Caltrans is investigating the business practice of transportation asset management (TAM). The department has a particular interest in the current state of the practice for using cross-asset, or multiobjective asset, optimization to prioritize projects and identify resource needs across assets, functions and goals. To aid in this effort, this Preliminary Investigation presents the results of an investigation of the TAMrelated processes of other state departments of transportation (DOTs) and an examination of completed and in-process domestic and international research that addresses the current state of the practice in applying cross-asset optimization in TAM.

The conference is organized into four thematic tracks: pavement and bridges, focus on implementation, transit state of good repair, and beyond pavement and bridges.

Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) identified a need to manage grants to transit agencies taking into account short- and long-term capital needs forecasts. Cambridge Systematics developed the Program Guidance and Grant Evaluation System (PROGGRES). Virginia DRPT and CS applied for an FTA grant to update and extend the system (now called Trans AM), and the PennDOT Bureau of Public Transportation joined the team with similar needs to Virginia DRPT, and some additional requirements.
