This presentation from the March 2015 Lean Forum includes detailed presentations from the Tennessee DOT and Texas DOT.

This document provides a comprehensive list of Continuous Improvement tools. It can be used as a quick reference on various CI tools and how to use them.

This report, produced as the first installment in the FHWA Asset Management Financial Report Series, provides an overview of financial planning in the context of TAM. The report makes a case for financial planning and covers best practices for developing a financial plan capable of cost effectively addressing agency needs and risks.

The Texas Transportation Plan (TTP) 2040 records the existing infrastructure in Texas, and demonstrates funding needs for all passenger and freight modes from 2014 to 2040. This is the state’s first performance-based long-range transportation plan, improving off the techniques in the previous Statewide Long-Range Transportation Plan 2035. The plan provides a template to meet unprecedented increase in demands in Texas amid declining revenues.

As part of a national pilot project, Louisiana DOTD was one of three DOTs selected to work closely with the Federal Highway Administration to create a Pilot TAMP to serve as a guide for other states to develop their plans. The Pilot TAMP was completed in 2015 and has led to numerous operational and functional updates and improvements with regards to advancing asset management practices at LADOTD.

This video provides a first-year progress report on Minnesota's DOT WIG program; a program that prioritizes public fees and taxes to be used for maximum effect and value. It also provides insight on the four project teams and the four disciplines of execution of the WIG program.

This presentation from the January 2015 Lean Forum includes a detailed presentation on Lean of Transport Canada and a brief section on change of management at the Colorado DOT.

Develop guidance for how DOTs and other transportation agencies can enhance their asset-management capabilities through effective adoption of GIS technologies and encourage more extensive adoption of GIS technologies by conducting pilot demonstrations and workshops on implementation of GIS-based asset management.

Determine how to align asset-specific service-level measures with an agency’s system performance targets and allocate resources optimally across asset classes to improve performance.

The objective of this research is to develop selected key environmental performance measures that can be integrated into a state DOT’s performance management program. Each performance measure should (1) be meaningful at a state level, (2) enable national comparisons, (3) be implementable in the near-term, and (4) contribute to informing investment decisions. Performance areas including but not limited to (1) air, (2) water, (3) materials, (4) recycling, (5) energy, (6) greenhouse gases, (7) biodiversity, and (8) habitat may be considered. Environmental performance measures to be evaluated should not include social and economic impacts, environmental justice, or cultural resources. This research will not involve a national comparative analysis of state DOT performance.

Travel times are highly variable due to rapidly changing conditions along a segment or corridor. Conditions frequently change due to seasonal fluctuations in demand, road construction, incidents, special events, weather, and active speed enforcement activity. With the emerging probe data sources, it is now possible to develop multi-scale reports that characterize over mobility over varying highway segment lengths and time periods to characterize system mobility. The outcome of this project will be mobility reports that can be used for both internal assessments as well as communication system performance to the public.
