Abstract:As practices mature, agencies are taking initiatives to apply the asset management approach to an increasing number of assets. This case study summarizes from the 2019 asset management plans how U.S. transportation departments are expanding efforts beyond pavements and bridges. The 2019 plans include examples of managing culverts, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), signs, signals, buildings, and more. Efforts to manage these assets led to innovations in developing inventories, identifying life cycles, and adopting investment strategies. In addition to bridges and pavements on the National Highway System (NHS), State departments of transportation (DOTs) are encouraged, but not required, to include all other NHS infrastructure assets within the right-of-way corridor and assets on other public roads. Twenty-two of the 52 plans included all State-managed pavements and bridges rather than only those on the NHS. Four State plans included ITS assets, three States included culverts, three States included signs or overhead sign supports, three included signals, and three included buildings. Other assets that were included in at least one TAMP were lighting, sidewalks and ramps, stormwater tunnels, high-mast towers, pump plants, rest areas, weigh-in-motion facilities, pavement markings, and noise walls. These case studies summarize only a few of the examples from the 2019 transportation asset management plans. State TAMPs are available on the FHWA asset management website.
