Providers of public transportation in the 1990s face serious challenges. They must use resources more efficiently than ever. With these challenges in mind, the Indiana Public Transportation Equipment and Facilities Management System (IPTMS) was created as a systematic process for providing information to make informed decisions about transit assets. The main function of the IPTMS is to act as an informational tool to evaluate the state of transit and the condition of transit assets to better plan for investment decisions. The framework and methodologies used in developing the IPTMS are described. This development consists of four parts: development of asset deterioration profiles and condition profile modeling, establishment of threshold performance indicator values, quantitative models that enable full usage of a comprehensive IPTMS prototype simulation model, and guidelines for updating and monitoring the management system. These guidelines will be useful for other agencies, at both the state and individual agency levels, that want to develop a PTMS.
