What are Standards? How are they developed?
Standards use collective wisdom to provide a path to a desired outcome with a means to measure success Standards are developed using a consensus based process patterned after the process required by the American National Standards Institute to certify Standards Development Organizations. APTA’s Standards include:
•Standards •Recommended Practices •Guidelines •White Papers
Statistics: APTA’s Standards Program
• Voluntary Consensus Standards Process
• Over 500 Volunteer Participants
• Over 20 Active Standards Development Committees
• Approx. 300 Standards, Recommended Practices and Guidelines Completed, Approved and Posted on APTA’s Web Site – www.apta.com
• Over 80,000 document downloads since September, 2013

What is the APTA SGR Working Group?
SGR/TAM Working Group
• Purpose: To develop documents that can start you on your path to asset management by following concise and straightforward guidance documents, as well as upcoming guidance (i.e. Asset Management Plan Checklist), as well as freely-available resources from FTA, TCRP, and others;
• The work ties together existing resources, fills in gaps, links
research and theory to efforts on the ground and upcoming federal guidance.
