Although all bridge management systems (BMSs) supply a tremendous amount of technical data on an owner's bridge inventory and can be valuable assets in recommending projects and programs, for other than the bridge engineer they fall short of measuring performance. Further, while providing a large amount of information on the condition of any one bridge or the system as a whole, BMSs are a tool based only on those performance measures an agency decides to monitor. For New Jersey, an older state with extremely large traffic volumes on its roads, bridge conditions are a subject of significant concern. As part of an overall exercise for developing a capital investment strategy, bridge staff at the New Jersey Department of Transportation worked with state metropolitan planning organizations; state capital programming, local government aid, and construction staff; and the Federal Highway Administration New Jersey Division Office staff. The objective was to develop a set of performance-based goals, objectives, and performance measures and to devise alternative investment scenarios as programming tools for policy makers for the state's bridges. In this way, the state developed its investment strategy for bridges by setting goals and objectives, measurable performance measures, and benchmarks. With the state BMS serving as a tool to determine the starting point and model various scenarios, a capital plan was developed that is currently driving state investments and focusing decision makers on the needs of the system rather than on individual projects.
