Why Highway Infrastructure Asset Management is needed
The training will support all English local highway authorities to develop the skills required to embrace a consistent understanding and approach in implementing asset management. If implemented by all 152 local highway authorities in England, the 5% cost savings described in CIPFA’s Code for Transport Infrastructure Assets may be achieved creating potential savings to the national economy of at least £100 million over the CSR period. The value of the training has been recognised by the Department for Transport as it is included as a requirement of the self-assessment questionnaire, which English local authorities will need to complete to be eligible for £578 million of incentive funding.
