Title: National Transit Asset Management (TAM) System.
OMB Number: 2132-0579.
Background: Transit Asset Management (TAM) is a business model that
prioritizes funding based on the condition of transit assets to achieve
and maintain a state of good repair for the nation's public
transportation assets. The TAM program enables transit agencies to
implement strategic approaches to monitoring, maintaining, and
replacing transit assets. Federal requirements for transit asset
management applies to all recipients and sub-recipients of Chapter 53
funds that own, operate, or manage public transportation capital
assets. It is a framework for transit agencies to monitor and manage
public transportation assets, improve safety, increase reliability and
performance, and establish performance measures in order to help
agencies keep their systems operating smoothly and efficiently. FTA's
TAM rule requires transit agencies to develop a compliant TAM plan, set
performance targets for capital assets, create data and narrative
reports on performance measures, and coordinate with their planning
partners. Transit agencies are required to submit their performance
measures and targets to the National Transit Database.
Respondents: All recipients and sub-recipients of Chapter 53 funds
that own, operate, or manage public transportation capital assets.
Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 2,915.
Estimated Annual Number of Responses: 932.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 378,004.
Frequency: Annual.

Deputy Associate Administrator, Office of Administration.
