Maintain infrastructure asset system

Maintain the highway infrastructure asset system in a state of good repair

Each of the goals in a metropolitan or statewide transportation plan is supported by one or more 'objectives' that define what needs to occur to accomplish the goal. The objectives define what a region plans to achieve and help to determine the strategies and investments that will be included in the transportation plan. In practice, objectives range from high-level regional statements to specific, measurable, time-bound "SMART" objectives. A range of objectives are included in the Architecture Reference for Cooperative and Intelligent Transportation (ARC-IT), gathered from a variety of references and recent transportation plans, that reflect the spectrum of objectives that are used in current practice. The objectives identified below support the identified goal. Select an objective to identify its source, associated performance measures, and the service packages that support the objective.

Objective Category	Objective
Preservation: Preserve Existing Infrastructure	Distressed pavement condition lane-miles not to exceed X percent of total state highway system
Preservation: Preserve Existing Infrastructure	Enhance asset and resource management
Preservation: Preserve Existing Infrastructure	Maintain pavement condition index (PCI) of X or greater for local streets and roads
Preservation: Preserve Existing Infrastructure	Percentage of NHS bridges in Good condition to exceed X percent
Preservation: Preserve Existing Infrastructure	Percentage of NHS bridges in Poor condition not to exceed X percent
Preservation: Preserve Existing Infrastructure	Percentage of pavements in Good condition to exceed X percent of the Interstate System
Preservation: Preserve Existing Infrastructure	Percentage of pavements in Good condition to exceed X percent of the non-Interstate NHS
Preservation: Preserve Existing Infrastructure	Percentage of pavements in Poor condition not to exceed X percent of the Interstate System
Preservation: Preserve Existing Infrastructure	Percentage of pavements in Poor condition not to exceed X percent of the non-Interstate NHS
Preservation: Preserve Existing Infrastructure	Reduce commercial vehicle size and weight violations
Preservation: Transit Maintenance	Enhance garage operations efficiency
Preservation: Transit Maintenance	Increase the average number of miles between service calls for transit service in the region to X miles

Architecture Use

Like the goals, the transportation objectives of the region should be a driving input for the regional ITS architecture. By connecting the objectives with the architecture, transportation planners can easily identify the portion of the integrated regional transportation system that supports each objective. Conversely, ITS architectures and strategic plans can help planning organizations define operations objectives that reflect data that is available and the expertise of operations staff. The RAD-IT Planning Tab can be used to connect your region's objectives with your regional ITS architecture. If your regional ITS architecture does not include this connection, the links between the objectives and ARC-IT defined in this planning view may be used as a starting point.
