The purpose of this part is to imple-ment the requirements of 23 U.S.C. 303(a) which directs the Secretary of Transportation (the Secretary) to issue regulations for State development, es-tablishment, and implementation of
4、 systems for managing highway pave-ment of Federal-aid highways (PMS), bridges on and off Federal-aid high-ways (BMS), highway safety (SMS), traffic congestion (CMS), public trans-portation facilities and equipment (PTMS), and intermodal transportation facilities and systems (IMS). This regu-lation
5、also implements 23 U.S.C. 303(b) which directs the Secretary to issue guidelines and requirements for State development, establishment, and im-plementation of a traffic monitoring system for highways and public trans-portation facilities and equipment (TMS). 500.102 Policy. (a) Federal, State, and l
6、ocal govern-ments are under increasing pressure to balance their budgets and, at the same time, respond to public demands for quality services. Along with the need to invest in Americas future, this leaves transportation agencies with the task of trying to manage current transportation systems as co
7、st-effec-tively as possible to meet evolving, as well as backlog needs. The use of exist-ing or new transportation management systems provides a framework for cost- effective decision making that empha-sizes enhanced service at reduced pub-lic and private life-cycle cost. The pri-mary outcome of tra
8、nsportation man-agement systems is improved system performance and safety. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) strongly encourage implementa-tion of transportation management systems consistent with State, metro-politan planning organization, transi
9、t operator, or local government needs. (b) Whether the systems are devel-oped under the provisions of this part or under a States own procedures, the following categories of FHWA adminis-tered funds may be used for develop-ment, establishment, and implementa-tion of any of the management systems and
10、 the traffic monitoring system: Na-tional highway system; surface trans-portation program; State planning and research and metropolitan planning funds (including the optional use of minimum allocation funds authorized under 23 U.S.C. 157(c) and restoration funds authorized under 202(f) of the Nation

28、lies analyses and summaries of data, uses mathematical models to make forecasts and recommendations, and provides the means by which alter-native policies and programs may be efficiently considered. An effective BMS should include, as a minimum, formal procedures for: (a) Collecting, processing, and
29、 updat-ing data; (b) Predicting deterioration; (c) Identifying alternative actions; (d) Predicting costs; (e) Determining optimal policies; (f) Performing short- and long-term budget forecasting; and (g) Recommending programs and schedules for implementation within policy and budget constraints. 500
30、.108 SMS. An SMS is a systematic process with the goal of reducing the number and se-verity of traffic crashes by ensuring that all opportunities to improve high-way safety are identified, considered, implemented as appropriate, and evalu-ated in all phases of highway planning, design, construction,
31、 maintenance, and operation and by providing information for selecting and implementing effec-tive highway safety strategies and projects. The development of the SMS may be based on the guidance in Safety Management Systems: Good Practices for Development and Imple-mentation.3An effective SMS should
32、 include, at a minimum: (a) Communication, coordination, and cooperation among the organiza-tions responsible for the roadway, human, and vehicle safety elements; (b) A focal point for coordination of the development, establishment, and implementation of the SMS among the agencies responsible for th
33、ese major safety elements; (c) Establishment of short- and long- term highway safety goals to address identified safety problems; (d) Collection, analysis, and linkage of highway safety data; (e) Identification of the safety re-sponsibilities of units and positions; (f) Public information and educat
34、ion activities; and (g) Identification of skills, resources, and training needs to implement high-way safety programs. 500.109 CMS. (a) For purposes of this part, conges-tion means the level at which transpor-tation system performance is unaccept-able due to excessive travel times and delays. Conges
35、tion management means the application of strategies to im-prove system performance and reli-ability by reducing the adverse impacts of congestion on the movement of peo-ple and goods in a region. A congestion management system or process is a systematic and regionally accepted ap-proach for managing
36、 congestion that provides accurate, up-to-date informa-tion on transportation system oper-ations and performance and assesses al-ternative strategies for congestion management that meet State and local needs. (b) The development of a congestion management system or process should result in performan
37、ce measures and strategies that can be integrated into transportation plans and programs. The level of system performance deemed acceptable by State and local officials may vary by type of transpor-tation facility, geographic location (metropolitan area or subarea and/or non-metropolitan area), and/
38、or time of day. In both metropolitan and non- metropolitan areas, consideration needs to be given to strategies that manage demand, reduce single occu-pant vehicle (SOV) travel, and improve transportation system management and operations. Where the addition of general purpose lanes is determined to
39、be an appropriate congestion manage-ment strategy, explicit consideration is to be given to the incorporation of ap-propriate features into the SOV project to facilitate future demand manage-ment strategies and operational im-provements that will maintain the functional integrity of those lanes. 72

41、T 500.203 500.110 PTMS. An effective PTMS for public trans-portation facilities (e.g., maintenance facilities, stations, terminals, transit related structures), equipment, and rolling stock is a systematic process that collects and analyzes information on the condition and cost of transit as-sets on
42、 a continual basis, identifies needs, and enables decision makers to select cost-effective strategies for pro-viding and maintaining transit assets in serviceable condition. The PTMS should cover public transportation sys-tems operated by the State, local juris-dictions, public transportation agen-c
43、ies and authorities, and private (for profit and non-profit) transit operators receiving funds under the Federal Transit Act and include, at a min-imum: (a) Development of transit asset con-dition measures and standards; (b) An inventory of the transit assets including age, condition, remaining usef
44、ul life, and replacement cost; and (c) Identification, evaluation, and implementation of appropriate strate-gies and projects. 500.111 IMS. An effective IMS for intermodal fa-cilities and systems provides efficient, safe, and convenient movement of peo-ple and goods through integration of transporta
45、tion facilities and systems and improvement in the coordination in planning, and implementation of air, water, and the various land-based transportation facilities and systems. An IMS should include, at a minimum: (a) Establishment of performance measures; (b) Identification of key linkages be-tween
46、 one or more modes of transpor-tation, where the performance or use of one mode will affect another; (c) Definition of strategies for im-proving the effectiveness of these modal interactions; and (d) Evaluation and implementation of these strategies to enhance the over-all performance of the transpo
47、rtation system. Subpart BTraffic Monitoring System 500.201 Purpose.
