10. April 25, 2008 District Engineer Presentation 10 Summary  19,088 signs replaced statewide in 2007  57 percent of annual target  Districts 4, 7 and 8 with sign management systems are up to date  Other districts still struggling to meet 8 percent annual target due to lack of staff; increasing number of new signs/replacement of damaged/vandalized signs  State-wide backlog increased slightly (approximately 9,000 signs from 2006 to 2007 which is about 2% of total signs)

11. April 25, 2008 District Engineer Presentation 11 Analysis  Longer life cycle of new prismatic sheeting (VIP and DG3 15+ years) compared to HI sheeting (12 years)  Number of new/vandalized signs has been stabilize since 2005  Making good progress in SignTrack implementation. Need to focus on data population over next year.  Gap between target and what can be accomplished within budget and staff continues to grow. New dollars may help this situation.  Cost to maintain signing asset will continue to rise (material and labor costs)  1/2 % annual growth of new signs statewide

12. April 25, 2008 District Engineer Presentation 12 Financial Impact - HSOP $4.6 million needed annually for next four years to eliminate the backlog, replace old interstate signs and keep pace with system growth $4.6 million needed annually for next four years to eliminate the backlog, replace old interstate signs and keep pace with system growth  $3.0 million (materials and installation costs) to bring 14% statewide backlog of aging signs up to 12 year replacement cycle  $1.0 million for interstate sign replacement (signs 15- 20 yrs old in Districts 1, 3 and 6). Note that $4.0 million has been programmed for FY 08-11 (I-35, I-90 and I-94)  $0.6 million (materials and installation costs) for.5% annual growth in sign system statewide

13. 13 SignTRACK Project Status Over the past year:  All districts have received training, laptops and handheld GPS devices with bluetooth communications. Training for D7 is scheduled to occur after their upcoming data migration to SignTrack.  All existing data has been converted to SignTrack in D1, D4, and D8. D7 should be completed by June, 2008.  D2, D3 and D6 have been populating the database and sign library over the winter and have made good progress.  Metro still plans on issuing an RFP for data collection dependent on available funding.  Sample crystal reports have been developed and are out for review with a test group of SignTrack users.  The first iteration of the Mobile Map application will be distributed to a test group in early May.  Working with vendor on enhancements ($20K needed).  Permanent SignTrack Application Administrator’s position will be filled by June (hopefully)!

14. April 25, 2008 District Engineer Presentation 14 Signing Recommendation  Continue to use percentage of signs replaced to meet 12 year cycle as one performance measure  Continue to use percentage of signs over 12 years old to measure “Overall Sign System Condition”  SignTrack:  Continue with SignTrack implementation and development of business practices.  Convert D7 data and continue data population in all districts.  Fund Metro’s data collection ($700,000).  Pursue SignTrack enhancements as identified  Fill permanent SignTrack Administrator Position  Continue to use capital program to replace interstate signs
