Download or read book Use of Transportation Asset Management Principles in State Highway Agencies written by Neal R. Hawkins and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2013 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Roadway infrastructure within the United States includes features such as roads, bridges, signs, pavement markings, traffic signals, support commerce and mobility, and is, in essence, a shared financial public resource worthy of being managed at the highest level of efficiency. State departments of transportation (DOTs), local transportation authorities, and federal agencies responsible for the fiscal management of the transportation system have shown a growing interest in advancing the state of practice in managing these critical assets. In addition, the recent congressional passage of Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21 Act) has established an outcome-driven, performance-tracking approach that will hold states and metropolitan planning organizations accountable for improving the conditions and performance of their transportation assets. It will therefore increase agency attentiveness to these vital issues. Transportation Asset Management (AM) is a strategic and systematic process of operating, maintaining, upgrading, and expanding physical assets effectively throughout their life cycle. It focuses on business and engineering practices for resource allocation and utilization, with the objective of better decision making based on quality information and well-defined objectives. Advancing AM capabilities and integrating these capabilities across an organization's business units requires self-assessment, alignment, goal setting, and support. This synthesis of transportation asset management practice among state highway agencies will be a timely resource for agencies to identify their current state of practice and determine where they will direct their AM efforts. This synthesis is based on two separate surveys, with additional input from practitioners. The initial survey requested that participants conduct a self-assessment to characterize their agency's AM practices....The self-assessment results reflect current and future (5-year) business practices and the agencies' institutional, organizational, financial, and IT environments. This survey yielded 18 DOT participant responses (see Appendix D). Based on the results of the initial survey, and input from the Topic Panel, a second survey was designed to capture the state of practice and forward looking expectations (for the next 3 to 5 years) among state DOTs. Forty-three agencies participated in this second survey."--p. 1.

Download or read book Economics in Asset Management written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transportation Asset Management (TAM) is a strategic approach to maximize the benefits from resources used to operate, expand, and preserve the transportation infrastructure. It takes a long-term perspective of infrastructure performance and cost, and considers investment options in a comprehensive and informed way. TAM integrates the various disciplines related to infrastructure management, including planning, engineering, economics, and budgeting. It is systematic and fact based, and therefore dependent on good information and analytical capabilities. Economic analysis plays a critical role in TAM by facilitating tradeoff analysis, in which the net benefits of competing investment options are compared in terms of their "dollars and cents" impact on the public. Information from the analysis feeds back to planners and engineers, allowing them to identify the most beneficial investments.

Book excerpt: This Executive Summary serves as a companion to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Transportation Asset Management Guide - A Focus on Implementation, which takes as a starting point the Transportation Asset Management Guide published by AASHTO in November 2002. All three documents should be read and used together - they are complementary. The AASHTO Transportation Asset Management Guide provides considerable background information about Transportation Asset Management (TAM), the advantages of using TAM, and an approach that agencies can use to identify where they are now and where they should focus their asset management efforts. The Guide - A Focus on Implementation is presented in three key parts. Part 1 is focused on organizing and leading TAM. Part 1 is of most interest to executive management. Part 2 is focused on processes, tools, systems, and data. Part 2 is of most interest to practitioners. The appendices include examples of asset management plans and four in-depth case studies of local and international agencies' experiences in implementing TAM.
