10. Summary Observations
Condition of Federal Aid System has deteriorated every year for the past 5 years
The rate of deterioration is increasing
Great concern—deterioration of roads in fair condition
Stimulus dollars will help some, but . . .
No evidence that this trend is going to reverse itself

11. Summary Observations
Sample of non-federal aid roads indicates conditions worse than federal aid roads
State bridge condition improving
Local bridge conditions declining
The longer we wait – the more expensive it is

12. Opportunities More education
More complete local road pavement condition data
Possible legislation to expand focus of AM – HB 4962 and 4963
Predictive model results
