Abstract:

This Research-on-Call (ROC) task was initiated by the Ohio’s Research Initiative for Locals (ORIL) program to obtain information on the current state-of-practice for transportation asset management by local public agencies (LPAs) in Ohio. An online survey was conducted in this task to collect information from Ohio LPAs regarding their asset management practices as they relate to the tools and processes currently used to manage transportation assets; the types of asset data recorded in their asset management inventories; methods used for collecting, storing, and analyzing the transportation asset data; whether or not the LPAs use outside contractors to collect and/or process the asset data as well as the costs associated for doing so; and how LPAs use the asset management inventory data and analysis results. The research team received 69 responses to the survey. Widely varying practices were reported by LPAs for managing their transportation assets. Some LPAs reported using specialized software and ArcGIS-enabled systems to aid them in storing and analyzing their asset data. Other LPAs collect and store their asset data in Microsoft Excel spreadsheets or Microsoft Access databases and use basic functions to analyze the data. Some LPAs have no formal processes or systems in place for storing or managing their data. The majority of respondents reported that their agencies use asset inventory data and analysis results for performance evaluation and monitoring, fiscal planning, and project prioritization. About half or fewer respondents indicated that their agency uses the data and results for resource allocation; auditing, reporting, and communication; or for policy formulation. Follow-up emails were sent to selected respondents to solicit details about the systems or software used by their agencies. The features of these systems and other commercially available software were documented for the benefit of LPAs that are considering the adoption of such a system.
