira said, “I believe the widespread adoption of our solutions and our U.S. trajectory is validation of our platform, but also our safety and efficiency promise to American agencies, work zone employees and the driving public.”

WILMINGTON, Delaware, May 6, 2025 – Causeway one.network today announced the appointment of Edward Constancio as Vice President of Sales, USA. In his new role, Constancio will oversee all aspects of Causeway one.network’s sales, customer success, and relationship strategies.

Paul Madeira the company’s Chief International Growth Officer said Constancio’s experience and history of success made him an exciting and natural choice. “Edward has spent more than two decades delivering technology solutions and solving problems for departments of transportation, financial service organizations, and infrastructure construction partners,” he said. “His track record is exemplary and his commitment to customers mirrors ours. We couldn’t be more thrilled to have him join our team.”

Constancio’s arrival comes at crucial moment for Causeway one.network as the company is in a significant growth cycle, expanding operations and sales in the United States. In just three years, Causeway one.network has become a fixture in the work zone and road disruption event marketplace, with numerous statewide, regional, and local software deployments already in place. The company’s Traffic Manager, Live Link and Plan Share application solutions are currently in play from the East Coast to the West, and Constancio sees those deployments as a launch pad for even greater success. “Part of what attracted me to Causeway one.network was the company’s incredible trajectory,” he said. “Yet with all that success, the leadership team remains committed to servicing customers at an incredibly highlevel. In my view, that’s a nexus for opportunity and growth, and I’m really excited to be a part of it.”

Prior to joining Causeway one.network, Constancio Served as VP of Sales at Document Crunch where he developed a scalable software as a service (SaaS) infrastructure and as Vice President of Sales for ConstructConnect, a major construction project data and software company. At Causeway one.network, he plans to expand channel partnerships and provide the sales team with lead opportunities that build sustainable growth.

“Though Causeway one.network is based in the UK, the company understands the American market and clearly, our solutions resonate with US transportation agencies,” Constancio said. “I’m excited to join the team and look forward to working with them to improve work zone safety, streamline the road construction process and accomplish great things for our customers.”

WILMINGTON, Delaware, April 28, 2025 – As the nation focuses on work zone safety this month, Causeway one.network today announced a major milestone in protecting Florida workers and drivers around the state’s road construction sites. Last week the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) in collaboration with Causeway one.network completed its 50,000th lane closure using the state’s Lane Closure Notification System (LCNS), powered by Causeway one.network’s Live Link solution.

Florida DOT was the first agency in the United States to deploy Live Link, which allows authorized users to plan and publish lane and road closure information to America’s major navigation providers, including Waze, Google, and Apple Maps, using an intuitive mobile app right from the work zone. With just a few clicks, workers can notify the public of active work zones, speed limit changes and even announce the presence of workers.

FDOT launched the LCNS as a pilot in August 2022, and following its success, entered into a 3-year deployment agreement in 2023. Since then, the solution has been fully adopted statewide with more than 2,800 FDOT employees, construction engineering and inspection (CEI) teams, and contractors using the Causeway one.network solution in their daily operations. To date, nearly 1,000 users have actively used the system to manage lane closures across more than 12,000 miles of state roads spanning all seven FDOT districts and Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise.

Paul Madeira, Causeway one.network’s Chief International Growth Officer, noted the poignance of reaching such a significant milestone as the nation focuses on work zone safety. “Our company is fully committed to worker and driver safety,” he said. “Our colleagues at FDOT share those values and together, we’ve been able to accomplish something important.” The Florida Transportation Builders’ Association has been an important and enthusiastic advocate for the program, helping drive successful adoption of Live Link across their membership and championing FDOT’s approach to realizing safer work zones and smarter journeys.

“Together, we’ve been able to give crews in work zones a direct and immediate role in their own safety,” said Madeira. Since FDOT’s successful deployment of the Causeway one.network platform, other agencies across the nation have followed suit including the City of Tampa, Hillsborough County, FL, Arlington, TX, the Central Florida Expressway Authority, the Tampa Hillsborough Expressway Authority, Clark County, NV, and many others.
