This report documents best practices and emerging issues in transportation asset management as presented at the 13th National Conference on Transportation Asset Management. Topic areas included strategic planning, supporting TAM operations, and the future of TAM.

This 2022 California TAMP is a Draft for Public Comment. The California TAMP describes the vision for how good asset management will help to deliver broad transportation goals and fundamental objectives supported by information on current asset conditions, the desired conditions in the future, and the likely conditions given future funding scenarios.The TAMP is also a key requirement of California law and of Federal regulations. California law (Senate Bill 486) requires Caltrans to develop an asset management plan for the State Highway System, as determined by the California Transportation Commission. Federal regulations (23 CFR 515) require an asset management plan for pavements and bridges on the National Highway System, including those owned by Caltrans and other federal, state and local agencies. This document is intended to meet both sets of requirements.

As more systems go online and more workers shift to remote work, cybersecurity issues only continue to rise in risk and intensity. This research report identifies and tracks such trends. Findings cover teleworking and remote workers, contactless customer service, real-time information updating, transit-on-demand services and platforms, and cyber resilience within transit agencies.

NCHRP Research Report 985 presents a flexible process framework for fully integrating the performance, asset, and risk management across an agency. The process outlined in the report may be uniquely adapted to each agency's current and future needs. It includes five key areas for management integration: approach to integration, data and software needs, personnel and skills, policy and agency structure, and resource requirements.

TRB's annual report explores the accomplishments and leadership presented across their six principle goals: information exchange, research, advise and inform policy, collaboration. workforce development, and communication.

Complete risk management includes a number of steps from identifying risks to mitigating, monitoring, and documenting them. This research report focuses on safety risk assessment for transit agencies. Through a literature review, a survey of transit agencies, and detailed case studies from five different agencies, this report presents the best-practices in safety risk analysis.

This book applies to a technical methodology used to manage assets and analyze risks to Russia's railway system.

The objective of this synthesis is to document DOT collaboration with MPOs relative to target setting, investment decisions, and performance monitoring of pavement and bridge assets for performance-based planning and programming. The synthesis will focus on DOT practices to initiate and facilitate collaboration with MPOs.

This updated version to the Highway Safety Manual User Guide aids safety analysts as they navigate and apply the Highway Safety Manual.

This resource provides an overview of asset management, data requirements, leading asset management practices in utilities, and a guide to asset management definitions. Several manuals are also available: M28 Rehabilitation of Water Mains; M32 Computer Modeling of Water Distribution Systems; and M77 Condition Assessment of Water Mains.

North Carolina has published their 2022 TAMP update. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT, The Department) has long embraced data driven asset management practices. These practices were first compiled into a single asset management document in 2014. The TAMP is a strategic framework for considering the full life cycle cost and performance of transportation infrastructure. Long-term cost is minimized, and overall life and system-wide performance is maximized. The TAMP documents considerations for preserving the entire network of bridge and pavement assets.

As the importance of an integrated transportation system continues to evolve and grow, U.S. transportation agencies are identifying traffic signals as critical elements in asset management and long-range planning. Current research continues to suggest that transportation agencies can benefit from including traffic signals in their asset management planning and integrating asset management practices for traffic signal assets. This primer provides information for applying Transportation Asset Management (TAM) principles to traffic signals in accordance with the Transportation Asset Management Plan (TAMP) requirements.
