Publication details: Transportation Research Record, 2001Description: nr 1747, s. 123-8Subject(s): Bibl.nr: VTI P8167:1747Location: Abstract: In June 1999 the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued a reporting requirement that state and local governments show the value of the infrastructure assets that they own. The use of these guidelines is very controversial. However, most state statutes mandate that state and local agencies follow the guidelines. It is shown that the application of GASB Statement 34 is consistent with principles of good asset management. Data and procedures from the pavement management system for the city of Hopkins, Minnesota, are used to illustrate the application of the GASB requirements.| Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | |
