Title
Transit Asset Management Performance Measures and Targets for State of Good Repair
Bret Martin, MPO Staff
Body
In its rule making for MAP-21 and the FAST Act, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) continues to advance efforts to implement a performance-based approach to planning. In its final rulemaking on Transit Asset Management (TAM), the FTA required transit providers to set performance targets for state of good repair related to their assets by January 1, 2017. A separate planning rule for Metropolitan, Statewide and Nonmetropolitan Transportation Planning required MPOs to establish targets not later than 180 days after the date on which the State or providers of public transportation established its performance targets, which places CAMPO’s deadline at June 30, 2017.
As of the end of May, the transit providers in the CAMPO planning area had not yet completed provider-specific asset management performance measures or targets and associated transit asset management plans. GoRaleigh’s asset management plan is currently under development and should be completed within the next few months. GoCary and GoTriangle will also begin the development of their targets and plans over the coming year. In order to meet the deadline for MPOs to establish targets by June 30, 2017, CAMPO staff recommends that the Executive Board approve the State’s established performance measures and easily attainable targets as a stopgap solution until the transit providers within the CAMPO planning area establish theirs. Accordingly, CAMPO will revisit these targets over the coming year once the transit providers complete this exercise.
The State’s Transit Asset Management Plan Performance Measures are attached as Attachment A. The State has established state of good repair measures for equipment, rolling stock and facilities and has set very basic measures that are easy to track and report. CAMPO-staff and CAMPO TCC-recommended targets that correspond with each of the State-adopted performance measures are provided in Attachment B. CAMPO staff will provide a brief overview of these measures and targets at the Executive Board’s June 21st meeting.
Requested Action: ActionRecommend the Executive Board consider adoption of the State transit asset management performance measures for state of good repair and the proposed targets as presented by Staff.
