A financial plan is a required element of the TAMP. How well the financial plan is integrated with other elements of the TAMP can provide an indication of an agency’s TAM maturity. Financial planning advanced between the 2018 and 2019 TAMPs and more progress is anticipated in the next rounds. Resources have been developed through FHWA and TRB to support financial plans – and more resources are currently under development. This webinar will share some of the advancements in financial planning at transportation agencies and highlight new and upcoming resources to assist agencies in improving their TAM financial plans.

Risk management and building resiliency is of growing importance for transportation agencies and is an integral part of an agency’s TAMP. The 2018 and 2019 TAMPs were required to be risk-based and include a risk register. In many of the initial TAMPs, agencies were early in their understanding of risk management in the context of transportation asset management (TAM). Agencies will have the opportunity to improve their risk management and resiliency elements of their next TAMPs as they have improved their understanding and practices related to TAM and risk management/resiliency. This webinar features discussion from DOTs on how they have used their initial TAMP risk registers and how they plan to enhance their risk registers and risk management and resiliency building processes in their updated TAMPs.

This webinar kicked-off the Improving Your Next TAMP Miniseries. The next cycle of TAMP development is around the corner and agencies need to figure out how they will develop their next TAMP. The purpose of the miniseries is to take a deeper dive into this topic of potential TAMP enhancements and help to provide knowledge, inspiration, and capacity to build a better TAMP.

This first installment focused on the findings of a recent set of FHWA TAM case studies. The case study subject—PennDOT—discussed the case study findings, reflecting on the agency’s 2019 TAMP and plans for their next TAMP.

Webinar video recording and presentation slides are available at: https://old.tam-portal.com/resource/tam-webinar-46/.

This webinar will use an interactive format to get your input on what is most needed to improve your next TAMP. Polls will assess the audience’s opinions in real-time on a variety of topics related to the next TAMP and address topics including: the areas that most need improvement, elements of the TAMP that most help agencies, areas where additional resources are most needed, and what those resources are. The polls will be complemented by an interactive discussion with the facilitators and participants. A summary of the federal requirements and an overview of available resources will also be presented.
