Transportation Asset Management
Challenge
Asset management requires a strategic approach to allocating scarce resources for the preservation, operation, maintenance, and management of transportation infrastructure.
Solution
Through the systematic use of management processes, engineering and economic analysis, communication strategies, and other tools, transportation agencies can understand the effect of their decisions on the capacity, quality, and future needs of their transportation system. Through effective asset management, agencies can maximize their return on investment, improve system performance, extend the life of critical assets, and increase customer satisfaction.

We understand that pavement or asset management is an integrated set of processes and policies, not just a computerized software package. A successful system requires a detailed understanding of the agency’s needs, existing data, information systems, and decision-making processes. Once these are clearly identified, the ARA staff embarks on a regimented scope of data collection, modeling, and system implementation tasks.
