What is Transportation Asset Management?
Transportation Asset Management is a strategic and
systematic process of operating, maintaining,
upgrading, and expanding physical assets
effectively throughout their lifecycle. It focuses on
business and engineering practices for resource
allocation and utilization, with the objective of better
decision making based upon quality information
and well defined objectives.

TAM Addresses 5 Core Questions
• What is the current state of my assets?
• What are my required levels of service and performance delivery?
• Which assets are critical to sustained performance delivery?
• What are my best investment strategies for operations, maintenance, replacements and improvement?
• What is my best long-term funding strategy?

Evolution of TAM in the US
Pavement Management Systems used in some agencies
Initiation of Pontis BMS effort by FHWA
A few custom bridge management systems in place
Program management approaches used by a few agencies
ISTEA requires six management systems
FHWA creates Office of AM, AASHTO creates subcommittee on AM
Many agencies initiate management system efforts – most with limited success
Interest in AM grows in state DOTs as they face growing needs and limited resources
Performance management growing in importance
TAM systems integrated with ERP implementations
Greater use of AM principles in everyday DOT activities – policy link to decisions
Greater use of pavement and bridge management systems in state DOTs
