Transportation Asset Management 2-Part Webinar Series

Course Overview

The large inventory of aging roadways and bridges, the dramatic fluctuations in construction costs, the retirement of experienced transportation workers, and the increased competition for available funding have amplified the challenges transportation agencies face as they manage their highway systems. Over the last decade, several state highway agencies have established Transportation Asset Management (TAM) programs to help document asset conditions, allocate funding, and determine the most effective use of available funds. TAM programs provide the processes and tools necessary to help transportation leaders make informed project decisions that can improve the overall operational efficiency of the organization. This NHI course covers the basic tenets of an asset management program, how it is useful, and looks at pavement preservation strategies.

⭐ This is a hands-on, highly-interactive training!⭐ We will utilize polling and GoToWebinar chat for various activities throughout the series.
