Transit Asset Management (TAM) is a broad system for monitoring and managing the condition of public transportation assets. A core component of TAM is four required performance measures:

• Equipment: Percentage of nonrevenue vehicles met or exceeded Useful Life Benchmark
• Rolling Stock: Percentage of revenue vehicles met or exceeded Useful Life Benchmark
• Infrastructure: Percentage of track segments with performance restrictions
• Facilities: Percentage of assets with condition rating below 3.0 on FTA TERM Scale

Transit providers establish targets for these measures annually, and MPOs like NCTCOG establish regional targets every four years. NCTCOG is currently preparing for target-setting action on these measures in Fall 2022. The Transit Management and Planning team coordinates this measure.
