This report, produced as the first installment in the FHWA Asset Management Financial Report Series, provides an overview of financial planning in the context of TAM. The report makes a case for financial planning and covers best practices for developing a financial plan capable of cost effectively addressing agency needs and risks.

This video provides a first-year progress report on Minnesota's DOT WIG program; a program that prioritizes public fees and taxes to be used for maximum effect and value. It also provides insight on the four project teams and the four disciplines of execution of the WIG program.

This presentation from the January 2015 Lean Forum includes a detailed presentation on Lean of Transport Canada and a brief section on change of management at the Colorado DOT.

Develop guidance for how DOTs and other transportation agencies can enhance their asset-management capabilities through effective adoption of GIS technologies and encourage more extensive adoption of GIS technologies by conducting pilot demonstrations and workshops on implementation of GIS-based asset management.

Determine how to align asset-specific service-level measures with an agency’s system performance targets and allocate resources optimally across asset classes to improve performance.

The objective of this research is to develop selected key environmental performance measures that can be integrated into a state DOT’s performance management program. Each performance measure should (1) be meaningful at a state level, (2) enable national comparisons, (3) be implementable in the near-term, and (4) contribute to informing investment decisions. Performance areas including but not limited to (1) air, (2) water, (3) materials, (4) recycling, (5) energy, (6) greenhouse gases, (7) biodiversity, and (8) habitat may be considered. Environmental performance measures to be evaluated should not include social and economic impacts, environmental justice, or cultural resources. This research will not involve a national comparative analysis of state DOT performance.

Travel times are highly variable due to rapidly changing conditions along a segment or corridor. Conditions frequently change due to seasonal fluctuations in demand, road construction, incidents, special events, weather, and active speed enforcement activity. With the emerging probe data sources, it is now possible to develop multi-scale reports that characterize over mobility over varying highway segment lengths and time periods to characterize system mobility. The outcome of this project will be mobility reports that can be used for both internal assessments as well as communication system performance to the public.

The January 2015 TAMNews issue covers practices in State of Good Repair, including overviews of pilot projects with the Utah Transit Authority and Meridian Valley Regional Transit.

The Australian Infrastructure Financial Management Manual (AIFMM), serving as the second edition of the Australian Infrastructure Financial Management Guidelines (AIFMG), provides guidance for the construction of an asset management framework that is compliant with the Australian Accounting Standards.

This report examines Nevada DOT (NDOT)’s state-of-practice for performance measurement, and focuses on federal requirements for traveler information mandated by the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) Section 1201 Real-Time System Management Information Program. The guidance for November 2016 compliance identifies 17 candidate Routes of Significance within the Las Vegas metropolitan area based on usage criteria, and provides a prioritized list of required sensor locations for full coverage of these routes. It is recommended that NDOT explore the use of private probe data to generate travel time information along arterial routes.
