Transit Asset Management Performance Measures & Targets
Introduction
In 2018, as required by law, transit providers in the Capital Area metropolitan planning area, completed agency specific Transit Asset Management (TAM) Plans including performance measures and targets for transit assets. Transit providers are required to annually update their transit asset performance measures and performance targets for the various asset classes. CAMPO, as required by federal law, works with regional transit providers and NCDOT to review, update and set regional performance targets. By partner agreement, the regional Transit Asset Management performance targets are also reviewed annually to ensure relevance.

Background
In its rule making for the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) and the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST), the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) continues to advance efforts to implement a performance-based approach to planning. The rules established new requirements for metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) to coordinate with transit providers, set performance targets, and integrate those performance targets, and performance plans into their planning documents by certain dates. 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 Non-metropolitan Transportation Planning required MPOs to establish regional performance targets for each performance measure. In 2017, transit providers in the planning area established initial State of Good repair performance targets and the Capital Area Metropolitan Organization has been adopting performance targets for the region each year.
