Asset Management

The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities is implementing a comprehensive Transportation Asset Management (TAM) program. TAM is a business model, a decision support system, and a management approach which can be used across an agency to deliver corporate goals and objects. TAM is not just a tool or an end in itself.

Implementing TAM is a process of continuous improvement. TAM is an agency-wide process not an independent specialist activity undertaken only by transportation engineers or practitioners. Its strategic direction and the strategic goals it seeks to deliver are elements or core corporate strategic policy, so the approach to TAM should be policy driven. (AASHTO TAM Guide, A Focus on Implementation, January 2011.)

Highlights

NEWParks Highway Corridor Management Project

February 27, 2012 - The Department has kicked off a corridor management project for the Parks Highway as part of our Transportation Asset Management program.  The first project phase is collection of existing essential data that supports our engineering work and our asset management program.  The project will include the launch of a one-stop web page for access to existing databases of essential data about the corridor including, among many other things, pavement condition, location and condition of material sites, access to geotechnical reports, culvert and sign inventories, location and condition rating of unstable slopes etc.  Over time, the Department plans to create an integrated database available to all that will act as a repository for new data as it is collected and will provide continued access to existing data.

Stay tuned to this location for additional news and details as the project progresses.

If you have any questions about corridor management, please call Project Manager Dave Stanley at 269-6236 or send him an email at dave.stanley@alaska.gov.
