Implementing the MTO s Priority Economic Analysis Tool presented at 6th National Conference on Transportation Asset Management presented by Alison Bradbury Ontario Ministry of Transportation November 2, 2005 1
Agenda Background PEAT Overview Implementation Moving Forward 2
Background The Ministry of Transportation, Ontario (MTO) has been developing an Asset Management Business Framework (AMBF) for the last 3 years. The framework includes all aspects of the Ministry s Provincial Highways Management. The backbone of the AMBF are the Corridor Investment Plans. 3
Asset Management Business Process Draft TO-BE AMBF - Annual Investment Planning - Business Process Level 1 (March 28, 2003) Central Agencies Award Budgets PP&S/ Fin Branch 1. Setting the Context and Providing Direction 4. Pursuing Funding PMB/ COB 2. Identifying Needs 3. Generating Alternatives and Evaluating Solutions 6. Feedback and Oversight 5. Delivering Programs 4 Regions
Corridor Investment Plans (CIP) Identify and define deficiencies within corridors Report on Performance Measures Condition (pavements and bridges) Mobility and Safety (future considerations) Infrastructure Debt Analysis of of different long term management alternatives including changes in condition or functionality. Assets: Pavement sections Bridges Intersections/Interchanges Facilities Furniture Improvement Types Rehabilitation Reconstruction Expansion Preservation Maintenance 5
Introduction to PEAT PEAT: Priority Economic Analysis Tool Project-level economic analysis that fills gaps in the MTO s existing management systems Provides a consistent framework for analyzing Highway projects Bridge projects Intersection projects Expansion projects 6
Introduction to PEAT PEAT was designed to help answer two basic questions Is a project a good investment? If so, should it be implemented now or later? 7
MTO s Requirements for PEAT The economic analysis tool had to be: Built on the existing AMBF Easy to use, built in either Excel or Access Based on economic analysis best practices Use available models Utilize currently available MTO data Calibrated to Ontario conditions (use Ontario parameters and MTO costs) 8

Implementation Training completed for all 5 regions, including structural, geotechnical, and planning and design sections. Regions to test PEAT on the Corridor Investment Plans for this year. Workshop results of PEAT and CIP s in Winter 06. 18
Implementation Need to answer: What is sensitivity of PEAT results? What upgrades are required? What projects should PEAT be made mandatory (is there a traffic level or highway functional class at which results are not meaningful)? 19
Moving Forward PEAT will become an integral part of the new Integrated Highway Inventory System. Will be able to easily gather information from Pavement Management System Bridge Management System Maintenance Information Traffic and Accident Information Mapping 20
