New Asset Reporting Requirements

TAM Purpose • Monitor and manage public transportation capital assets to: – Enhance safety, – Reduce maintenance costs, – increase reliability, and – Improve performance • Objective is to reach and maintain a state of good repair (SGR) – Condition in which a capital asset operates at a full level of performance.

TAM Phase ‐ In Schedule Submit Narrative NTD Fiscal Report Report on Report Report Year Report Internal Meeting Condition Condition to be Set Internal Targets to Targets to Data on Data on Submitted Targets NTD NTD Vehicles Facilities Required Not Not January 2017 Optional Not Required (For FY17) Required Required Required RY 2017 Optional Not Required Optional Optional (For FY18) Required RY 2018 Required Not Required Required 1/4 Required (For FY19) Required RY 2019 Required Required Required 2/4 Required (For FY20) Required RY 2020 Required Required Required 3/4 Required (For FY21)

TAM Inventory • More inclusive than the inventory reported to the NTD • Inventory of all assets used to provide service – Provider owned, jointly ‐ procured, owned by third party • Except equipment with acquisition cost < $50,000 (service vehicles excluded) • Condition assessment of inventoried assets for which provider has capital responsibility

TAM NTD Annual Reporting Requirements 1. Annual performance targets (A ‐ 90) • Performance targets for next fiscal year – (e.g., targets submitted in RY 2018 report for RY 2019) 2. Inventory and Condition data Facilities ( A ‐ 15) • • Revenue vehicles (A ‐ 30) • Service vehicles (A ‐ 35) • Track (A ‐ 20) 3. Narrative report of progress by end of report year • Change in condition • Progress toward meeting targets set in last year’s report

TAM Performance Measures Vehicles Equipment Percentage of vehicles that have met or exceeded their (Non ‐ Revenue Service Useful Life Benchmark (ULB) Vehicles) Rolling Stock Percentage of revenue vehicles within a particular asset (Revenue Vehicles) class that have met or exceeded their ULB Infrastructure Not Applicable for State Reporters Rail Guideway, Tracks, Percentage of track segments with performance Signals, Systems restrictions by class Facilities Facilities Within Asset Percentage of facilities with a condition rating below 3.0 on Class the FTA Transit Economic Requirements Model (TERM) scale (1=Poor to 5=Excellent)

Useful Life Benchmark (ULB) • Definition – Expected lifecycle or the acceptable period of use in service for an asset as determined by transit provider OR – Default benchmark provided by FTA • Key Considerations – ULB takes into account a provider’s unique operating environment (e.g., geography, service frequency, climate) – ULB ≠ Useful life for FTA grant programs

TAM Group Plan Reporting • A sponsor can develop a group TAM plan for at least one Tier II provider • Sponsor • A State, designated recipient, or direct recipient Tier II Provider • • Operates < 101 VOMS across fixed ‐ route modes or in any one non ‐ fixed route mode AND Does not operate rail •
