Transit Asset Management Events
What's New
-
- Virtual discussion forums and in-person peer exchanges will also be offered beginning in Spring 2023. Discussion forums will be standalone, virtual events for ~10 participants to present briefly and talk about a predetermined topic. Announcements will be sent to advertise these events and interested parties will be asked to submit a brief application to participate. Peer exchanges will be in-person, 1.5 day events involving a small number of agencies, and will take place onsite at one of the participating agencies. An announcement will be sent when the TAM Program begin accepting requests for peer exchanges.

- FTA will host the 14th TAM Roundtable as an in-person event on Sunday, July 9, 2023, in Boston, MA. The TAM Roundtable will coincide with TRB’s National Conference on Transportation Asset Management and will bring together participants from across the country who are directly involved in the management of transit capital assets. The TAM Roundtable is a separate event, which will require separate registration. More details to come at a later date.
