This factsheet, available from the MinnesotaGO performance dashboard, describes how MnDOT uses state and federal performance measures. The factsheet explains the history, purpose, target setting processes, and other aspects of the state and federal performance measures.

In order to help transportation agencies better understand TPM federal regulations and requirements, USDOT and FHWA have created the video series, "TPM Essentials." The series comprises 18 short clips; each focuses on a specific aspect of federal TPM. The entire series can be found on FHWA's website here or on Youtube here.

"Overview of TPM and HPMS" outlines the key aspects of the relationship between TPM and the Highway Performance System (HPMS). Over the course of this 7.5-minute video, the clip answers the following questions:

• What is TPM?
• What is HPMS?
• How does TPM relate to HPMS?
• How has HPMS data changed under TPM?
• What new data items are required?

This section of the Code of Federal Regulations sets forth requirements for DOTs for creating asset management plans with the goal of improving or maintaining the condition of assets.

The NCHRP 20-24 Task 124 Performance Management Reporting Peer Exchange was held on Tuesday October 16th and Wednesday October 17th, 2018 at the Hall of States in Washington D.C. Representatives from 18 state DOTS, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and the Transportation Research Board (TRB) attended. Participants were subject matter experts in performance management, pavement management and communications. The goal of the Peer Exchange was to help DOTs develop a toolkit and strategies for communicating the difference between state and Federal pavement performance in a consistent narrative. While this Peer Exchange focused on pavement performance, the process can be used as a framework to develop strategies to help states communicate other performance measures. A toolkit and summary are available in addition to the final report.

This publication documents the proceedings of the 70th Highway Geology Symposium held in 2019. Several papers related to geotechnical considerations in asset management are included in the proceedings. Asset management topics include documentation of a TRB technical session, “Geotechnical Asset Management: Implementation of Programs and Advances in Technology,” and several papers: "Implementation and Application of Geotechnical Asset Management in Colorado"; "Geotechnical Asset Management, Collecting, Storing, and Disseminating Geotechnical Data to End-Users"; and "Evidence for the Value of Risk-Based Life-Cycle Management for Geohazards and Geotechnical Assets."

This book hits on all aspects of managing public infrastructure: goal setting, maintenance, condition assessment, and risks and vulnerabilities to systems and how to address them. It also makes recommendations for budgeting and capital planning.

The Puerto Rico Highways and Transportation Authority (PRHTA) TAMP presents Puerto Rico's plan for achieving their bridge and pavement condition targets. Though still facing significant damages from Hurricane Maria and a backlog of repairs, PRHTA strives to improve their asset management processes and move away from their "worst-first" response. This TAMP describes the current condition of Puerto Rico's highway assets and establishes new strategies for asset management.

This asset management report focuses on rail defects and siloed rail track data, bringing all data into a "Concept of Operations" methodology for rail track asset management.

This paper from the 26th World Road Congress details an approach to rural road asset management in Africa. A self-evaluation tool was given to rural road agencies in five countries. They were asked to rate their road asset management performance and to develop an improvement plan. Basic management systems were developed, including pavement condition indices. The socio-economic impact of road maintenance on communities was measured.

The Hawaii DOT TAMP lays a foundation for the effective, systematic, and data-driven management of Hawaii's highway and bridge assets. This TAMP describes the unique geological, environmental, and logistical transportation challenges the Hawaii DOT faces, and highlights the importance of transportation asset management practices and investment strategies as a key factor in addressing them.

This publication recommends practices for communicating transit asset management plans and programs to stakeholders.

As one of the fastest growing states, Utah relies on its long range plan to successfully plan for its future transportation system. This plan results from the collaboration of agencies across the state, including UDOT, regional groups, MPOs, and the Utah Transit Authority. These agencies agree on strategies and policies to reach their common goals.
