13 Highlights of TAMP Evolvement at GDOT Evolved simultaneously with initial TAM efforts Collaborative effort of different GDOT units/offices Plan focuses on pavements, bridges and signs It is a living document; it has already changed twice A separate unit established to focus on TAM and develop the plan 13

14 Where does TAM fit at GDOT? STRATEGIC PLANNING PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT ASSET MANAGEMENT An effective TAM program requires the coordinated effort of three things 14 RESEARCH

15 What’s Next Named a Risk Manager in 2013 – Pilot for SHRP2 R09- Risk Management in Complex projects Current IT project to develop data warehouse Looking at how to incorporate risk further into TAM, and, how to measure and manage data better …future research projects?
