The results of the 2019 survey of state public transportation funding provide an informative snapshot of the importance, maintenance, and growth of public transportation in the US. In this survey, it was found that 27 states plus D.C. increased their funding for FY 2019, while only 10 showed a decline, and 14 showed no change.

This publication documents the proceedings of a National Operations Center of Excellence (NOCoE) peer exchange. The goal of the exchange was to identify ways that agencies can improve their integration of systems management and operations with asset management.

This report gathers and presents information from airports across the country on their Airport Emergency Plans (AEPs). These plans and the related practices help to define the roles of different stakeholders during emergencies, identify potential threats to the airport, and establish protocols for communication in the event of an emergency. In this report, case studies from seven airports are presented highlighting their successful practices and lessons learned. The airports are: Charlotte Douglas International Airport, George Bush Intercontinental Airport, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, McCarran International Airport, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Boulder City Municipal Airport, and Centennial Airport.

This research report presents an assessment of forces that are shaping transportation planning practice and the transportation planning workforce.

As the fourth case study in the transportation asset management plans series, this study identifies good practices around risk management adopted by ten different state DOTs. Washington State (WSDOT), California, Kansas, South Dakota, Louisiana, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Texas, Colorado, and Michigan all display insightful practices related to risk management. From WSDOT's incorporation of risk management into nearly every element of their TAMP to Caltrans' partnerships with other agencies to reduce risk, this set of case studies takes a deep dive into standout practices that all state agencies could consider adopting.

This study proposes a method for integrating the impacts of climate change and extreme weather events into transportation asset management. It proposes proxy indicators for Iowa that can be adapted for other Midwest states and identifies methods for using those indicators in vulnerability assessments.

This paper uses data envelopment analysis to establish benchmarks for different investment scenarios for highways, bridge, and traffic signage assets.

Following Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria, researchers studied the hurricanes' impacts on supply chains. This article explores the key lessons learned from each affected area and how to mitigate risk in the future.

Guidance is provided on formal justification of customer levels of service from bridges, optimum maintenance and renewals interventions at the bridge level and at network level, and identifying, evaluating and reporting on bridge risk. This Guideline also promotes the concept that formal measurement of asset management performance is beneficial.
