Condition Estimation

TransAM uses a one to five rating scale to provide an assessment of the current physical conditions of existing transit assets. TransAM can use the condition ratings as an indicator of when assets require replacement. The scale is defined as follows:

Condition	Ratings	Description
Excellent	5.0	New asset; no visible defects.
Good	4.0	Asset showing minimal signs of wear; some (slightly) defective or deteriorated component(s).
Adequate	3.0	Asset has reached its mid-life; some moderately defective or deteriorated component(s).
Marginal	2.0	Asset reaching or just past the end of its useful life; increasing number of defective or deteriorated component(s) and increasing maintenance needs.
Poor	1.0	Asset is past its useful life and needs immediate repair or replacement; may have critically damaged components(s).
