In an age where data-driven decision-making is needed more than ever, understanding where agencies' current data falls short is the first step to using data to support strategic activities. This session demonstrated practical methods for assessing existing data frameworks and recognizing underexplored areas that could lead to better outcomes. We explored innovative data collection techniques to fill these gaps and enrich decision-making processes.

Transportation agencies’ ability to manage their highway systems can be impacted by unexpected and unplanned events, such as revenue disruptions and natural hazards. Managing these uncertainties through risk management is an integral part of modern leadership practices and a key component to Transportation Asset Management (TAM). The FHWA initiated a project to advance the consideration of financial and organizational risks in a Transportation Asset Management Plan (TAMP). Several resources were developed to illustrate strategies for managing these types of risks, including two webinars. This webinar focuses on identifying and managing organizational risks.
Featured presentations and speakers:
“Indiana DOT Case Study: Organizational Approach to Implementing Asset Management & Managing Risk,” Louis Feagans, Indiana DOT
“Minnesota DOT Case Study: Consideration of Risk in Managing Ancillary Assets,” Trisha Stefanski, Minnesota DOT

TAM Webinar 67 featured speakers discussing how pavement and bridge conditions can contribute to system performance areas, such as highway safety, freight mobility, or reliability— based on work completed for FHWA Office of Operations conducted by Iowa State University, Gordon Proctor & Associates, and Starisis Corporation. The webinar also addressed how attributes such as pavement shoulders, pavement friction, or bridge conditions contribute to highway safety, freight movement, noise reduction, and transportation system resilience.
TAM Webinar 66 featured speakers from state DOTs sharing their experiences with adding transportation assets other than pavements and bridges into their TAM programs (culverts, lighting, traffic signals, guardrails, and sign structures are some examples). The end of the webinar features a robust Q&A where speakers fielded questions about their presentations and the process of incorporating a wide variety of assets into their agencies' TAMP and TAM programs more broadly.
