Amotia

Our Mission: Build partnerships with industry and public agency stakeholders to disseminate information on innovative, cost effective programs for managing, operating, and maintaining transportation infrastructure assets. Our Vision: With strong public sector leadership and a spirit of cooperation, private sector management of transportation infrastructure can help improve public safety, minimize congestion, improve reliability, maintain physical assets with lowest possible whole life costs, create an environment of innovation, and improve the agencies’ standing with the general public and elected officials. There are many examples of public services being successfully assisted by the private sector. Most highway construction and design is now carried out by contractors and design firms. It is a logical step to ask industry to assist in gaining maximum value from the transportation infrastructure they have helped to provide. AMOTIA believes that with strong public sector leadership and a spirit of cooperation, private sector management of transportation infrastructure can help improve public safety, minimize congestion through improved reliability, maintain physical assets with lowest possible whole life costs, and can create an environment of mutual innovation. Some of the factors that will help foster cooperation are comprehensive and balanced partnering agreements, mutual understanding of key asset management principles, well‑defined levels of service, mutually agreed upon risk analyses, qualification‑based contracting, operational and maintenance performance and quality measures, and a sound audit trail.
