Abstract:The mission of the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) is to provide a safe and efficient transportation system for the traveling public, while promoting economic development and preserving the environment of New Mexico. To further this mission, NMDOT is committed to integrating a risk-based asset management approach into its business practices, the primary objective being to improve the management of its transportation assets over time, increase transparency in agency decision-making, and promote accountability with New Mexico taxpayers. Of critical importance, the approach will allow the department to transition to policy-driven management strategies that clearly define what assets need to be improved, timeframes for effective improvement, and realistic priorities for the department given available resources. In support of the improvement process, NMDOT conducted a transportation asset management (TAM) gap assessment for highway assets as part of a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) project. The FHWA is assisting 10 state DOTs with this type of assessment. NMDOT’s objectives for the assessment were to compare current practices with state-of-the-art best practices used in other states, identify and prioritize gaps in these practices, and define a set of activities to address the most significant gaps. This report documents the results of the gap assessment and provides guidance for implementation. NMDOT manages a wide range of assets to meet the public’s transportation needs. However, as an initial step, this implementation plan focuses only on NMDOT’s bridges and pavements.
