The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is offering this grant to fund two separate projects aimed at comprehensively addressing transit asset management, with a total of $1.4 million available. This grant is for developing a robust framework for transit asset management. The first project will create a manual for transit asset management, similar to AASHTO’s highway guidance. The second project will investigate integrating existing maintenance management systems with higher-level asset management inventories, specifically in conjunction with an urban transit rail system. These projects are intended to complement each other, providing a cohesive framework for asset management for transit agencies.
