摘要: A unique support relationship for a local agency pavement management system (PMS) was established in the San Francisco Bay Area. The activities included were developed to address local agency institutional issues that have often led to discontinuing the use of pavement management or to not using it fully. These issues include personnel turnover, overcommitted staff, perceived complexity of PMS, and limited funds for pavement maintenance and rehabilitation. Since 1984 the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), the regional transportation planning agency for the San Francisco Bay Area, has supported the development and use of PMS by cities and counties in its region. During the past 9 years, 55 jurisdictions, representing more than 60% of the street and road centerline miles in the region, have been at some stage in the implementation and use of the Bay Area PMS. MTC trains jurisdictions in PMS concepts, PMS computer applications, and interpretation of PMS budget results. MTC conducts quarterly user meetings at which jurisdictions not only give direction to MTC staff on future modifications to PMS but also work with one another to assist in PMS implementation. If requested, MTC PMS staff present PMS budget results to participating jurisdictions to emphasize the importance of pavement management. MTC's continued support and facilitation have been major factors contributing to the success of pavement management at the local level in the San Francisco Bay Area. This regional agency involvement is believed to be one of the most important innovations to counter common institutional problems that often prevent adoption or effective use of PMS in local agencies.
