Asset Management Data for Washtenaw County

In 2002, the State of Michigan appointed an Asset Management Council to administer a new data collection process. This year marked the third time pavement rating data was collected for all federal-aid eligible roads in the State of Michigan. Data is collected using three person teams. The Washtenaw County team rated 913 miles of federal aid eligible roads in Washtenaw County in 2007.

The Pavement Surface Evaluation and Rating System (PASER) is used to assign a rating from "1" (failed road) to "10" (new road/complete reconstruction). The Washtenaw County information is combined with data from the entire state and a report is provided to the State Asset Management Council.

The 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007 data is available for each community. For each community there are ratings using descriptive categories from "Excellent" to "Failed." Possible improvements are shown in a Recommended Action graph, which shows the recommended action for the pavement based on the rating.
