This document discusses implementing an enterprise asset management (EAM) system at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. It notes that strategic asset management requires shared goals and collaboration across departments, but the agency's mission does not currently emphasize optimizing costs. This cultural change must be addressed before implementing EAM software. The document provides examples of asset management needs at PATH and the George Washington Bridge, outlines EAM benefits seen by other agencies, and discusses incorporating EAM into the Port Authority's current inspection and planning processes. It notes the requirements of MAP-21 legislation and emphasizes that software is less important than addressing cultural challenges.
