Provides an agreed and consistent approach for the valuation and depreciation of infrastructure assets including; roads, water supply, sewerage, storm water, parks and recreation, land drainage, property, cultural and heritage assets. The general principles are also applicable to telecommunications and energy assets. While specifically written to New Zealand conditions and legislative requirements the manual does provide a framework and methodology that is applicable worldwide. The guide was originally published in 2006 and updated in 2025.

The aim of this study is to create a manual that will aid airports in establishing and sustaining a procedure for the handover of asset information. This includes the acceptance of new and replacement physical assets vital to major airport stakeholders. Asset information encompasses, but is not limited to, electronic data, blueprints, and operations and maintenance (O&M) details.

The manual should at least cover the following aspects:

• A list of recommended assets and associated data that airports should keep track of;
• The identification and coordination with individuals and entities that use or provide this asset information;
• Best practices for the oversight and documentation of the asset information handover process;
• Case studies showcasing a variety of airport sizes, types, and levels of experience; and
• A narrative aimed at airport executives, discussing how to implement the asset handover process effectively, including the necessary staff support.

This report provides an overview of how state Departments of Transportation (DOTs) are meeting federal requirements for annual reporting on their Transportation Asset Management Plans (TAMPs). The study, conducted in September 2024, analyzes consistency reports from multiple states, examining their approaches to reporting on asset inventory and condition, risks, funding, and narrative explanations. It highlights variability in reporting practices, discusses common elements and best practices, and offers insights into potential improvements for future reporting. The report is useful for state DOT officials, federal highway administrators, and anyone involved in transportation asset management and performance reporting.

The operation of connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) technology is expected to impact various components such as traffic control devices, markings, signals, guardrails, computing systems, and communication infrastructure, both on a permanent and temporary basis. It is crucial for state transportation departments to pinpoint deficiencies in understanding and expertise, and to ready themselves for the hurdles of deploying CAV technologies while ensuring that the current road network continues to function at a satisfactory service level.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a powerful force in transportation departments, particularly for managing and streamlining traffic flow. By using real-time data and predictive analytics, AI solutions can ease congestion, decrease travel times, and enhance safety through early hazard detection. In addition, AI-driven simulations offer a cost-effective method for evaluating and refining transportation networks, reducing the need for extensive physical testing.

Critical Issues in Transportation: 2024 and Beyond calls for reassessing the role of transportation in addressing major societal challenges and the research that informs the choices that society will need to make in 2024 and coming years. This reassessment is driven by large-scale environmental, public health, and socioeconomic forces. The report focuses on five societal goals: 1) Mitigating and responding to climate change, 2) Promoting equity and inclusion, 3) Increasing road safety, 4) Advancing public health, and 5) Building and sustaining a strong, competitive economy. Transportation is essential for achieving all of these societal goals.

The objective of this research is to develop a guide for state DOTs and other transportation planning agencies to understand, predict, plan for, and adapt to the potential impacts of emerging disruptive technologies. In preparing this guide, the research should identify issues, effects, and opportunities at the intersection of disruptive transportation technologies and organizational performance for senior managers at state DOTs and other transportation planning agencies.
