Projected Funding & Highway Conditions Area Commission on Transportation Gary Farnsworth ODOT Interim Region 4 Manager March, 2011
Overview ODOT is facing funding reductions that will require new strategies to preserve the highway system Today, I will describe: Projected ODOT program size through h 2015 Bridge and highway conditions, funding, and preservation strategies t Other highway issues (safety, culverts, slides) ODOT s Asset Management efforts
ODOT Construction Program (2000-15) $800 $700 $600 $ Million ns $500 $400 $300 $200 $100 $0 2000 2002 2004 2006 2008 2010 2012 2014 STIP OTIA I/II OTIA III ARRA JTA
Bridge Conditions Bridge conditions will significantly deteriorate over the next several decades The largest portion of our bridges were built prior to 1970 1,500 bridges will reach the end of their design life by 2020 27% are one point away from federal 27% are one point away from federal structural deficiency rating
Bridge Funding The State Bridge Program has historically been funded below the level needed to maintain current conditions One consequence has been the need for significant bond funding OTIA III bond program allowed for significant catch-up on key freight routes Still declining federal revenues have reduced Still, declining federal revenues have reduced bridge funding
Bridge Funding. OTIA III bond debt repayments will require further reductions to the Bridge Program Funding levels for 2012-15 are the lowest since the mid-1990s Inflation has further reduced purchasing power
STIP Bridge Funding (2008-2015) $100 $90 $80 $ Million ns $70 $60 $50 $40 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015

Bridge Preservation Strategies Protect high value coastal, historic, major river crossings, and border structures by acting before cost becomes prohibitive Use Practical Design and fund only basic bridge rehabs and rare replacements with bridge funds Give priority to maintaining the highest priority freight corridors to ensure efficient freight movement
Bridge Preservation Strategies Continue Developing bridge preventive maintenance program to extend the service life of decks and other components Continue to raise awareness of the lack of seismic preparation Bi th 68 t t ll d fi i tl l Bring the 68 structurally deficient low volume structures currently in Poor Condition to Fair Condition using a partial rehab scope of work (1R type strategy)
Bridge Preservation Strategies Use bridge inspection, health monitoring, and improved deterioration prediction methods to better anticipate future bridge conditions
Pavement System Conditions Pavement conditions will significantly deteriorate over the next decade Declining federal funds have resulted in cuts to Preservation funding Inflation has reduced purchasing power since the mid-1990s

Statewide Pavement Strategies Revaluate budget split between Interstate and non-interstate systems Look at adding statewide highways under 5,000 ADT to low volume program Consider doing more partial pavement restorations with our Interstate program Pursue a multi-lift pavement 1R (practical) Pursue a multi lift pavement 1R (practical) strategy with Federal Highway Admin.
Statewide Pavement Strategies Implement more low cost 1R and chip seal type treatments on system Focus pavement $ s on pavements only. Seek exceptions on some 3R projects Leverage other programs to do additional pavement preservation on the system Implement other strategies as determined Implement other strategies as determined by a life-cycle costs analysis

Highway Needs Culverts 31% of assessed culverts were in Poor or Critical condition Annual gap between needs and funding is $77 million
Highway Needs Slides & Rockfall Managing unstable slopes is important for public safety, mobility, and the economy Current funding of $7.4 million per year = 25 years to address immediate need sites More feasible level of $15 million per year = 12 years to address immediate need sites
Highway Needs Traffic Safety Fatal crashes are down ~10% from 2009 (total t fatalities ~14%. 6th consecutive year of drops, lowest numbers since 1944. 37 Pedestrian Fatals in 2009 (lowest since early 1940 s), but 2010 similar to last decade (56+) Less 3R pavement projects means less automatic ti replacement/update t of safety features (signs, markers, guardrail, etc.)

Summary The system is in decline with reduced funding A more deteriorated system is more expensive to maintain New strategies will lesson the decline in the short term Investing funds in these new strategies will have strategy benefits
