Program Update Gary Hoffman, P.E.
Topics • Partnering Efforts • PennDOT’s Strategic Focus Areas • PennDOT’s Infrastructure Needs • PennDOT’s Program • Federal Reauthorization
Partnering Efforts • Quarterly Meetings • Pursuing Consistency • Expand Constructability Reviews • Improving ECMS • Managing Letting Schedule • Implementing Innovation
PennDot’s Strategic Focus Areas • System Preservation • Management and Productivity • Quality of Life • Mobility • Safety
System Preservation “Maintenance First” Bridge Structural Adequacy • Reduce number of structurally deficient bridges • PA’s structurally deficient bridges = 22% • National average for structurally deficient = 10% • Goal = match the national average within 20 yrs • Increase bridge preservation • Target: $350 M/year for rehab/replacement $100 M/year for preservation • Current Bridge Expenditure $300M
Infrastructure Needs MAKING THE CASE FOR SYSTEM PRESERVATION
Pennsylvania’s Highway & Bridge Needs • Highway Pavement: • 6 Year Needs $ 18.0 Billion • 6 Year Available Funds $ 13.2 Billion • Gap $ 4.8 Billion • Bridges: • 6 Year Needs $ 3.3 Billion • 6 Year Available Funds $ 1.8 Billion • Gap $ 1.5 Billion • 6 Year Funding GAP $ 6.3 Billion
2003 System PreservationInternational Roughness Index (IRI) GoodFairPoor Interstate 64% 29% 7% NHS(Non-interstate) 59% 30% 11% Non-NHS > 2000 ADT 63% 25% 12%
Pavement DeteriorationCurve Pavement Preservation • Programming Preservation Treatments for roads at key times will extend the life of the road greatly
Proposed Statewide Goal • Improve all “POOR” NHS and Interstate miles • Focus on Preservation instead of reconstruction to keep the good roads good
System Preservation Pennsylvania Bridge Facts • Median Age > 50 yrs • Average Life Span – 50 yrs • Average Cost/Bridge - $1.25M $1.25M X 9352 deficient bridges = $11.7 B
Trend in Structurally Deficient BridgesPENNDOT Bridges > 8 ft. $150M/yr $300M/yr $450M/yr Local Bridges > 20 ft = 26.9% in 2003
Proposed Statewide Goal • Reduce Structurally Deficient Bridges to the National Average of 10% by 2024 • Bridge preservation can reduce rehabilitation and replacement requirements
Improve Bridge Management • Designate Bridge “Champion” (Craig Beissel) • Rebuild Legacy BMS System • Participate in National Effort for Robust Bridge Asset Management System • Bridge Bill Legislation
Bridge NeedsAsset Management • Preservation - Fix leaky joints (expansion dams) - Fix beam ends, bearings and supports - Bridge Painting - Deck patching/replacement - Other

Federal Reauthorization (?) • 5 short term extensions • 8 mos. through May 2005 • Current extend ($36.8 + $1.8 B) • Funding guarantees and firewalls • Nothing during “lame duck” • Reintroduced late-winter/early spring
Federal Reauthorization (?) • Size Of Appropriation • “Growth” of Appropriation Over Time • Distribution Mechanism • Earmarks • Categorization/Flexibility • Speak With “One Voice”
SIX YEAR PROGRAM (Pennsylvania’s Estimated Funding) Federal Reauthorization 20% vs. 40%
