RTA Asset Management Efforts
• 1986 Asset Inventory
• 1992 Engineering Condition Assessments
• 1996 Capital Asset Model
• 2000 Regional Transit Asset Management System
Implementing Asset Management:The Intergovernmental Context
• 3 service boards own, maintain and construct their own respective assets
• Railroads, CDOT, IDOT, Counties and Municipalities own, maintain and construct transit assets
• RTA approves and funds annual 5-year capital program for entire region, incorporating Federal, State and local money
7
Example:Traffic Signals
• There are over 6,700 traffic signals in the RTA’s service area
• The City of Chicago, IDOT, 6 county DOTs and private entities all own signals--not transit
• Critical ITS projects utilizing these assets depend on coordination among these various entities

Our Implementation Strategy
• Evolutionary asset management system
• User-friendly information system designed for a variety of users, providing real user benefits
• Users will contribute their information to the system
• As users contribute, the system will continually evolve, incorporating more functionality and gaining more users

Lessons so far...
• Need to increase the number of users, to increase the information flow back into the system
• Open, off-the-shelf technology has advantages
• Incremental approach is working
• Spatial presentations are attractive to a range of users and they facilitate data exchange across organizational boundaries.
15
RTAMS Next Steps
• Gain “product-loyalty” from RTAMS users
• Provide access to more users
• Continue with planned enhancements
• Incorporate user-suggested improvements
• Evaluate continuing evolution of RTAMS
