TRANSIT ASSET MANAGEMENT PLAN
SUMMARY:
The attached resolution approves the 2018 Group Transit Asset Management Plan prepared in
conjunction with Pueblo Transit and the Colorado Department of Transportation.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None
BACKGROUND:
In July 2016, the FTA published the National Transit Asset Management (TAM) Final Rule
(49 U.S.C. 625) defining the term “state of good repair” (SGR) and establishing
requirements for transit asset management for FTA recipients and sub-recipients. The
FTA TAM Rule requires that all agencies that receive federal financial assistance under
49 U.S.C. Chapter 53 and own, operate, or manage capital assets used in the provision
of public transportation create an asset management plan by October 1, 2018. The TAM
Plan must include, at a minimum, the following four elements:
An inventory of the number and type of capital assets, including Rolling
Stock (vehicles), Facilities, and Equipment.
A condition assessment of those inventoried assets for which an agency
carries direct capital responsibility.
A description of the analytical processes and decision-support tools used
to estimate capital investment needs over time, and to develop a
investment prioritization.
A project-based prioritization of capital investments based on reasonably
anticipated funding available; and
Larger, Tier 1 agencies are required to develop agency TAM Plans, while smaller, Tier 2
agencies, such as Pueblo Transit are required to either develop their own agency TAM
Plan or participate in a sponsored Group TAM Plan. The Colorado Department of
Transportation (CDOT) sponsored a Group TAM Plans for Tier 2 agencies in Colorado to
reduce the planning and reporting burden on those agencies.
CDOT lead the effort to collaboratively develop the Group TAM Plan, to develop decision
support and analysis tools, to set SGR performance targets for the plan participants, to
develop a ranked list of prioritized asset management projects based on anticipated
revenues, and to annually report to the National Transit Database the asset inventories,
SGR measures, SGR targets and a plan narrative on behalf of the plan participants. The
Group TAM Plan participants are responsible to provide and maintain up-to-date asset
inventory and condition assessment data, to collaborate in the development of the Group
TAM Plan, to work cooperatively with CDOT toward meeting SGR targets, and for agency
Accountable Executives to formally approve and implement the plan within their agencies.
Throughout 2017 and 2018 CDOT and the City collaborated along with other participating
agencies to compile and analyze a comprehensive transit asset inventory, to estimate
Federal, State and Local revenues available for investments in the Group TAM inventory,
to set SGR Targets for the 2019 plan year, and to develop a ranked list of priority projects
designed to address the backlog of needed transit asset replacements and investments.
On September 29, 2018 the 2018 Group TAM Plan was completed, satisfying the FTA
TAM Rule as it applies to CDOT and to its participating agencies. The Group TAM Plan
provides City, CDOT and its participating agencies valuable information to achieve the
best possible state of good repair of transit assets by supporting the optimal investment
of Federal, State and Local transit capital revenues.
The document prioritizes the replacement needs for Pueblo Transit. Below is a list of
those items contained it the plan.
