This document outlines best practices for infrastructure asset management in the transport sector. It discusses the importance of developing asset management plans and systems to manage risks, funding, costs, and prioritization of maintenance, renewal, and service levels. Effective asset management requires understanding asset information, condition, and performance; developing whole-life strategies; and using a process of continuous improvement. The key aspects of an asset management system include having policies, objectives, performance management, risk management, and information management to help optimize infrastructure asset decision making.
