The 2025 AASHTO Transportation Asset Management (TAM) Peer Exchange explored how effective communication and visualization of asset information can strengthen TAM programs in transportation agencies. As transportation agencies face increasing pressures—from safety goals and efficiency mandates to limited funding and performance requirements—the need to clearly convey asset data to both internal and external stakeholders has never been greater. Good TAM practice requires telling a compelling story with data to justify those decisions and align across the organization.
This year’s peer exchange focused on sharing innovative practices, tools, and communication strategies that improve transparency, support informed choices, and promote trust. Sessions featured presentations from practitioners, followed by interactive discussions to exchange experiences and lessons learned. Topics included the role of graphics and dashboards, data storytelling, integration of non-TAM specific objectives in asset performance-based frameworks, and the communication of trade-offs and priorities.
The event concluded with a collaborative dialogue on how to bring all these elements together—highlighting needs for further research, new tools, and organizational strategies to support the TAM community nationwide.
