FTA SGR Existing Practice ReviewMotivation
Growing concern that a significant proportion of the nation’s public transportation assets are in need of capital reinvestment to achieve SGR
Limited information available on best practice beyond materials from the recent FTA SGR workshop
Significant opportunity to draw upon lessons learned internationally and in related areas (e.g., highways)
Scope
• Literature review for SGR/transit asset management material
• Case studies of 11 U.S. transit and other agencies

London UndergroundSystem Description
11 rail lines in metropolitan London
243 milesof track
276 stations
4,070 railcars
3M ridersdaily
Operating since 1863

London UndergroundPrivatization
Privatized in 2003
System maintenance was divided between 3 Infracos
• JNP (Jubilee, Northern Picadilly lines) – Tube Lines
• BCV, SSL (all other lines) – Metronet
Both Tube Lines and Metronet faced severe financial difficulties
In 2006 Metronet went bankrupt an LU took responsibility for the BCV, SSL contracts
• Operating according based on the same set of requirements as Metronet
![Page 19: International Perspectives on Asset Management and SGR](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032617/55a9fd121a28abd93f8b464b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
London UndergroundPractice Overview
Developed an asset management regime for the Infracos including measures by asset type in
• Ambience of trains and stations
• Availability of the infrastructure, with reductions in availability due to maintenance measured in terms of lost customer hours
• Capability of the infrastructure to provide service, measured in terms of passenger journey time
• Fault rectification, measured based on response time established by type of defect
Adjusts monthly payments based on performance
Asset Performance Review Maintenance (APRM)meetings every four weeks

20
London UndergroundPractice Overview (continued)
LU practice for BCV, SSL
• Developed a comprehensive asset register (required for each Infraco)
• Established standards for inspections and maintenance
• Implemented ELLIPSE for maintenance management
• Daily vehicle inspection, track walks: visual inspection with data entered in ELLIPSE using hand held devices
Investment plan
• Prepared annually
• Assets categorized on an A-E scale based on residual life
• LU models projected expenditures considering impacts of deferred maintenance on agency and user costs

London UndergroundNoteworthy Features
Development of a comprehensive asset register, including condition measures for all of its assets
Implementation of the measure lost customer hours for supporting evaluation of maintenance effectiveness and linking maintenance to user costs
Development of an annual asset management plan considering available funding and explicitly calculating agency and user costs of deferred maintenance

Victoria Department of TransportPrivatization
Passenger transport system was broken into 5 fully independent franchises in 1999
• Arrangement ended with 3 franchises in receivership, 2 in financial distress
Restructured in 2004
• Connex operates, maintains and renews the rail network of metropolitan Melbourne
• Yarra Trams operates, maintains and renews the tram system
• Metlink integrates ticketing for rail, tram and bus passenger travel in Melbourne
• V/Line Passenger operates regional passenger service

Victoria Department of TransportPractice Overview
Well established government asset management policy published in 2000: Sustaining Our Assets
Original arrangement emphasized a performance-based approach, with Victoria DOT to measure conditions every 3 years using a 0-100 scale
• Approach was problematic – updates too infrequent, scale too complicated, problems with gaming the system
Revised approach
• Franchises establish an Asset Management Plan (AMP) for inspection, maintenance, quality assurance practices
• KPIs established for monitoring condition: e.g., mean time/distance between failures, asset availability,number of defects, planned vs. actual work
![Page 26: International Perspectives on Asset Management and SGR](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032617/55a9fd121a28abd93f8b464b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Victoria Department of TransportPractice Overview (continued)
Asset register
• Franchises track vehicle conditions, work performed
• Victoria DOT commissioned the Victorian Rail Infrastructure Survey to detail track centerline and geometry, driver’s view imagery, aerial imagery, additional asset information
• Populated the Privatized Assets Support Systems (PASS) Assets Database with information on over 40 types of assets
• Web-based geospatial system provides detailed asset data to over 800 users
• Victoria DOT working on appropriate set of condition measures to add to PASS

Conclusions
Single most important element for good transit asset management: well-defined set of lifecycle maintenance policies
Asset management systems are a virtual necessary, but not sufficient, requirement for transit asset management
Major opportunities for improvements to existing U.S. practice
• Developing improved measures for characterizing conditions, impact of deferred maintenance
• Approaches to building an asset hierarchy/register
• Models for analyzing future capital needs considering available budgets
