Summary:
This presentation was a case study and documentation of an urban county’s use of a pavement management system. The system is one of the oldest used in the Country. Data from the first ten years of the system was used in the Pothole Story published by APWA. Data will be presented on the impacts of improvements to the roadways over 20-year period. Demonstrations of how a pavement management system was used in practical terms and how it was applied to improve the county’s pavement will be provided. Information will be provided showing that keeping roadways in good shape is actually cheaper in the end.
