Program Overview
The AASHTO Performance Management Technical Service Program is a suite of products and services that support state DOTs in implementing robust AASHTO Performance Management programs in their agencies. The AASHTO Performance Management Technical Service Program includes the following activities.
- Identify, develop, and deliver needed training;
- Facilitate the sharing and retention of performance management best practices;
- Develop AASHTO Performance Management tools and resources; and
- Provide access to specialty services, experts, and consultants related to AASHTO Performance Management.
The technical areas addressed include asset management, risk management, organizational management, and system mobility and emerging technologies. The AASHTO Performance Management Technical Service Program grew out of the successful AASHTO Performance Management Technical Service pooled-fund program that was led by the Rhode Island Department of Transportation and supported by FHWA with the intent to support state DOTs in implementing the then forthcoming performance management regulations through educational and technical support.
State DOT Benefits
