This introductory course covers the principles of asset management and introduces the five core questions every agency should be able to answer about its assets. The course also illustrates available tools to support the use of asset management in transportation agencies and provides guidelines for the implementation of these principles. The course materials were updated in December of 2009 to place more of an emphasis on the use of asset management principles and the implementation of these concepts. OUTCOMES:
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:- Champion the use of asset management principles and concepts within your agency.
