Transit Asset Management Plan This page intentionally left blank DART Transit Asset Management Plan Version 1.0 September 2018. This page intentionally left blank Executive Summary About DART Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) is a sub-regional transportation authority that was created by a voting majority of the citizens on August 13, 1983, to organize and provide public transportation and complementary services to jurisdictions pursuant to Chapter 452 of the Texas Transportation Code (the Act). Its service area comprises 13 North Texas municipalities (Addison, Carrollton, Cockrell Hill, Dallas, Farmers Branch, Garland, Glenn Heights, Highland Park, Irving, Plano, Richardson, Rowlett, and University Park) as shown in Exhibit I.2 (on page 6). Its headquarters is located in downtown Dallas. Under the Act, DART is authorized to collect a 1 percent sale and use tax on certain transactions. DART provides bus, light rail, commuter rail, paratransit, vanpool, and other services to our 13 municipalities across a 700- square-mile service area with a population of 2.4 million in the Dallas, Texas, area. DART has operated bus service since its inception in 1983. The first segment of light rail opened in 1996, and the 20-mile Light Rail Starter System was completed in May 1997. Since then, DART has worked to expand light rail considerably. DART operates 93 miles of light rail, including an extension to UNT Dallas that opened October 24, 2016. DART operates commuter rail service—Trinity Railway Express, which also opened in 1996—jointly with the Fort Worth Transportation Authority along a 34-mile rail corridor between the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth. Mission and Vision Mission Statement – DART’s mission statement defines the purpose for which the agency was created: The mission of Dallas Area Rapid Transit is to build, establish, and operate a safe, efficient, and effective transportation system that, within the DART Service Area, provides mobility, improves the quality of life, and stimulates economic development through the implementation of the DART Service Plan as adopted by the voters on August 13, 1983, and as amended from time to time. Vision Statement – To help achieve the Board’s mission and strategic priorities, the Board has approved a vision statement to address DART’s customers and stakeholders. DART: Your preferred choice of transportation for now and in the future. Board Strategic Priorities – To achieve this mission and ensure agency alignment, in April 2015 the Board adopted the following six strategic priorities: 1. Continually improve service and safety experiences and perceptions. 2. Optimize and preserve (state of good repair) the existing transit system. 3. Optimize DART’s influence in regional transportation planning. 4. Expand DART’s transportation system to serve cities inside and outside the current service area. 5. Pursue excellence through employee engagement, development, and well being. 6. Innovate to improve levels of service, business processes, and funding. Transit Asset Management Plan | Executive Summary i DART’s Transit Asset Management Plan DART developed the Transit Asset Management Plan (TAM Plan) to provide safe and reliable transportation services throughout its service area in full compliance with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) regulations for transit asset management - Regulations (CFR) Title 49 Parts 625 and 630. The purpose of this plan is to provide a clear picture of the assets owned by DART, their condition, and the processes DART follows to ensure it conducts the right work at the right time on these assets to maintain them efficiently in support of the Board Strategic Priority #2 - Optimize and preserve (state of good repair) the existing transit system. In this TAM Plan you will find all the required elements according to the TAM Final Rule, including DART’s TAM and SGR Policy, capital inventory list, condition assessment of defined assets, list of prioritized capital investment projects, and key future activities. DART’s vision is to be on par with world-class business practices in both the Enterprise Asset Management and Enterprise Project Management business areas. DART established a formal governance structure to analyze the current asset management, supply chain management, warehouse management, and project management business processes and make a recommendation to re-engineer these business processes, as appropriate. The governance committee determined there are gaps in the current computerized maintenance management system in terms of meeting DART’s business needs and prepared system requirements to procure commercial solution(s) to support the re-engineered processes. At the time of this TAM Plan, we are finalizing the procurement and preparing key activities for the transition. The TAM Plan will be updated at a minimum of every four years, or as major adjustments to DART’s assets or asset management processes are made. ii Transit Asset Management Plan | Executive Summary Table of Contents Executive Summary ........................................................................................................................................ i About DART .................................................................................................................................... i Mission and Vision ......................................................................................................................... i DART’s Transit Asset Management Plan ....................................................................................... ii 1 Introduction ............................................................................................................................................ 1 1.1 Federal Transit Administration Transit Asset Management Final Rule Requirements .................. 1 1.2 State of Good Repair Performance Measures and Targets ........................................................... 1 1.3 Transit Asset Management Plan .................................................................................................... 2 1.4 Reporting ....................................................................................................................................... 3 1.5 Purpose and Structure ................................................................................................................... 3 2 Transit Asset Management and State of Good Repair Policy .................................................................. 5 3 Capital Asset Inventory ........................................................................................................................... 7 4 Performance and Condition .................................................................................................................... 9 4.1 Performance Targets ..................................................................................................................... 9 4.2 Asset Condition and Performance Measurements ...................................................................... 10 5 Decision Support ................................................................................................................................... 15 5.1 Operations Maintenance Plan ..................................................................................................... 15 5.2 Decision Process .......................................................................................................................... 16 6 Investment Prioritization ...................................................................................................................... 22 7 Transit Asset Management Plan Implementation Strategy and Key Transit Asset Management Activities ............................................................................................................................................... 28 7.1 Asset Information Framework ..................................................................................................... 28 7.2 Supply Chain Management ......................................................................................................... 29 7.3 Component Serialization ............................................................................................................. 29 7.4 New Enterprise Asset Management System ............................................................................... 29 8 Resources .............................................................................................................................................. 32 9 Continuous Improvement ..................................................................................................................... 34 Transit Asset Management Plan | Table of Contents iii Appendices Appendix A TAM Plan Key Terms and Definitions ............................................................................. 36 Appendix B TAM Compliance Matrix ................................................................................................ 38 Appendix C DART Facility Locations .................................................................................................. 42 Figures Figure 1.
