Accomplishment Reporting Accomplishment Reporting

ProgramProgram• Phase 1 includes Road Decommissioning (Both System

and Unauthorized Roads) and AOP.• We will likely have to move toward mandating use of

the Road Maintenance Planning Module (RMP) in the next few years.

• System Road Decommissioning is relatively easy – if we use RMP.

• Unauthorized roads are not required to be entered into Infra, nor placed on the GIS coverage.

• Watershed folks are tracking this in the Watershed Improvement Tracking (WIT) system.

• We need to work with watershed folks so we’re not duplicating effort.o They may already be putting these in GIS.o Consider allowing them to enter the tabular data in Infra.

New Random Sample New Random Sample

MethodologyMethodology• For the last few years we have reporting DM on

just Passenger Car Roads• Sean Puckett with the Volpe Center helped

develop a new methodology for this.• Only Sample Passenger Car Roads.• 340 segments• Stratified by Region based on proportion of PC

system in that region.
