3 Background
Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) is the regional transportation authority over the nine Bay Area county region.
MTC is responsible for overseeing the Bay Area’s transportation network, including transportation planning, financing, coordination, and management.
MTC manages their Pavement Management Program (PMP) that local agencies can be certified through to qualify for regional discretionary funds.
Agencies typically look for certification/recertification every other year.
The City has historically participated in MTC’s PMP and received a pavement condition report, aka the Pavement Management Technical Assistance Program (PTAP) report.
4 Pavement Management Technical
Assistant Program (PTAP – 24)
The PTAP process includes:
• Quality Management Report outlining pavement condition assessment procedures. • Budget Options Report with various funding scenarios, current PCI, future projected PCI. • Five-year plan / recommendation tailored to the individual local agency. • PMP certification to qualify the local agency to apply for regional funding opportunities.

9 MTC’s Pavement Management Strategy
The Pavement Management Strategy is designed to focus on streets that require a lower-cost preventative maintenance, such as slurry seals, microsurfacing, and crack sealing, to extend the functional life.
This strategy is contrary to conventional wisdom of “worst-first”. However, this is a more cost-effective approach.
The budget and treatment recommendations described in the PTAP report follow this “best-first” approach.

• Good (100-70)
➢ Slurry Seal, Crack Seal, Etc
• Fair (Non-Load) (70-50)

• Fair (Load) (70-50)
➢ Thin Overlay (<2”)

➢ Full Reconstruction
Four Budget Scenarios
• Deferred Maintenance = $ amount of maintenance and rehabilitation work that should have been completed to maintain the street in ‘Good’ condition, but had to be deferred due to funding deficiencies
12 Budget Scenarios
13 Budget Scenarios
Scenario 1 – Unconstrained
• Implementing the investment strategy recommended by MTC’s Pavement Maintenance Program needs module
• Eliminates the “deferred maintenance” backlog as quickly as possible • Average Annual Budget = $19 million
14 Budget Scenarios
Scenario 2 – Current Investment Level
• Implementing the current investment strategy programmed into the CIP to maintain a 71 PCI
• Accumulates deferred maintenance
• Average Annual Budget = $4.5 million
15 Budget Scenarios
Scenario 3 – Increase PCI by 5
• Implements a funding scenario to increase the PCI by 5 points • Accumulates deferred maintenance
• Average Annual Budget = $8 million
16 Budget Recommendation
Current Proposed Street Resurfacing Funding
• Street Resurfacing budget covers design, inspection, construction, and administration *ADA Curb Ramp upgrades (CP 4283) is funded by Gas Tax ($220k) and TDA III ($80k) Revenue vs Expenses
• Scenario 1 = $4.7M - $19M = ($14.3M) Deficit
• Scenario 2 = $4.7M - $4.5M = $0.2M
• Scenario 3 = $4.7M - $8.0M = ($3.3M) Deficit
