90 A P P E N D I X E Sample Interview Guide Interview Guide Practices for Coordinating Asset Management Performance Measurement and Monitoring between State Transportation Agencies and Metropolitan Planning Organizations Overview You are being contacted as part of National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 20-05 (51-05), Practices for Coordinating Asset Management Performance Measurement and Monitoring between State Transportation Agencies and Metropolitan Planning Organizations, which includes documenting state DOT and MPO collaboration regarding Transportation Asset Management (TAM) implementation, measurement and monitoring. As part of this project, Spy Pond Partners, LLC (SPP), along with Econolite Systems, is performing a literature review and documenting case examples of exemplary practices with respect to this topic. The information will be incorporated into a synthesis of practices to initiate and facilitate collaboration with MPOs. As your agency is well respected in this area, we would like to include a description of your agency’s practices in the review. The following pages describe the topics we would like to address. We hope to cover these areas in a teleconference interview, with any additional follow-up questions handled via email or teleconference call. We appreciate your participation in this project.
