Managing State and Local Transportation Assets: A Short Course Offered via Distance

项目名称：	Managing State and Local Transportation Assets: A Short Course Offered via Distance
摘要：	Managing transportation assets in today's environment has become a more complex and critical function than ever before. While confronted with increasing regulatory and financial challenges, state and local agencies attempt to effectively maintain existing facilities while planning for expanded ones. Many try to do this without an effective, long range strategy. Having such a strategy would provide them with guidance to make the difficult decisions to determine where and when to invest public funds in transportation. Making these decisions effectively requires an understanding of the tools and techniques that are available to collect and analyze data, define and monitor progress towards achieving system goals, evaluate alternative investment options, and clearly communicate existing conditions and alternatives. Without access to asset management training, state and local agencies will find it difficult to manage their transportation assets in a strategic and cost-effective manner. State and local transportation professionals responsible for managing structures and facilities need to be skilled at using the available asset management tools as well as understanding how to implement and manage a comprehensive transportation asset management program. Unfortunately, it has become increasingly difficult for mid-level managers to take time away from their jobs or to get funding to travel to a continuing education program
