State transportation agencies (STAs) across the country continue to face many challenges to repair and enhance roadway infrastructure. One of these challenges is the selection of agency staff. Data collected in the current work shows that between 2000 and 2010 the total lane-miles in the systems managed by these agencies increased by an average of 4.1%, whereas the in-house STA personnel available to manage these systems decreased by an average of 9.78% over the same time period. By any measure STAs are doing more work with fewer agency employees than they were 10 years ago. Some of these agency employees have been replaced with consultant personnel; however, 86.1% of the respondents to this synthesis survey indicated that they were doing more with fewer people than (they) were 10 years ago. Additional information on staffing levels and demographics from the responding states are described in chapter two. These statistics indicate that the allocation of human resources is critical in maintaining and improving the nation's roadway infrastructure system. This is especially true for agency employees in the area of construction, because construction projects represent a significant portion of a transportation agencies total budget. |
