This research identifies the constraints that prevent local government agencies from developing transportation asset management programs.

Alaska DOT & PF seeks to develop their agency's asset management maturity in order to improve the life cycle management and performance of their resources. The TAMP addresses a desire to more effectively use rich collections of data, fill gaps in data and understanding of performance, and change organizational procedures and culture. This TAMP outlines a work plan for the timeframe of 2012-2014, composed of self-contained projects for the advancement of the agency's current practice.

The Washington State DOT's 2018 TAMP documents the state's pavement and bridge assets and its approach to applying Transportation Asset Management (TAM) principles. This TAMP has been prepared to comply with Federal Highway Administration requirements. It describes the inventory and condition of the highways and bridges located on the National Highway System (NHS) in Washington, and it describes how WSDOT is managing these assets using TAM principles.

The TxDOT TAMP guides the state in achieving long-term asset operation and safety for all road-users. As Texas's population and economy continue to grow, TxDOT relies upon the asset inventory, performance measures, plans, and strategies outlined in this document to maintain the high standards of their bridge and pavement assets.

The Oregon TAMP presents a record of Oregon's National Highway System pavement and bridges, which includes their condition, use, performance, and current management plan as well as alternative management and investment practices.

The Final TAMP of the North Carolina DOT (NCDOT) outlines the practices employed at NCDOT to match data-driven analysis to the challenges of lifecycle management, risk management, and financial planning. NCDOT aims to limit long-term costs while extending the overall lifecycle and boost the system-wide performance of the transportation network.

The New York TAMP prioritizes asset preservation and safety through recommended investment strategies. New York State DOT seeks to achieve a State of Good Repair for all pavement and bridge assets. The TAMP highlights the current asset condition and outlines the actions required to fulfill this goal.

The Kansas DOT TAMP documents and organizes the existing asset management practices at the Kansas DOT to optimize investment in highway assets while providing an overview of the improvement actions needed to both increase the asset management maturity of the agency and meet federal requirements. The document establishes Kansas DOT’s objectives for managing the asset base to deliver a defined level of service in the most effective and cost-efficient way and summarizes how Kansas DOT's assets are managed throughout their life cycle. It documents the processes KDOT currently follows to manage assets, along with proposed processes to ensure that progress is made towards compliance with federal asset management regulations.

The objectives of this research for NCHRP 02-25 are the following:
1. To produce a roadmap of effective human capital strategies for state DOTs, identifying critical areas necessary in the future to attract, retain, and develop a sustainable, qualified transportation design, construction, and maintenance workforce;
2. To identify trends, policies, and processes critical for developing and maintaining an adaptive organizational framework that will attract, retain, and develop a qualified workforce beyond 2030; and
3. To prepare an evidence-based guide that transportation industry organizations may use when developing and establishing an effective human capital program for a qualified workforce into 2030 and beyond.
The scope will be limited to the transportation workforce in design, construction, and maintenance.

In this paper, the researchers outline a framework for setting performance targets for transportation reliability using South Carolina's highways. It uses the National Performance Measure Research Data Set and focuses on the percentage of person-miles travelled, estimating volumes and setting targets for future years.

Delaware's long range plan emphasizes the application of innovative tools and new technologies and the development of an enhanced multimodal system of bike, pedestrian, and transit facilities. The plan consists of three parts. The first part provides an overview of the network and the future vision, the second part describes Delaware's strategies for meeting their targets, and the final part explores new and innovative technologies.

This case study documents integration of asset management into the metropolitan planning process of the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency. Also contains summaries of processes in Michigan; Reno, NV; and the greater San Fransisco area.
