Transportation Asset Management Conference May 25 in Mt. Pleasant

The Michigan Transportation Asset Management Council (TAMC) will sponsor
the 2017 Spring Asset Management Conference on Thursday, May 25, at the Mt. Pleasant
Comfort Inn and Suites Hotel and Conference Center, 2424 S. Mission Street, Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. The conference will once again provide a forum for state and local officials to examine the relationship between asset management and the condition of road and highway infrastructure.

With a theme of “From Policy to Practice,” the conference will focus on examples of best
practices at the national, state and local levels, and will offer attendees practical guidance on how agencies are managing transportation infrastructure using condition inventory forecasting and the incorporation of other utility data. This year’s conference will also feature panel conversations from leaders involved with the 21st Century Infrastructure Commission, Michigan’s newly created Infrastructure Asset Management Pilot Advisory Board, and bridge management experts from Michigan’s leading transportation agencies.

Conference registration is being handled by the Michigan Local Technical Assistance
