Welcome to the landing page of the Subcommittee on Risk Management.

Risk encompasses the uncertain impacts, both positive and negative, on agency objectives.

The Subcommittee on Risk Management provides an opportunity for collaboration concerning best practices in risk management and concentrates on equipping state transportation agencies with tools and strategies to leverage opportunities and address potential threats.

This includes aligning risk management with performance metrics to identify factors that may impede or enhance the achievement of established goals.
