State of Good Repair Performance Measures: Assessing Asset Condition, Age, and Performance Data
项目名称: State of Good Repair Performance Measures: Assessing Asset Condition, Age, and Performance Data
摘要: Public transportation plays a vital role in providing mobility and accessibility while supporting the growth and development of communities across the country. It also provides transportation alternatives and enhances the quality of life of citizens. To maintain an efficient public transportation system, there is a need to keep the existing infrastructure in proper conditions. However, there is growing concern that a significant portion of the nation’s public transportation assets are in need of capital reinvestment to maintain these infrastructures in working conditions. This concern is not just for public transportation assets, but also for many other transportation infrastructures such as highways, bridges, and transportation facilities. It is important that transit agencies have a good handle on the condition of their assets and use this information to prioritize capital investments. Having an asset management system can also help agencies evaluate the request for funding based on key measures like age, condition, and costs. Further, transit agencies need to identify and prioritize replacement actions to bring existing capital assets to a state of good repair to improve capital and operating efficiencies. Therefore, there is a need for a software tool that can help transit agencies collect, store, organize, query, and report various types of information of their capital assets. Managing this large amount of data can be a challenge for transit authorities.
