This paper briefly examines some of the concepts around optimization and cross-asset allocations or tradeoffs. As transportation organizations refine their management processes many are increasingly looking to cross-asset tradeoffs and optimization as the next generation of innovation to improve their transparency, credibility, and decision-making. The information contained in this discussion paper was prepared at the request of the Transportation Asset Management Expert Task Group (TAM ETG).

The transportation planning process is evolving to include greater prominence for asset management in long-range plans and short-term transportation programs. This paper examines some of the challenges and opportunities surrounding the incorporation of asset management into key transportation documents such as state and MPO long-range plans and transportation improvement programs. The information contained in this briefing paper was prepared at the request of the Transportation Asset Management Expert Task Group (TAM ETG).

As U.S. transportation agencies undertake their first-generation asset management plans, they will need to anticipate how those plans will be integrated into the complex decision-making environment for managing transportation infrastructure. The era of asset management is likely to lead state transportation agencies, MPOs, and local governments into a closer partnership. Similarly, within transportation agencies the traditional silos of planning, design, construction, maintenance, and information will see the need for closer coordination. Agencies that expand their asset management approach are likely to use common data, information, and communication channels as the platform for linking the many partners needed for asset management success.

First and foremost, this long range plan seeks to provide transparency and accountability to New Mexico's transportation operations. It meets the federal requirements set by MAP-21, and it outlines strategies, performance measures, and funding distributions established to meet each of its five goals. The other four goals are safety, asset preservation and maintenance, multimodal access, and the protection of New Mexico's culture, environment, history and quality of life.
