The PMP is a management approach for prioritizing roadway pavement maintenance and rehabilitation activities. The PMP optimizes the allocation of maintenance and rehabilitation budgets based on pavement inspection data and uses software that calculates Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of City streets. The City's PMP assessment should be updated biennially and was most recently updated in 2018.
PCI is a measure of visual functional condition of pavement at a single point in time.
