Public Transportation Management System Instructions for Asset Inventories In 2004,the Washington state Department of Transportation collected transit system data electronically and created a new database to maintain the information. This change in data collection improved the accuracy of transit statistics,simplified the preparation of data intensive reports and allowed state and local agencies an opportunity to access transit information from a common data library. To expand on the efficiencies of collecting and reporting transit numbers,the Public Transportation and Commute Options Office has prepared new public transportation asset inventory forms. This document will satisfy the state and federal requirements for submitting inventory information including the Federal Transit Administrations Public Transportation Management System and the state's Asset Management Inventory component.
