Overview of approaches to asset management in the water industry.

Texas' SLRTP identifies the challenges presented by stakeholders, determines infrastructure and funding needs, examines transportation investment decisions, and describes the ideas and solutions presented by the users of Texas’s transportation systems. This plan will formed the basis for the Texas Transportation Plan 2040.

This Transportation Asset Management Plan was developed for the Adelaide Hills Council in 2009. The Plan is meant to be read in conjunction with existing documents, including the council’s Strategic Management Plan, the Development Plan, and the Long Term Financial Plan. The plan highlights the agency goals and objectives concerning asset management.

Wisconsin's long range plan outlines policies and strategies for achieving a series of different statewide goals. These include maintenance and preservation, safety, economic growth, mobility, transportation efficiencies, quality of life, and security. In addition to these areas, the long range plan covers the state's funding plan and includes an environmental justice analysis. Wisconsin is in the process of updating their long range plan to extend to 2050.

This study funded by the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (AKDOT&PF) examined how best to allocate resources to unstable slopes. The study gathered information on the existing programs for managing unstable slopes, reviewed which programs were more and less successful, and recommended guidelines for a more effective unstable slope management program. Steps for implementing a successful program are included for agencies interested in implementing similar programs.

The Connecticut plan, Connecticut on the Move: Strategic Long-Range Transportation Plan 2009-2035, lays out the State of Connecticut's transportation policy. The plan reflects transportation initiatives passed in Connecticut in the preceding years to 2009. There are five components to the Connecticut action plan: preservation, system modifications, system productivity, economic and environmental impact, and strategic capacity improvements.

The objective of this project was to use the techniques developed in earlier NCHRP 20-24(37) projects to develop comparative statistics on highway safety, factors likely influencing safety experience of states, and strategies used by states with best safety experience. The research entailed recruiting volunteer states to provide data, compiling and analysing the data provided to compute comparative and summary performance statistics, identifying superior performance among the participating states while maintaining the participants' anonymity, and determining Best Practices that contribute to superior performance results. A detailed Best Practice Analysis was conducted for the top performing statesthat were willing to permit their identities to be revealed.
