This project is intended to expand the understanding of BIM and its capbilities, share state DOTs' knowledge and experience, and help DOTs identify steps to advance the use and practice.

The 2045 Mississippi Unified Long-Range Transportation Infrastructure Plan is currently in progress, and the previous MULTIPLAN 2040 is no longer accessible over the internet. The final draft of the plan is undergoing revision and an environmental impact study is being conducted, so the public review period is expected to begin soon.

Performance-based planning and programming connects the day-to-day asset management decisions with a broader long-range plan, and it unites both under a common set of goals. On this FHWA webpage, you can find more information on the topic and links to performance-based planning resources.

This book examines asset management from a multi-modal perspective, including methods to evaluate system needs, setting goals and performance measures, data and modeling, trade-off analysis, project evaluation, and financing.

This handbook is intended to expand upon and provide general information and guidance on the management of systems and associated assets used in the transit operating environment in support of the FTA Transit Asset Management (TAM) rule. It offers a framework that outlines systems theoretical concepts and defines specific classes and types of transit systems to foster consistency in transit system asset management practices. Practical information is presented to assist transit operators in their efforts to inventory systems assets and identify activities and investments needed throughout the system life cycle to receive the most value from the system.

This report captures discussions and remarks from the 2019 Transportation Resilience conference. At this conference, presenters and attendees shared advancements made in their transportation agencies to improve resilience to natural disasters, climate change, and the impact of extreme weather events. The summary report underscores the state-of-practice, acknowledges existing gaps, and plans for future studies to fill the gaps. It should be used to inform practitioners and continue development in this area.

A comprehensive review of the challenges of implementing managed lanes from the perspective of state DOTs is presented in this research report. The review covers much of the available literature (60 publications and over 700 media articles), a survey sent to 50 state DOTs, and six relevant case studies. With an often highly dubious public, there is quite a wide gap between the goals of DOTs' managed lanes and the public's assumptions. This research seeks to understand that gap and present best practices for overcoming the challenges facing tolling or pricing on managed lanes.

The most recent version of Rhode Island's long range plan was published as a draft in fall 2020 with a final version expected following the public comment period. The plan covers the state's vision, trends, infrastructure and financial needs, performance measures, and future projects.

Reliability is an increasingly important measure for transit performance as transit must compete with other mobility service providers. In this guide, public transit agencies and and other stakeholders are instructed on the value of measuring reliability and how to address the reliability issues for several different environments. The guide examples focus on fixed-route bus service, as it is the most common mode of transit in the US and globally, but the methodology may be applied to other modes as well. It presents the three key components of reliability: short wait times, on-time arrivals, and consistent travel times. Three perspectives are also addressed in the guide; these are customer, agency, and operator perspectives.

The FDOT Source Book presents key system performance indicators. It also documents mobility trends and insights into emerging technologies and innovations. Traditionally available in a PDF, the 2020 Source Book is the first version to be published online.

This plan outlines the policy framework to address multimodal system development in Illinois. It centers around the five performance goals of economy, livability, mobility, resiliency, and stewardship and defines performance measures to track progress.

The California Transportation Plan 2050 focuses on developing a transportation system which supports communities, advances racial and economic justice, and improves public and environmental health across California. After an analysis of the current trends and conditions, the plan details fourteen recommendations for achieving their 2050 goals and outlines the next steps in implementation. In addition to the main plan document, five other elements contribute to the development and results: Strategies Element, Technical Analysis Element, Plan Development Element, Financial Element, and Implementation Element.
