A RESOLUTION APPROVING AND ADOPTING THE
COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 2023
GROUP TRANSIT ASSET MANAGEMENT PLAN
WHEREAS, 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;
and
WHEREAS, 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; and
WHEREAS, a TAM Plan must include, at a minimum, the following four elements:
1. An inventory of the number and type of capital assets, including Rolling Stock (vehicles),
Facilities, and Equipment.
2. A condition assessment of those inventoried assets for which an agency carries direct
capital responsibility.
3. A description of the analytical processes and decision-support tools used to estimate
capital investment needs over time, and to develop an investment prioritization.
4. A project-based prioritization of capital investments based on reasonably anticipated
funding available; and
WHEREAS, larger, Tier 1 agencies are required to develop agency TAM Plans, while
smaller, Tier 2 agencies are required to either develop their own agency TAM Plan or participate
in a sponsored Group TAM Plan; and
WHEREAS, Departments of Transportation, including CDOT, are required to develop
Group TAM Plans on behalf of Tier 2 agencies in Colorado to reduce the planning and reporting
burden on those agencies; and
WHEREAS, the TAM Rule does apply to City as a public transportation provider and
recipient of financial assistance through FTA 49 U.S.C. Chapter 53 programs and the agency
has opted to participate in the CDOT-sponsored 2023 Group TAM Plan; and
WHEREAS, as the sponsor, CDOT leads 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;
and
WHEREAS, 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; and
WHEREAS, CDOT and 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 plan year, and to
develop a ranked list of priority projects designed to address the backlog of needed transit asset
replacements and investments; and
WHEREAS, On February 28, 2023, the Group TAM Plan was completed, satisfying the FTA
TAM Rule as it applies to CDOT and its participating agencies; and
WHEREAS, 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; NOW THEREFORE,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF PUEBLO, that
SECTION 1.
