FTA invites public transportation professionals to participate in a national online dialogue on Transit Asset Management (TAM), which began Dec. 12 and continues through Jan. 4, 2013.

The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) law sets forth new asset management requirements for all providers of public transportation services that receive grant assistance from FTA. This dialogue will provide public transportation stakeholders with an opportunity to provide comments to FTA on certain TAM requirements in MAP-21 in advance of FTA beginning a related rulemaking process. Comments will also be taken when the
rulemaking is published in the Federal Register.

The dialogue is free, open to the general public, and accessible at all times.

Once the online dialogue has closed, a report will be made available highlighting the full range of comments and suggestions, including which ideas were most popular.
