The document summarizes a presentation given at the WASHTO Annual Meeting on July 14, 2010 about Utah Department of Transportation's asset management program. It discusses UDOT's strategic goals of taking care of existing infrastructure and making the system work better. It provides an overview of UDOT's management of different asset types including pavements, bridges, culverts and walls. Key aspects covered include UDOT's inventory of assets, condition assessment measures, use of GIS systems, and funding needs to maintain assets in a state of good repair.

3. Utah Facts
• Population 2,800,000
• Land Area: 84,900 sq
miles (11th Largest
State)
• 1640 UDOT
Employees
• 5840 Miles (13% of
State)
• 16,250 Lane-Miles

4. The Challenge

5. UDOT Strategic Goals
“The Final Four”
 Take Care of What We Have
 Make the System Work Better
 Improve Safety
 Increase Capacity

8. 7 Steps to Asset Management Implementation
1. Inventory
2. Condition Assessment
3. Targets
4. Deterioration Curves
5. Maintenance Strategies
6. Cross Asset Optimization
7. Projects

9. Culvert Inventory
• Inventory is the First Step in Asset Management

10. MSE Walls
• Inventory Completed
• Condition Determined
• Next Phase
– Establishment of Targets
– Integrate with
Department’s Asset
Optimization Database

11. Bridge
• Inventory Completed
Every Two Years
• Condition Assessment
Determined at Element
Level

12. UDOT Strategic Goals
• Pavements that are in
good condition today
can be maintained by
an appropriate mix of
maintenance and
preservation treatments
that will maximize the
system Overall Condition
Index (OCI) and prolong
the pavement life.

The level of funding to obtain the optimal condition level (point of diminishing marginal
return) was found to be $60 Million for the Interstate (increasing to $80 million), $50
million for the Level 1 NHS, $60 Million for the Level 1 non-NHS, and $90 million for the
Level 2 system, for a total of $260 to $280 Million per year.
