As transit agencies increase their data collection processes, many are starting to use this data to improve their system performance. In this video presentation, the speakers explore a handful of case studies that highlight the benefits of using high quality data, how to share the data across the agency and with the public, and how to convert performance measures into actionable strategies.

This webinar addresses TAM Communications. Good communication both internally and externally is an important ingredient of strong TAM program. The webinar presenters share noteworthy communication techniques and examples including engaging their executive leadership and elected officials.

This webinar addresses Life Cycle Planning in Transportation Asset Management Plans. The webinar will share how agencies are considering life cycle planning in the creation of their TAMPs. This will include discussion of specific life cycle planning activities, how the development of a TAMP influenced greater focus on life cycle planning, and the impact life cycle planning has had within the agency.

This webinar addresses Tradeoffs and Cross Asset Resource Allocation. A good TAM program includes the ability to tradeoff investments in various agency programs (i.e., TAM vs Mobility). It might also include the ability to tradeoff and make cross asset resource allocation decisions (i.e., Pavement vs Bridges vs Other Assets). Many techniques and tools exist to enable these capabilities. Webinar speakers will share the experiences of agencies that have tradeoff and cross-asset resource allocation in their TAM programs.

This webinar addresses TAM Data Governance and Implementation. Speakers described the governance models for their TAM data, the processing of their TAM data, and how the data is used to add value to their agency's decision-making.

This presentation focuses on the training necessary for adequate performance management at State DOTs and the advantages of a stable culture can provide. Ideally, a team works synergistically to produce a product greater than the sum of its part. However, this becomes possible only when the members of the team possess diverse and varied skillsets. The video slides are available here.

While the integration of transportation asset management has grown in recent decades, more transportation agencies are adopting TAM practices following the passage of the MAP-21 legislation. This presentation explores some of the challenges of TAM adoption including system integration and the communication of results.

This webinar addressed organizational frameworks for transportation asset management. Webinar speakers described how different organizational frameworks support alignment of organizational units, systems, and data for transportation asset management. Topics covered included the importance of leadership, recruiting, retention, and staff development. Presentations highlighted strengths and limitations of specific organizational frameworks and lessons learned from implementation.

This presentation is focused on defining and explaining cross-asset decision making. This is the idea that investments are allocated by analyzing the perceived needs of multiple programs and asset classes and are distributed based upon the simultaneous quantified prioritization of utility. It focuses on three types–benefit/cost analysis, multi-criteria decision analysis, and risk/reward-based. The presentation slides are available here.

This presentation focuses on transportation asset management and its likely rise to prominence in the near future. It explains that transportation asset management practices are applicable at all levels of transportation management and can improve efficiency and decision making. The slides are available here.

This webinar will review currently available and recently released transportation asset management tools and resources. Presentations will cover a range of materials available to practitioners including: AASHTO's TAM Gap Analysis tool developed through NCHRP Project 08-90; the GIS and Asset Management Guide developed through NCHRP Project 08-87; AASHTO'S TAM Tools; and applications of asset management and risk management standards including ISO 55000 and J100-10/RAMCAP.

This webinar is designed to highlight the potential to improve DOT asset management practice and operational performance through a focus on data acquisition and collection. Representatives from state DOTs will discuss their agencies' efforts in this area including new technologies for data collection and alternatives to traditional asset data collection. Data acquisition rather than collection can provide insight into noteworthy practices and strategies for success.
