NATIONAL CALL FOR ACCOUNTABILITY -PERFORMANCE
Congress is considering a performance management systems for transportation
US DOT’s 2012 Budget Proposal provides funding to focus investment on safety, state of good repair, and livability and establish a g p , yperformance-based highway program, etc.
The National Revenue Study Commission also called for accountability
The GAO endorsed performance metrics
AASHTO has proposed a performance measurement process
4
NATIONAL CALL FORSUSTAINABILITY
The concept of sustainability has gained increasing relevance
It applies not only to the natural environment but also to the economic and cultural but a so to t e eco o c a d cu tu aenvironment
The concept of sustainability is more relevantthan ever to the strategic management of transportation resources
5
• Agencies are facing increasing demands to demonstrate accountability and contribute to sustainability
• TAM provides an overarching, rational long-term management approach that addresses both demands
TAM IN AN ERA OF ACCOUNTABILITY, SUSTAINABILITY, and PERFORMANCE
g pp
• Asset Management combines a focus on metrics and long-term system sustainability• By taking a long term view and anticipating future
conditions (sustaining for long-term conditions)• By having short term targets to accomplish the
long term plan and maximize future performance and condition of infrastructure

FHWA REPORT
• ‘Beyond The Short Term’
• Examines these demands in greater detail
• Compares TAM to other Quality Systems
/Transportation Asset Management Accountability
Beyond The Short Term Transportation Asset Management For Long‐Term Sustainability, Accountability and Performance
• Shows the use of TAM to demonstrate accountability & sustainability

US EXAMPLES-SUCCESS IN PERFORMANCE BASED ASSET MANAGEMENT
• DOTs in Utah, North Carolina, Missouri, Oregon and Maryland were examined
• Case studies demonstrate the intertwining of Asset Management and Performance Management for long-term effective, sustainablemanagement of assets
• Also demonstrating transparency and accountability

2025 ChallengesIn just 14 years:
• Population and economic growth
• Increased VMT/congestion
• Freight movements are expected to double
• Truck weight limits?
• Aging infrastructure - Preservation
• Funding shortfalls – fuel tax relationship

Lifeline Routes:
•Incorporating
•Bridges
•Unstable slopes and rock fall
•Pavements
•Culverts
Key Principles for Progress
• Collect data once for use by many– Instead of collecting many times for one use
– TransInfo will have key role
• Location, location, locationLocation, location, location– Lynch-pin for integration (consistency = reliability)
• Start with the basics - Basic inventory– Type, size, location & First Level Condition
• Readiness and capacity built in stages– Work plan
Keenly Aware of Risks to System…
• Lack complete inventory – Culverts
– Unstable slopes
• Lack complete understanding of impacts– Seismic vulnerability of bridges
• Working hard to close the gaps in data
Conclusion
• 千里之行 始於足下
– A journey of a 1000 miles begins with a single step
• ODOT’s Asset Management:– No longer theory– Now implementing
• Actual work processes and procedures – Saving time– Better investments

Asset Management – What is it?
AASHTO Definition:
“Transportation Asset Management is a strategic and systematic process of operating, maintaining, upgrading, and expanding physical assets effectively through their life cycle. It focuses on business and engineering practices for resource allocation and utilization, with the objective of better decision-making based upon quality information and well-defined objectives.”
Why Use Asset Management?
Asset Management can assist transportation agency executives and managers:
• preserve their highway assets;
• realize the greatest value of from their financial resources
• provide essential services that their customers depend on.
Benefits of Asset Management?
• improved performance;
• increased safety• increased safety
• greater value to the traveling public;
• optimal decision making for allocating resources.
Bridge Asset Management Process
Inventory all assets Inspect and appraise the condition of assets Update information frequently Update information frequently Decide what level of service is desired for the assets Use information to make rational decisions regarding how to maintain the assets Establish performance measures to monitor progress
Desired Level of Service
No adverse effect on the safe use of bridges due to their condition.
Performance Measures• Reduce the number of deficient bridges;• Reduce the number of posted bridges;
Two –pronged approach: Improve the condition of deficient assets Prevent assets from becoming deficient
Not a “Worst First” Approach

SummaryOutcome of Asset Management Approach
State bridge inventory is in overall good condition.
SHA has been proactive in inspecting and appraising its bridges and
structures.
SHA has bridge asset management systems in place and uses known SHA has bridge asset management systems in place and uses known
data to identify and prioritize system preservation programs.
SHA has been good stewards of funds provided for system
preservation.
Despite overall good condition, deficient bridges exist and will
continue to arise as the system ages.
Thanks!
