10. 10 Breakdown of Maintained Centerline Miles by Agency in California California’s 58 counties and 480 cities maintain 141,235 centerline miles of highways (82% of the state’s total)

11. 11 California’s Pavement Condition Index (PCI) 200868 201066 (At Risk) 202054 (if funding remains the same) The unfunded backlog will double from $39.1 billion to $63.6 billion 71-80 (good) 50-70 (at risk) 25-49 (poor)

12. 12

13. 13 What Is Needed $70.5 billion over the next 10 years to bring the PCI to BMP or most cost effective condition $2.3 billion will be needed annually to maintain the BMP conditions once it is achieved $3.1 billion is needed to maintain the existing conditions …….. More than TWICE the current level of funding at $1.42 billion/year

14. 14 What shall (or can) be done ? To even simply maintain the existing condition for our investment, valued at $271 billion, we NEED MORE MONEY 1)Efforts by the California Transportation Commission (CTC) 2)The newly, soon to be formed, Stakeholders Working Group 3)The federal transportation reauthorization bill 4)Regional transportation sales taxes, etc The squeaky wheel gets the grease

15. 15 Adapting to New Economic Realities Changing the red tape to red carpet More targeted and focused application for competitive funds Forming inter-jurisdictional collaborative Using economy-of-scale in delivering projects Innovate funding sources (PPP, tolling, etc) Technological breakthroughs
