Reduced budgets. Deteriorating infrastructure. Now more than ever, in the wake of the COVID-19 economic impact, making the most of your taxpayer resources is critical to the health of your road networks. Learn to use free web-based tools and calculators that were designed especially for road managers and public works officials to assist in making data-driven decisions for annual pavement maintenance and asset planning. RoadResource.org, the free and unbiased industry tool from PPRA, features resources for public works officials, including asset management calculators for preserving and maintaining roads, as well as downloadable communication tools that can be leveraged with taxpayers and elected officials. Join the builders of this resource as they walk through how-to’s such as optimizing life cycle cost, evaluating remaining service life, and prioritizing road projects through cost-benefit value; all in service to making the best use of taxpayer dollars. After nearly six years of research, planning and development among public works officials, experts in the pavement industry, and researchers in the field, these strategists have identified the important key traits, concepts, and approaches of the most successful road managers in North America, and leveraged them into these usable learning tools. At a time when infrastructure budgets are reduced, gas and sales tax revenues are down, yet costs and demands around pavement maintenance continue to climb– every road manager owes it to their taxpayers to push each dollar as far as it will go. These free tools can get you (and your decision-makers) where you need to be.
