Transportation Safety Information Management System
An AASHTOWare Joint Software Development Project
TSASS provided facilitator services to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) in the definition and development of software that is part of the AASHTOWare suite of programs.  This software provides state and local governmental agencies with an interface between a wide range of transportation safety data capture and analysis tools, as well as legacy data systems within the agency, while providing a common interface for the sharing of application tools and data.

Roadway Inventory and Linear Referencing System Standard
An AASHTO Standards Development Project
As a cooperative effort between FHWA and AASHTO, and in support of the TSIMS effort, a project was formed to develop a standard for roadway inventory and linear referencing systems.  This project, lead by AASHTO with funding support from FHWA, relies upon an advisory group from various state, federal and local agencies around the U.S. to provide guidance and consensus to the development effort.  At key points within the project,  open meetings where others with an interest in the effort were given the opportunity to address the working group.
