Summary:

As transportation agencies deal with the challenges of aging infrastructure, decades of deferred maintenance, and the need to remain economically competitive, building infrastructure resilience, durability, and asset management best practices into long-term plans is increasingly important. The risks and hazards facing transportation agencies in the United States vary by region, mode, and physical location. This project was designed to identify unique challenges being faced by transportation agencies in the Northeast region, as well as map their current processes for long-term capital planning. The goal is to develop a set of regional best practices for transportation agencies incorporating resilience, durability, and asset management into their long-term capital plans.
