DRAFT 2010-2013 STATEWIDE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM <br />Table 3 -Oregon Highway Pavement <br />Condition Goals <br /> of Highway to <br />Type of Highway be Maintained <br /> in Fair or Better <br /> Condition <br />Interstate Hi hwa s 90% <br />State Hi hwa s 85% <br />*Re 'opal Hi hwa s 75% <br />**District Hi hwa s 65% <br />Overall 78% <br />*Pavement work on Regional and District <br />highways with ADT of less than 5,000 vehi- <br />cles is funded through Maintenance pro- <br />grams that are not included in the STIP. <br />**District highways received an additional <br />$70 million in bonding proceeds from the <br />2001 Oregon Transportation Investment <br />Act, which temporarily raised their condi- <br />tion rating. <br />Preservation funds are distributed among <br />ODOT regions based on the estimated re- <br />sources needed to meet condition goals. The <br />Pavement Management System is used to <br />forecast miles of highway treatments needed <br />in each region to meet the goals for each <br />class of roadway. <br />The PMS monitors current conditions and <br />forecasts future pavement conditions on <br />state highways. The system relies on com- <br />puter programs, field inspection, and con- <br />struction cost data for forecasting pavement <br />conditions and estimating the cost to pre- <br />serve pavement conditions. The PMS helps <br />managers choose the most beneficial in- <br />vestment projects. n <br />ODOT regions use the information from the <br />PMS and local knowledge about regional <br />priorities to develop afour-year preservation <br />program. Pavement condition is the main <br />factor used in selecting candidate projects, <br />but the level of usage of the specific section <br />of highway also is factored into the analysis. <br />The goal in each region is to meet or exceed <br />the target condition rating for the highway <br />classifications in each region. All preserva- <br />tion projects must meet the Project Eligibil- <br />ity Criteria and Prioritization Factors ap- <br />proved by the OTC for the STIP cycle in <br />which they are programmed. These criteria <br />are listed on page 214 of this document. <br />For more information about the Pavement <br />Preservation Program, ca11503-986-3119, or <br />go online: <br />htta://www. ore~on. aov/ODOT/HWY/CONS <br />TRUTION/pavement management svs.sht <br />ml. <br />Public Transit <br />ODOT's Public Transit Division (PTD) ad- <br />ministers state and federal grant programs <br />that are used to pay for operating local tran- <br />sit districts, local government transit ser- <br />vices, and private transit organizations that <br />provide services to residents and visitors of <br />the State of Oregon. Programs include sup- <br />port to communities for general public tran- <br />sit, transportation for seniors and people <br />with disabilities, intercity bus service, and <br />travel options programs. Discretionary capi- <br />tal funding for building transit facilities and <br />purchasing equipment is available through a <br />comprehensive project application, review, <br />and selection process. <br />The Public Transit Division makes grants <br />available to support transit operations using <br />federal and state funds. Generally, only fed- <br />erally funded projects are programmed in <br />the STIP. The Division also administers the <br />state's Mass Transit Vehicle Replacement <br />Program. The Division coordinates federal <br />funding distribution to Oregon's six MPOs <br />for public transportation planning and opera- <br />tions in urban areas. FTA also may award <br />grants to transit providers in MPOs. <br />Page 20 <br />
