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

Note: Data excludes railroad and pedestrian bridges

Over 91% of

deck area in

good or fair

condition

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

2016 State of the System Report

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

2016 State of the System Report

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

2016 State of the System Report

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

2016 State of the System Report

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?
