The purpose of transportation asset management (TAM) is to provide a required level of service of transportation infrastructure assets in the most cost-effective manner, while providing safe transportation options to all users. In urban areas these users include not only motorized vehicles, but also pedestrians, cyclists, aging users and well as users with disabilities. It is crucial that the TAM decision-making incorporates the needs of all users using the transportation infrastructure, in order to promote transportation options that foster healthy life-style, improve quality of life as well as reduce greenhouse gas emissions and inequity. This paper discusses how maintenance decisions for roadway assets are influenced by traffic safety information including vehicle crash data and road safety audits. Preventive maintenance, rehabilitation, and reconstruction events throughout the asset life-cycle are paired with safety improvements on high-risk road segments or crossings to provide a transportation network that is accessible and safe for vulnerable road users.
