Abstract
This Guide is designed to serve as a resource to agencies adopting an asset management philosophy. It presents an asset management process that can be used by any local agency in Indiana. It also introduces common terminology and helpful hints to get you started. The Guide promotes a statewide approach to gather and analyze the information you need to develop an asset management plan. You can use this Guide to: learn more about what asset management is, identify the steps involved with implementing asset management, discover ways to use data to better communicate with elected officials, develop an effective asset management plan. The focus of this Guide is on Transportation Asset Management, but the same concepts can be applied to other assets that your agency manages, such as sewers and water treatment plants.
