About AASHTOWare Bridge Management
AASHTOWare Bridge Management (BrM) was first developed under an NCHRP project sponsored by the FHWA in the early 1990s, then transferred to AASHTO for ongoing development, maintenance, and support. Over 30 years, BrM has seen dramatic improvements — and most importantly, direct user feedback — as it remains the primary bridge management software for agencies across the U.S. and internationally.
Bridge Management
For over 30 years, AASHTOWare Bridge Management has been widely used as the primary bridge management software for transportation agencies across the United States and internationally. The software is owned and maintained by AASHTO — a nonprofit, nonpartisan association representing the highway and transportation departments of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
BrM is a key product in the AASHTOWare software suite and has seen dramatic improvements since its initial release in 1990. Like all AASHTOWare products, it is enterprise software designed by transportation professionals for transportation professionals.
Management & oversight
AASHTOWare's efforts are headed by a Task Force of state bridge engineering and information technology professionals. Partnered with ProMiles, the Task Force manages the product on behalf of AASHTO and the user community, ensuring continued development, maintenance, and support meets the needs of state and local agencies, governmental organizations, and private consultants. Its objectives include:
- Strategic planning for the continuous evolution of the product
- Soliciting and facilitating feedback from the user community
- Grooming and incorporating that feedback into product features
- Creating yearly operating plans with specific deliverables
- Overseeing the product development life cycle for feature releases
- Ongoing collaboration with ProMiles across the product lifecycle
Active user community
The continued success of BrM is largely attributed to the ongoing involvement of its active user community. Licensed members participate in committees that keep the product innovative and high quality.
Annual user group meeting
AASHTO hosts an annual user group (BrMUG) meeting with presentations, training, and forums. Members guide the product, vote on future enhancements, and steer its continued growth.
