This report presents approaches for monitoring the performance of snow and ice control activities by public agencies and proposes a core set of performance measures that can be customized and used by agencies to meet their snow and ice control objectives.

This report provides an introduction and scalable guidance for state transportation agencies on how to implement risk-based geotechnical asset management into current asset management plans. Volume 1, Research Overview, details the scope, process, and findings of the study.

This synthesis report documents agency practices, challenges, and successes in conducting automated pavement condition surveys. The report also includes three case examples that provide additional information on agency practices for conducting automated pavement surveys.

This report presents a manual that can be used to implement Geotechnical Asset Management (GAM) planning.
There are several downloadable files that accompany Volume 2.

This synthesis report assembles and shares the current state of practice for the implementation of the 1990 ADA regulation in transit systems. It documents examples from six transit systems as they make modifications to support individuals with disabilities and meet the expectations of the legislation. It also mentions future research needs in this area.

This report outlines approaches for monitoring performance for snow and ice control activities, and suggests a set of performance measures that should be used in the monitoring process.

This guidance document is intended to help transit agencies improve their asset management plan, providing examples of good practices and helpful tips.

The Maryland Department of Transportation’s (MDOT) Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP), developed through coordination with MDOT’s Asset Management Working Group, is intended to guide the Asset Management Program for MDOT, its five Transportation Business Units (TBUs) and one authority. MDOT is unique among state department of transportations at it houses all of the State’s transportation agencies in one organization, ensuring the interconnectivity of the State highways, toll facilities, transit, aviation, ports, and motor vehicle and driver services.

This pilot project was to develop a framework for extreme weather event risks focused on flood risk in the Houston area. The project looked at the impact of flooding on three different pavement types and the system disruptions. Proxy indicators were evaluated for use as risk indicators such as floodplains, meteorological data, travel times and patterns from GPS.

This report presents guidance and examples for selection of peer groups to ensure that benchmarking is effectively applied to enhance transportation system performance. The report includes practical guidance on how transportation agencies can undertake benchmarking to improve system performance management practices and highlights applications of the guidance in two specific components of system performance, for active (that is, non-motorized) transportation and environmental impact.
