NVLTAP Managing Local Roads Effectively: A 3-Part Series (Module 1/Virtual)
2026-03-17 08:00 - 10:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Virtual
Overall Course Description
Local roadway agencies are expected to provide a safe, comfortable traveling experience to the community. However, the resources available to meet expectations are limited, particularly for small and rural agencies.
Over the last decade, federal and state transportation agencies have adopted an approach for meeting similar challenges. This data-driven approach helps agencies get the most bang for their buck by picking projects and treatments that keep roads and streets in the best possible condition for as long as possible. The approach is called Transportation Asset Management (TAM).
While TAM is a great fit for federal and state transportation agencies, many local agencies are not ready to take on development of a TAM program. This training offers a simple overview of TAM’s components and illustrates how little changes can have a big impact on an agency.
Module 1: Introduction to TAM
The first module describes the principles and components of a TAM program. The module includes a discussion of the challenges local transportation agencies face and the solutions a TAM program provides, per component. Examples of local transportation agencies are included to highlight the real benefits derived from implementing TAM.
Audience
The training is appropriate for local agencies of any size, including small agencies with only a few paved roads to larger agencies with a more complex asset network.

Module 2:
The second module discusses the impact of small roadway management changes on performance in just a few years. Using a simple road network as an example, the lesson demonstrates how to get the most bang for the buck from available funding. The material then introduces the types of data agencies have to drive decision-making and how it is used. The training includes simple and sophisticated data collection methods and analysis tools to emphasize that a TAM approach is customizable to the agency’s current business practices and resources.
Audience
The training is appropriate for local agencies of any size, including small agencies with only a few paved roads to larger agencies with a more complex asset network.

Module 3:
The third module explores additional steps that an agency can take to get the most of its TAM program. This lesson introduces the concept of risk and how to use risk to prioritize where the agency spends its money. It also explains how agencies can apply the principles discussed in the training to bridges, drainage systems, and other road and street assets. The training closes with a discussion about how competing priorities (such as safety, social equity, and mobility) can be considered in a TAM program.
Audience
The training is appropriate for local agencies of any size, including small agencies with only a few paved roads to larger agencies with a more complex asset network.
