North Carolina Department of Transportation Perspective

摘要

In North Carolina DOT (NCDOT) asset management is defined as the M&O of existing roadways. Recently, there has been some emphasis placed on the decision-making process of funding levels between new construction and maintenance. The department has developed a strategic long-range transportation plan (LRTP) which addresses this split in detail, but currently no changes have been made to the funding process. In this agency, asset management falls undei the chief engineer's office on the operations side of the organization and supports the 14 highway divisions in their day to day maintenance of a 78,000-mi roadway system; the second largest in the country.
