The Climate Adaptation and Resilience Roadmap serves as ODOTs RIP and was accepted by FHWA in August of 2023. The RIP provides a practical guide to operationalizing climate adaptation and resilience. It draws from climate hazard analysis and outlines strategies and implementation actions that will help ODOT institutionalize climate resilience in the ways the agency plans for, invests in, builds, manages, maintains, and supports the multi-modal transportation system.

FHWA Acceptance Letter.

Transportation agencies strive to provide a safe and functional transportation system that delivers the highest possible level of service and enables the efficient movement of people and goods. Unexpected or unplanned events can impact a State DOT’s ability to provide the desired level of service. Managing uncertainties through risk management is an integral part of modern leadership practices and a key component to transportation asset management (TAM). Risk management is also one of the minimum requirements to include in a Transportation Asset Management Plan (TAMP) under 23 U.S.C.119(e).

This report builds on information gathered from developing State Departments of Transportation case studies on identifying and managing financial risks. The report summarizes the common financial risks considered in State DOT TAMPs and how these factors influence the development of TAMP investment strategies. Approaches to managing these risks are provided with examples showing how State DOTs have put these strategies into practice. Keys to success are provided.

This document examines the interface of transportation asset management, transportation performance management, and performance-based planning and programming. All three create synergies that focus upon how short-term performance contributes to long term strategies to achieve national goals for safety, asset management, congestion relief, freight mobility, and resilience.

The scope of this TAMP as required by MAP-21 is limited to National Highway System (NHS) Highways and Bridges. In Maine, this includes the Maine Turnpike.

The 2023 TAM Peer Exchange held on July 9th at the 14th national TRB TAM Conference had a feature topic of "The Art of Project Selection." This slide deck compiles presentations from attendees of the peer exchange that showcase "Elements of Good Prioritization." Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Washington State share parts of their innovative approaches to project prioritization.

This study field-tested two AI-enabled vehicle classification approaches—an inductive loop signature system and a video detection system—to automate commercial truck and broader vehicle volume counts on I‑93 in Concord, New Hampshire. Both technologies achieved over 90% agreement with NHDOT ground‑truth data under free‑flow and congested conditions, though accuracy was affected by occlusion, off‑center vehicles, lane changes, and floating wheels. Additional winter testing is planned to assess performance in severe weather, and results can help state DOTs select cost‑effective tools for automated truck volume and classification data collection.

The report, created by the Transportation Asset Management Expert Task Group (TAM ETG), addresses the concerns of agencies facing a rise in the proportion of their pavement and bridge networks deteriorating to Fair condition. The TAM ETG members identified the factors contributing to this situation and initiated discussions emphasizing the importance of managing this increasing percentage of their networks based on TAM principles. The findings from these discussions form the basis of this document, which aims to: provide State and local transportation agencies with an understanding of why prioritizing investments in assets in Fair condition is more effective than heavily investing in those in Poor condition, and encourage the adoption of more proactive lifecycle planning in investment decisions.

This Transportation Asset Management Plan (TAMP), required by 23 U.S.C. 119(e)(1), outlines the Wisconsin Department of Transportation’s (WisDOT’s) efforts to keep Wisconsin’s portion of the National Highway System (NHS) safe, efficient, resilient and in a state of good repair at minimal practicable cost. The TAMP is the result of applying robust asset management principles over an analysis period extending from 2023 through 2032. It is an operational document that focuses its analysis, options development, programs, delivery mechanisms, and reporting mechanisms on ensuring that strategic objectives are achieved over time.

The percentage of pavements and bridges in Fair condition represents a significant portion of the nation’s inventory. This document summarizes points raised during virtual meetings conducted by the FHWA’s Transportation Asset Management Expert Task Group (TAM ETG) during calendar year 2021. These discussions addressed the importance of managing pavement and bridge assets in Fair condition as a cost-effective strategy for system preservation. This summary highlights several examples provided by the TAM ETG to illustrate the importance of managing assets in Fair condition and suggests the consideration of performance to preserve or extend asset life in accordance with sound lifecycle planning practices to mitigate risk.

Transportation agencies consider trade-offs between investment options to address competing priorities with limited resources. Inadequate funding for all needed transportation improvements forces agencies to make difficult decisions across asset classes. The results of these decisions can have a positive impact on one performance measure but a negative impact on another. In addition to factors such as system preservation, mobility, and safety when making transportation investment decisions, equity is also an important consideration.

FHWA’s Transportation Asset Management Expert Task Group (TAM ETG) recognized the importance of equity as an emerging topic and prepared this document to explore existing initiatives underway in state, local, and regional transportation agencies to better consider equity in asset management decisions. The results indicate that equity considerations are more common in transportation planning activities than in asset management decisions impacting project selection. Therefore, the document presents suggestions for advancing the consideration of equity in asset management investment decisions.

This TAMP describes Oklahoma DOT’s strategic approach to enhancing the movements of people and goods by cost effectively maintaining the state’s transportation network at the best condition levels possible given available resources.
