Peer Learning
FTA’s peer learning opportunities bring together transit agencies and other stakeholders from around the country to discuss TAM plans and other aspects of transit asset management. Announcements for upcoming peer learning events will be sent to the TAM email distribution list and interested parties will be asked to submit a brief application to participate. Please see below for different peer offering descriptions:
- Virtual discussion forms are standalone, virtual events for ~10 transit agency professionals to present briefly and talk about a predetermined topic. 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 ~15 participants from different transit agencies to engage virtually on a designated TAM topic to promote peer learning, share peer-designed resources, and collaborate on best practices. The group will meet monthly for one year, and participants will give short presentations on a rotating basis on a best practice or a current challenge at their agency. The next peer working group is expected to begin in early 2024.
- Peer exchanges are in-person, 1.5-day events on a specific topic involving a small number of agencies and will take place onsite at one of the participating agencies. The next TAM peer exchange is expected to occur in early 2024.
