• What are pavement conditions statewide?
• How much will it cost to maintain pavements?
Bridges? Essential components?
• What is the funding shortfall?
• What is impact of different funding scenarios?
Study Objectives

3. Local Streets Huge Part of State Network
81% of California’s
pavements are owned
by cities and counties!

92% of total miles

5. New Things in 2012 Assessment
• Sustainable practices
• Complete streets
• Bridge scenarios

6. RTPA
RCTF
Pavements

7. Average Statewide PCI
67.8 (2008)
65.8 (2012)
68 (Cities)
62 (Counties)

8. Statewide Average PCI = 66
This doesn’t look too bad …

9. So Why is 66 Critical?

10. Statewide Trends
2008
71- 80 (Good)
50-70 (At Risk)
0 -49 (Poor)
Pavement Condition Index
2012
87% of counties
have average
rating of “at risk”
or “poor”

11. Prev. Maint. Costs Increasing

12. AC Overlay Costs Increasing

Bridges

15. Who Owns Bridges? National Bridge Inventory
• 11,863 bridges
• 6,300 are on-system
• 5,584 off-system
Non-NBI bridges
Approx. 3,500

16. Bridges Are Getting Old
55% require
rehabilitation
or replacement

17. It’s Not Just Roads and Bridges
• Sidewalks
• Curb ramps
• Curb & gutter
• Storm drains
• Street lights
• Signs
• Retaining walls

19. Pavement Funding Scenarios
1. Existing funding ($1.33 billion/year)
2. Transportation CA measure ($1B/yr)
a. Bond i.e. $4.23 billion/year for first 5
years, $1.33 billion for next 5 years
b. No bond i.e. $2.33 billion/year
3. Maintain current PCI at 66
4. Efficiency scenario
5. Best mgmt practices

20. 1. Existing Funding ($1.33 B/year)
PCI drops to 53
Unfunded backlog grows to $66 B

21. 2a. No bond ($2.33 B/year)
PCI drops to 60
Unfunded backlog grows to $50 B

22. 2b. Bond ($4.2B/$1.3B)
$37.5 $37.5 $37.7 $38.7 $37.4
$40.0 $41.5 $42.3 $43.5

Scenario 2b. Transportation BondPCI drops to 63
Unfunded backlog grows to $45 B

23. 3. Maintain PCI = 66 ($3.2 B/year)
PCI stays at 66
Unfunded backlog stays at ~$39 B

24. 4. Efficiencies ($4.1 B/yr)
PCI improves to 71
Unfunded backlog drops to $30 B

25. 5. BMP ($7.2 B/year)

What’s “failed” condition?

31. Average Sufficiency Rating
Existing budget will result in
SR = 75

32. Percent Structurally Deficient
Existing budget will result in
38% structurally deficient
bridges.

33. Tehama County

35. Conclusions
• Transportation system is not great and it’s not
getting better
– 25% of roads will be failed in 10 years
– 38% of bridges will be structurally deficient
• Additional funding required to hold infrastructure
together
• Deferring repairs will cost much more later!

36. Conclusions
• Delays in funding will cost
