Transportation Asset Management (TAM) is an integrated, comprehensive and strategic approach to cost effectively manage Georgia’s assets and meet its transportation needs.TAM’s key strength is that it is data‐driven, and decisions can be supported by the data it uses and generates, as well as by sound engineering judgement. The TAM process has enabled GDOT to move away from the traditional “worst‐first” to “most at risk first” approach when managing its infrastructure and applying preservation activities.
