Summary of Asset Management Guide for Small Providers (Report 0092)


The report summary provides a description of the Asset Management Guide, which presents a framework for transit asset management tailored to small providers and a master template for developing a Transit Asset Management (TAM) Plan to improve the management of transit assets while meeting the intent of Federal requirements. The Guide limits descriptions to assets, practices, and requirements that are directly applicable to small providers; allows for tailoring to address inevitable outliers (e.g., rural agencies that maintain sizable fleets) and incorporate related state-level requirements that may differ among states; and provides a master template for small providers to develop TAM plans and offers example strategies and tips that can be applied to increase efficiency of day-to-day operations and maintenance efforts.
