Transit Asset Management Events

What's New

2026 FTA TAM Roundtable

The 2026 TAM Roundtable will be an in-person event in Denver, CO, on July 14-15, 2026. The event will explore lifecycle management, a practice which informs long-term planning, financial performance, and efficient service delivery. Effective lifecycle management practices minimize costs while ensuring service and reliability commitments.

What to Expect
The Roundtable brings together participants from across the country who are directly involved in the management of transit capital assets. The event will feature:

  • Peer learning sessions on lifecycle management (design and procurement; operations and maintenance; rehabilitation and replacement; and condition assessment and performance)
  • A tour of a local transit agency
  • An interactive small group activity

This meeting is an excellent opportunity for agencies to exchange best practices.

Eligibility
The TAM Roundtable is open to public sector employees, including:

  • Transit agency staff
  • State DOT staff focused on transit
  • MPO staff focused on transit

Registration
Please visit the 2026 TAM Roundtable registration page to request to attend the event.

TAM Events

FTA and its partners host a variety of events focused on Transit Asset Management (TAM). View materials from specific events below. Visit the TAM Resource Table for additional resources.

Sign up here to subscribe to receive correspondence from the TAM Program, including announcements for peer learning offerings.

Peer Learning

FTA’s peer learning opportunities bring together transit agencies and other organizations with TAM reporting responsibilities from around the country to discuss TAM plans and transit asset management strategies. Announcements for upcoming peer learning events are sent to the TAM email distribution list and interested parties will be asked to submit a brief application to participate. Please review the descriptions for our peer offerings below.

  • Virtual discussion forums are standalone, virtual events for about 10 transit agency professionals that focus on a designated TAM topic. Participants are asked to present briefly on their experience with the topic and then participate in a guided discussion to facilitate idea-sharing and peer learning.  These 90-minute sessions provide an opportunity for participants to network and collaborate on a variety of TAM topics. 
  • TAM peer working groups bring together about 15-20 participants from transit agencies to engage virtually on TAM topics. Audiences are curated to promote peer learning and collaboration on best practices. Meetings occur monthly over several months. Each meeting features a brief presentation on a TAM-related challenge or success at a participant’s agency, followed by a group discussion. 
  • Peer exchanges are in-person, 1.5-day events that bring together a small group of agencies for a comprehensive exploration of a specific TAM topic. Each participant presents on their agency’s approach, followed by an interactive discussion to share lessons learned and successful strategies.  

Roundtables

FTA’s TAM Roundtable draws 80-100 representatives from transit agencies and other organizations with TAM reporting responsibilities to a different host city each year. This 2-day in-person event allows participants to exchange best practices with their peers through presentations, panels and small group discussion sessions.
