Regional Asset Management Regional Asset Management Program Peer Review Regional Project Evaluation Committee January 24, 2014
Presentation Overview 2 Background Scoping Project & Peer Agencies Common Features & Unique Aspects Major Take-Aways Discussion: What goals should PSRC s asset management program strive to achieve? Next Steps
Questions for RPEC 3 1. What asset base(s) should a regional program address first? 2. How can the region overcome data collection and analysis constraints? 3. How can the region assist small jurisdictions with few resources to implement asset management programs? 4. Should regional asset management program be tied to Federal funds selection process? 5. How can the regional program add value at the local and state level? 6. How can we fund a regional program?
PSRC and Asset Management 4 Transportation 2040 Pavement preservation 2014 T2040 Update Pavement preservation Stormwater Local operations/its Transit service costs Federal Funding $45m in 2012 $65m in 2014
Asset Management Trends in Region 5 WSDOT collects data and maintains highway assets within budget constraints Budget pressures underfunding drop in pavement performance & growth in backlog Significant data gaps for local roadway facilities Comprehensive bridge inspection & repair program (federal requirements) Little data available for non-traditional transportation assets Working to address MAP-21 requirements
6 MAP-21 and Asset Management Performance-based planning Pavement & bridge condition measures Establishment of minimum condition targets Monitoring & progress assessment Reporting Enhanced National Highway System Transit asset management
7 Regional Asset Mgmt. Scoping Project Funded by FHWA INVEST grant Scope a value added regional asset management program What do other agencies do? Establish regional goals How can we partner with local agencies in support of a regional program? What tools do we need to carry out vision? Establish a basic program in support of 2018 regional transportation plan development
Peer Regions 8 Metropolitan Transportation Commission, San Francisco, CA Grand Valley Metropolitan Council, Grand Rapids, MI Regional Transportation Commission, Reno, NV SEMCOG, the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments, Detroit, MI
Common Features 9 Links to regional goals Stakeholder buy-in Focus on pavements & condition standards Consistent and comprehensive data gathering Inventory & analysis software used by partner agencies Minimum lifecycle cost & scenario analyses Allocation of funding based on roadway conditions
Unique Aspects General 10 Integration of goals with other efforts complete streets, bus routes etc. Requirements for local participation - Federal funding Oversight Sources of funding (local, state, Federal) Scope of program (Federal-Aid, local) Data collection methods direct or incentivized Software
Unique Aspects Funding 11 Formula allocation (less control) Direct project selection (more control)
Take-Aways 12 Direct funding for program implementation Consistent, and comprehensive data is a critical foundation Compatible data systems is imperative Allocate resources to a mix of preventative maintenance and larger cost projects Bridges are well addressed (federal requirements)
Top 3 Tips 13 1. Start simple with capacity to grow (both breadth and depth) 2. Maintain a unified data structure and system 3. Develop dedicated revenue sources through a systematic process

Next Steps 15 INVEST contract through March 2014 Refine Regional Goals TPB in March 2014 Identify local capabilities to support regional vision Identify software and data tools Broadly define program
