• Abstract:
  The study consists primarily of a detailed review of those states that utilize transportation asset management (TAM) systems that may be applicable for Connecticut’s consideration, and includes as well the identification of a comprehensive pavement life-cycle analysis tool. The primary conclusion of this study is that, across the United States, states are finding the shift to TAM Systems worthwhile and productive as they are steadily seeing the condition of their assets improve and their resource allocation decisions galvanizing around an increasingly coherent vision for their transportation infrastructure. The findings indicate that the Connecticut Department of Transportation (ConnDOT) should consider utilizing five concepts (Clarity, Communication, Champion, Consistency, and Comprehensive), the 5Cs, as a strategy for TAM implementation. The 5Cs provide a focus for ConnDOT’s development of a sustainable TAM program to guide the state’s investment in the acquisition, construction, repair, and preservation of the state’s transportation assets.
