Renumber Asset or Change Asset Facility

There will be times when assets need to be renumbered. For example, when assets are sold or auctioned, you may still want to retain the costs for that asset at least until the end of the year.

Some state and federal regulations require vehicle information to be kept for up to five years. For these reasons, RTA recommends that vehicles be renumbered and moved to another facility rather than being deleted from the system.

Assets can be renumbered in the following ways using the “Manage Asset” button on the Asset info banner in RTA:
