Transportation Asset Management is a strategic approach to managing transportation infrastructure. It includes a set of principles and practices for building, preserving and operating facilities more cost-effectively and with improved performance, delivering the best value for public tax dollar spent, and enhancing the credibility and accountability of the transportation agency. Fundamental elements of asset management include: 1. Explicit identification of performance goals and measures; 2. Ensuring that programs, projects and services are delivered in the most effective way available; 3. Informed decision-making based on quality information and analytic tools; 4. Monitoring of actual performance and costs, and use of this feedback to improve future decisions; and 5. Identification and evaluation of a wide variety of options for achieving performance goals - spanning multiple assets as well as management, operational, and capital investment approaches. |
