On September 78, 2004, the Asset Management in Planning and Operations Peer Exchange, sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), was hosted by the Transportation Research Board (TRB) Committee on Statewide Multimodal Transportation Planning, Performance Measurement Committee, and Transportation Asset Management Committee. The peer exchange was organized jointly by representatives of TRB, the American Association of State and Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Standing Committee on Planning, the Standing Committee on Highway, the subcommittee on Asset Management, and the FHWA. Asset Management (AM) in planning and operations was selected as the peer exchange focus because of the expanding role of AM as a comprehensive approach to managing agency resources and transportation systems. In addition, the benefits associated with the application of AM principles underscored AM as an area of critical importance to the transportation field. The goal of the AM peer exchange was to gather additional information about the state of the practice and to identify research needs and potential areas for innovation. Invitations to the peer exchange were extended to transportation organizations from across the country engaged in AM. Participants were selected from state and local transportation agencies to create a mix of organizations with regard to size, jurisdiction, and experience with AM. |
