Washingtons airport system represents a tremendous capital investment and plays a critical role in the economic health of the state. As this system has aged, the upkeep of the existing pavements has become increasingly important. Therefore, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Aviation maintains a statewide airport pavement management system (APMS) to provide the airports, the State, and the FAA with the pavement information and analytical tools that can help them identify pavement-related needs, optimize the selection of projects and treatments over a multi-year period, and evaluate the long-term impacts of decisions made regarding the Washington airport pavement infrastructure. The principal objective for the APMS is to assess the relative condition of pavements for selected Washington airports in the Washington State Airport System Plan (WSASP) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS). The APMS can be used as a tool to identify system needs, make programming decisions for funding, provide information for legislative decision making, and assist local jurisdictions with planning decisions. |
