• Abstract:
  Successful 4-year pavement management plans help provide the traveling public with a safe, comfortable, and reliable roadway network. Each maintenance section plays a role in executing an effective 4-year pavement management plan. To continue to improve the statewide system and get the most value out of fiscally constrained budgets, pavement management plan best practices are needed. Many best practices exist within Texas and are captured as part of this research project. Promoting teamwork and communication at all levels within a district ensures pavement management plans are developed and deployed effectively. Acknowledging that district seal coat projects and seal coat preparations serve as the cornerstone for long-term pavement management success is a key ingredient. For overlay and rehabilitation projects, properly scoring and prioritizing projects helps ensure plan success. Project success is required to improve plan success, and building a preliminary project scope during early project rides and connecting that scope with additional testing needs helps districts transition from plan success to project success to pavement management success.
