The report Cutting Red Tape in Colorado State Government Pits and Peeves 2.0 – Progress in Motion Report from the Colorado State Government, provides an update on Lean efforts with the focus to reduce regulatory burdens and cut red tape. Some Department of Transportation achievements are described, including savings on work with Right of Way and savings from going paperless in the Maintenance Training Academy.

This resource provides background information on asset management gap analysis, and it explains how to use the connected Excel tool.

The objective of this research was to develop a TAM gap analysis tool for state DOT and local transportation practitioners to facilitate their implementation of TAM. The tool was formulated as a spreadsheet application based on the prototype presented in TAM, Volume 2 (developed through NCHRP and published by AASHTO), with refinements responsive to (a) requirements of MAP-21 and anticipated FHWA rulemaking and (b) institutional and technical characteristics of U.S. transportation system management practices.

This plan provides a comprehensive assessment of Hawaii's regional transportation needs, offers potential solutions, and establishes priorities for the utilization of the state's limited resources. It covers all multimodal land transportation modes including freight, transit, pedestrian, vehicle and bicycle.

This guide focuses risk management specifically concerning rapid renewal projects, i.e. projects designed to work on an accelerated pace and therefore lessen the project’s disruption to normal transportation patterns. Since projects of this nature are a more recent development, there is less known about how to correctly implement them. This guide formalizes a comprehensive approach to risk management on this kind of project, using steps such as: structuring, risk identification, risk assessment, risk analysis, risk management planning, and risk management implementation.

As a national pilot project, MnDOT produced a TAMP, along with the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development and New York State Department of Transportation, to serve as an example and guide for other states. MnDOT worked closely with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the FHWA Minnesota Division, and regional partners (e.g. Metropolitan Planning Organizations, Regional Development Commissions) to create this plan. MnDOT additionally produced a TAMP Technical Guide, which provides further detail about the process, methodology analyses, and procedures used during its development.

This New Hampshire DOT (NHDOT) Transportation Asset Management Implementation Plan report is the result of a Gap Analysis NHDOT conducted to benchmark current asset management practices versus good practice. Through this exercise, NHDOT developed a Transportation Asset Management Implementation Plan customized to the business processes and needs of the Agency.

The Massachusetts long range plan, weMove Massachusetts, is no longer available on the agency's website.

This presentation from the May 2014 Lean Forum includes a detailed presentation on Lean at the Minnesota DOT and information on process improvement interns.

New York State participated in an FHWA project to create a pilot TAMP to fulfill MAP-21. New York was chosen as one of three pilot states, including Minnesota and Louisiana. NYSDOT’s Transportation Asset Management Plan (TAMP), provides a window into its asset management practices. The TAMP also establishes a blueprint that includes considerations of: risk, life cycle management, performance management, service levels, strategic alignment, and customer outreach.

A presentation describing risk-based asset management plans, their purposes, and how they may be implemented.

A report on the potential applications of TAM principles in the management of ancillary assets, the integration of ancillary assets into Enterprise Asset Management Systems (EAMS), and the development of an ancillary asset classification hierarchy.
