2. The things I would like to cover today as part of this peer exchange are: • MDOT’s approach to asset management • Using Asset Management to achieve MDOT’s pavement goals • Expanding Asset Management to all of Michigan’s federal aid system • Using Asset Management to identify Michigan’s funding needs

3. Michigan Department of Transportation Asset Management • MDOT takes an Asset Management approach to managing our complex transportation system and has been actively implementing asset management strategies for two decades. • Utilizing this approach MDOT established trunkline pavement and bridge goals in 1997 & 1998 • 95% of Freeways in good/fair condition by 2007 • 85% of Non-Freeways in good/fair condition by 2007

4. MDOT Approach to Meeting the Goals • A shift from a “worse first” strategy to doing the right fix at the right time • Template target of $450 million per year for pavement preservation • $360M Rehabilitation & Reconstruction • $90M Preventive Maintenance • Formula to establish Pavement funding distribution between regions (cost, condition, system size, AADT) • Publish a rolling Five Year Plan annually • Investment strategy for Highway Capital Program developed and tweaked along the way based on RQFS condition forecasting

5. MDOT2007 Pavement and Bridge Preservation Goals • Pavement Combined Freeway & Non-Freeway condition 92% good/fair in 2007 • Freeway 93% in 2007 • Non-Freeway 91% in 2007 • Bridge Combined Freeway & Non-Freeway condition 89% good/fair in 2008 • Freeway 88% in 2008 • Non-Freeway 89% in 2008

This is the result of Increasing costs and down trending revenues.

8. Transportation Asset Management Council • Includes representatives from State, Counties, Municipalities and Planning Organizations • Established in 2002 by Michigan Legislature • State and Locals working together • Promotes unified state and local transportation asset management in Michigan • Collect physical inventory and condition data on paved roads and bridges in Michigan • Establish pavement goals

9. MDOT and Locals Partner with Michigan Legislature • Michigan’s asset management process enabled us to develop goals, identify fix strategies, forecast condition, and report funding need.

10. Pavement Needs Identified in Legislative Report

12. Conclusion • Michigan has been using Asset Management for over two decades • Trusted and effective approach • Partnering with legislature to identify transportation infrastructure needs and revenue required to maintain our valuable asset
