Infrastructure Condition
The National Highway Performance Program provides support for the condition and performance of the National Highway System, for the construction of new facilities, and to ensure that investments of federal-aid funds in highway construction are directed to support progress toward the achievement of performance targets established in a state's asset management plan for the National Highway System.
The Pavement and Bridge Condition Performance Measures Final Rule was published on January 18, 2017 with a rule effective date of May 20, 2017. The Colorado Department of Transportation was required to set first round targets by May 20, 2018, and DRCOG had until November 16, 2018 to report its targets to CDOT.
CDOT is required to set two-year and four-year targets; however, DRCOG is only required to set four-year targets. DRCOG can agree to support CDOT's targets or establish its own specific to the region.
The DRCOG Board elected to continue to support CDOT’s pavement and bridge condition targets.
