Evaluating TxDOT’s Pavement Asset Management Maturity using ISO 55000, GFMAM, and FHWA Criteria

10 pagesPublished: June 2, 2026

Abstract

This study evaluates TxDOT's pavement asset management maturity by conducting a document-based assessment in accordance with international and federal standards. The analytical approach was rooted in ISO 55000/55001 standards, the GFM maturity model, and FHWA TAM requirements. TxDOT's performance reports, asset management plans, and strategic plans were evaluated subjectively and assigned a grade based on a five-level maturity scale. A directed content analysis of TxDOT documents was conducted, encompassing coding best practices and assessing maturity levels ranging from Initial to Leading. Findings recommended Policy alignment, data management, decision-making, and performance management have been assigned as “Proficient” Level 4, whereas lifecycle management, risk management and resilience, and organization-wide integration fall into the category as “Structured” Level 3. All federal TAM criteria are satisfied by TxDOT, and excellence is demonstrated in inventory and condition monitoring; however, comprehensive risk mitigation and continuous improvement are lacking. The document-based maturity evaluation indicates TxDOT's progress and identifies areas for improvement. Findings also suggest that adherence to international standards, implementation of risk and resilience planning, and conducting maturity self-assessments may enhance asset management. The study outlines an approach for state DOTs to assess their asset management maturity relative to industry guidelines and promote strategic enhancements.
