... 11   Overview This chapter summarizes the results of a literature review conducted to provide insights into DOT and MPO collaboration related to TAM and TPM. It begins with a summary of relevant federal legislation and then highlights findings related to the following topics: • DOT and MPO PBPP and TAM collaboration, • Collaboration strategies, • Organizational structures for collaborating, • Communication and reporting mechanisms related to collaboration, • Efficiencies gained through collaboration, • Barriers to collaboration, and • Collaboration gaps.

... 12 Collaborative Practices for Performance-Based Asset Management Between State DOTs and MPOs • "Asset management means a strategic and systematic process of operating, maintaining, and improving physical assets, with a focus on both engineering and economic analysis based upon quality information, to identify a structured sequence of maintenance, preservation, repair, rehabilitation, and replacement actions that will achieve and sustain a desired state of good repair over the life cycle of the assets at minimum practicable cost." Three sets of interrelated regulations set forth requirements for performance-based planning and TAMPs: • § 23 CFR Part 490 – National Performance Measures. • § 23 CFR Part 450 – Planning Assistance and Standards – Subpart B (State and Non-Metropolitan Transportation Planning and Programming)

... Literature Review 13   • Asset management measures and targets (including, but not limited to, those required under § 23 CFR Part 490) , • Performance gap identification, • Life-cycle planning, • Risk management analysis, • Financial planning, and • Investment strategies for making progress toward performance targets and SGR objectives.

... 14 Collaborative Practices for Performance-Based Asset Management Between State DOTs and MPOs MPOs reported high or moderately high levels of coordination on target setting: between 46 and 52 percent for pavement and between 30 and 54 percent for bridge. Coordination was highest for safety target setting; 56 percent of state DOTs and between 54 and 64 percent of MPOs indicated high or moderately high levels of coordination.

... Literature Review 15   MPOs to use the data they have primarily for reporting and not for future planning and modeling of outcomes. The report cites this as an opportunity for research on ways to align TPM with PBPP and LRP/MTP with STIP/TIP to advance the practice and improve performance forecasting.
