Managing transportation networks, including agency

management, program development, and project

delivery, is extremely complex and fraught with

uncertainty. Administrators, planners, and engineers

coordinate a multitude of organizational and

technical resources to manage transportation

network performance. While most transportation

agency personnel would say that they inherently

identify and manage risk in their day-to-day activities,

a recent study found that only 13 departments

of transportation (DOT) have formal enterprise risk

management programs and even fewer have a

comprehensive approach to risk management

at the corporate, program, and project levels.
