Transit Asset Management

Transit Asset Management (TAM) is a strategy that transportation agencies use to maintain and operate their vehicles and infrastructure efficiently. It involves tracking the condition of assets like buses, trains, tracks, and stations, planning for repairs or upgrades to extend their lifespan, and making informed decisions to ensure safety, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. By systematically managing these assets, agencies can reduce unexpected breakdowns, optimize funding, and provide better service to the public over time. Essentially, TAM helps keep transportation systems safe, dependable, and well-maintained through proactive planning and resource allocation.
