Transit Asset Management
The Federal Transit Administration published the Transit Asset Management Final Rule on July 26, 2016 with an effective date of October 1, 2016. It develops a framework for transit agencies to monitor and manage public transportation assets, improve safety, increase reliability and performance to keep their systems operating smoothly and efficiently.
As the Regional Transportation District is the major public transportation provider in the DRCOG MPO region, has fixed-route rail guideways, and is a Tier One agency that has developed a Transit Asset Management Plan, RTD has developed information and targets for the required state of good repair measures.
In consultation with FTA and the Colorado Department of Transportation, the DRCOG Board elected to support RTD’s transit asset management performance targets.
