o Equipment

• Transit Safety

o Fatalities

o Injuries

o Accidents

o System Reliability

What is Transit Asset Management?

Systematic Process for Transit Agencies to:

Count and categorize their assets – Inventory

Assess condition of assets

Use asset condition to rank assets in importance to system and agency

Prioritize transit agency funding to improve or maintain assets identified as the highest priority

Applicability: All fixed-route transit operators in the region and all ferry operators

3

MPO’s Role in Transit Asset Management?

The Final Rule indicates that MPOs should:

integrate the Transit Asset Management plans from transit agencies into their planning process

coordinate with transit providers to implement a performance based planning process that prioritizes investments that meet regional performance targets for State of Good Repair.

MPOs are being asked to assess progress toward region-wide attainment of transit State of Good Repair performance.

Federal Transit Asset Management Rule

• Final Rule took effect October 1, 2016

DATE MILESTONE

January 1, 2017 Transit agencies establish their initial Transit Asset Management Performance Targets

July 1, 2017 Deadline for Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) to establish initial regional Transit Asset Management performance targets

October 1, 2017 State DOTs establish statewide Transit Asset Management performance targets

October 1, 2018 • Transit agencies to complete their Transit Asset ManagementPlans

• MPO to reflect performance measures and targets in all Metropolitan Transportation Plans and TIPs updated after this time.

5

What do Agencies Include in Transit Asset Management?

Four categories of capital assets that must be included:

Rolling Stock

Facilities

Infrastructure

Equipment

Agencies must include all capital assets in each of the categories that the agency owns, operates, or manages.

Only assess condition of assets for which the transit agency has direct capital responsibility.

What is the agency’s financial obligation for replacement or refurbishment of the asset?

6

How Do Agencies Conduct Asset Assessments?

Age-based, “Useful Life Benchmark” used for Rolling Stock and Non-revenue service vehicles under Equipment category

FTA provides “default Useful Life Benchmarks” for vehicles

– Example: 14 years for Bus

Agencies can set their own agency-specific Useful Life Benchmark for vehicles based on operating conditions

– Most agencies have bus useful life benchmark of 14.

– Some agencies have bus useful life benchmark of 15 or 16 years.

Condition Assessment for Facilities and Construction or Maintenance Equipment

5-point scale (5.0 = Excellent; 1.0= Poor)

Transit Asset ManagementPerformance Measures

Asset Category Examples of Assets Covered Performance Measures

Rolling Stock • Rail vehicles, • Buses, • Ferries, • Other passenger vehicles (vans, etc.)

Percent of those vehicles that have either met or exceeded their “useful life benchmark” (ULB). ULB is often expressed in a number of years.

Facilities • Passenger facilities like a rail station;• Parking facilities; and • Support facilities (e.g., transit base)

The percentage of facilities within an asset class, rated below an “Adequate” condition (e.g., a condition 3 on the Transit Economic Requirements Model [TERM] scale).

Infrastructure • Fixed Guideway, • Signal systems, • Power, and• Structures (bridges and tunnels)

The percentage of track segments with performance restrictions.

Equipment • Non-revenue service vehicles such as tow trucks;

• Construction or maintenance equipment

Percent of non-revenue service vehicles that have either met or exceeded their “useful life benchmark” (ULB). Percent of construction and maintenance facilities rated below “Adequate” condition.

Transit Asset Management Setting Performance Targets

Performance targets should be based on realistic expectations, including

– Use of most recent data available

– Incorporate transit provider financial resources from all sources during planning period

Performance targets will change year-to-year based upon

– Aging of fleet and changing facility conditions

– Funding replacements or refurbishment of capital assets

9

Performance Targets

Regional Targets are informed by the agency transit asset management planning and inventories

– Regional Targets are NOT the same a agency-specific targets

Weighted average of all agencies with assets in a particular asset class

Coordinated Plan: Prioritized Strategies & Performance

Through Plan Update we will seek the answers to :

• How should needs, gaps and duplications be prioritized?

• Which strategies are higher priority than others?

• How can we measure performance of a program/project to tell if it is succeeding or failing?

• How should special needs transportation funding from federal and state sources be prioritized though 2022?
