Summary
New Federal Transit Administration (FTA) requirements, increased stakeholder roles/responsibilities and funding uncertainties are just a few of the drivers for improving asset management within transit agencies. Improving an agency’s processes and decision-making tools will facilitate better management of assets throughout their lifecycles. Transit agencies may realize improved customer service, communications, and productivity; optimized resource allocation; and reduced costs.
