Abstract This project provides data compilation, analysis methodology and visualization methodology for the current network data assets of the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT). This study finds that ALDOT is faced with a considerable number of challenges in meeting the growing demand for transportation. This project also provides a technology-enabled tool for asset management, to help define issues, and to help managers make data-driven, model-based decisions about work issues and allocation of resources. The study finds: • The 2004 to 2008 CPMS does not meet the needs of the transportation system. The program will have outstanding transportation needs for improvements in capacity, safety, and system preservation (bridges and pavement). • The 2018 CPMS transportation program will demonstrate even higher levels of deficiencies and need for additional funding. • Program funds are equitably distributed to programs statewide, including counties that have been identified as “lagging” by the Center for Business and Economic Research at the University of Alabama. • The CPMS program should be reviewed periodically to ensure it continues to meet performance measures for capacity, safety, and system preservation.
