2016 State of the System Report
Today’s Discussion
• Transportation asset condition overview and recent trends
• Issues impacting conditions now and into the future
• Limitations of existing data availability
• PSRC’s maintenance and preservation planning work program
2016 State of the System Report
City & County Assets
2016 State of the System Report
Roadways – County Roads
2016 State of the System Report
Roadways – County Roads
2016 State of the System Report
• Limited information on the condition of city streets
• Inconsistent surveying timelines, methods, and metrics
• WSDOT arterial reporting requirement suspended
during recession
• National Highway System reporting only covers a
portion of the city network
Roadways – City Streets
2016 State of the System Report
• 773 local roadway bridges in region/
over 7.8 million square feet of deck
area
• Does not include short-span bridges
(<20ft.)
• 68 structurally deficient
• 293 functionally obsolete
Locally-Owned Bridges
2016 State of the System Report
Locally-Owned Bridges – Current Conditions
Snapshot

Note: Data excludes pedestrian, transit, railroad, ports, and park bridges
• Overall, the conditions of local
bridges in the region held steady
between 2014 and 2015
• Weight-restricted bridges
decreased since 2014 (32)
– 7 are on the NHS
• Nearly 30% of bridges are over
50 years old
Over 89% of
deck area in
good or fair
condition
2016 State of the System Report
• Convened to address the systemic issues impacting
county road and bridge conditions
– Annexations, property tax growth limitations, fuel tax purchasing
power
• Current $100 million budget can only address
immediate safety issues, stormwater requirements, and
modest preservation investments
• Without additional departmental resources, 35 bridges
will close and 72 miles of roadway will be restricted due
to safety issues
• Recommendations on revenue, infrastructure,
efficiency, future study, and outreach
King County Bridges & Roads Task Force
2016 State of the System Report
• Annual snapshots of pavement and bridge conditions are good indicators of
short-term conditions and past performance
• Available metrics do not highlight systemic issues that will lead to degraded
performance over time
• Long-term measures focus on future conditions as a function of projected
funding
– Preservation backlog
– Remaining service life
– Asset sustainability ratio
• Existing tools and approaches limit PSRC’s ability to perform forward looking
analyses on the future of the system and identify funding needs across
jurisdictions
City & County Preservation Metrics
2016 State of the System Report
State Highways
2016 State of the System Report
• 4,200 lane miles of state
highways in the region
• Conditions held steady between
2012 and 2014
• Connecting WA restores
pavement preservation funding
to adequate levels – will address
backlog and meet upcoming
needs cost-effectively
Roadways – State Highways

2016 State of the System Report
• 1,341 state highway bridges in region/
over 32 million square feet of deck
area
• Does not include short-span bridges
(<20ft.)
• 34 structurally deficient
• 451 functionally obsolete
State Highway Bridges
2016 State of the System Report
Highway Bridges – State Highways
• Conditions holding steady
between 2014 and 2015
• Connecting WA provided
resources to address past-due
needs and wave of upcoming
bridge preservation and painting
projects

Status of Seismic Retrofit Program
• Lifeline network of major highways
throughout the region
• $678M of needs in Puget Sound with $10M
per biennium identified in 10-Year Financial
Plan - would take until the end of the century
• WSDOT focusing on lower cost routes to
preserve lifeline system – does not include I-5
through Seattle
• No additional resources allocated in
Connecting WA package

I-5 Preservation Needs
• Some of the oldest Interstate pavements in the state - Looming $2 billion
investment to replace I-5 through the region
– Priority for new Connecting WA preservation funding
• Over 200 bridges, many of which are in fair condition now, but need to be
planned for as they age (2 structurally deficient, 53 functionally obsolete)
• 184 sliding metal expansion joints in King County alone
• $435 million in seismic retrofit needs through Seattle that are not currently
being prioritized due to the high costs
• There is great need for an I-5 action plan that accounts for both
preservation and improvement needs throughout the corridor.
2016 State of the System Report
Connecting Washington Revenue Package
Gray Notebook, #60
• Provided additional
$1.2 billion in highway
preservation funding
over 16 years
• I-5 paving is a priority
• Future allocations
between asset types
are subject to
continuous inspections
and condition surveys

Fish Passage Barriers
2016 State of the System Report
Culverts & Fish Passage Barriers – Overview
• State program began in 1991
• Staffed by Dept. of Fish & Wildlife
& WSDOT
• 2013 Supreme Court decision
requiring WSDOT to accelerate
fish-passage barrier correction in
“case area”
• Stand-alone projects or integrated
with existing transportation
investments
2013 Supreme Court “Case Area”
2016 State of the System Report
Culverts & Fish Passage Barriers – Progress
• Addressed 291 of 1,976 identified fish-passage
barriers (statewide)
• Roughly 465 miles of upstream habitat gained using
dedicated fish passage barrier removal funding
• 13 projects completed in 2015 (4 in PSRC region) that
opened up roughly 40 miles of additional habitat
2016 State of the System Report
Culverts & Fish Passage Barriers - Funding
• Funded by pre-existing WSDOT resources and
dedicated TPA revenues
• Program received additional $300 million through
Connecting WA package
• Provides near-term boost and stabilizes long-term
funding

Transit Asset Management Plans
• Required under MAP-21
• Will include full asset inventory and condition assessment
• Project prioritization
• Performance measures, target setting, and monitoring
• Regional targets & future condition assessments in long-range plan

Washington State Ferries - Vessels
• 24 vessel fleet
• 5% increase in number of systems
that do not need replacement –
largely due to new vessel
• Over 91% of vessel value is
currently not in need of
replacement
• Connecting WA provided funding
for one new jumbo class vessel
but long-term funding for vessel
replacement remains an issue

Washington State Ferries - Terminals
• Statewide – terminal conditions
improved slightly between 2013 and
2014
• Landing aids rank as the worst condition
of all terminal elements
• WSF carries both a vessel and terminal
preservation backlog

Summary & Looking Ahead
2016 State of the System Report
Summary
• Available near-term performance measures indicate local conditions are
modestly improving or declining - varies across jurisdictions based on local
funding limitations and opportunities
• Comprehensive and consistent data collection is necessary to capture city
pavement conditions
• The region needs to establish an approach that measures future performance
of the local system as a function of financial health
• Connecting WA provided much needed funding to address state highway
conditions, but neglected pressing needs at cities and counties
2016 State of the System Report
Summary
• The region and state need to evaluate and prioritize I-5 preservation needs with a
particular focus on pavement preservation and seismic retrofits
• Better information on transit asset condition is forthcoming
• Fish-passage barrier removal program has re-opened hundreds of miles of fish
habitat, and is well-funded into the near future
• Ferry conditions are holding steady, yet new funding will be needed to address
long-term vessel replacement needs

What Do We Need More Information On?
Sidewalks & ADA Accessibility
Retaining Walls Operations Infrastructure
Stairwells
Bicycle Infrastructure
Stormwater City Streets
2016 State of the System Report
PSRC & Maintenance & Preservation Planning
• MAP-21 implementation
• Continuous and consistent data collection where available
• Pushing to fill data gaps where they exist
• Leveraging capabilities of other agencies
• Integrating maintenance and preservation planning across
modal efforts
• Elevating the importance of funding maintenance and
preservation and how it is paid for
• Developing new cost models for future needs
• What types of issues would the Transportation Policy
Board like to see addressed in the update and moving
forward?
