2014 Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment Released

This week, the California State Association of Counties and the League of California Cities, along with local transportation stakeholders, released the 2014 Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment (LSR Report).  The LSR report is the only report of its kind that provides detailed analysis of the condition of our local transportation system.  The LSR Report finds that over the next ten years the local transportation system will have a $78.3 billion funding shortfall, compared to a $71.4 billion funding shortfall just six years ago.  Additionally, the report finds that over the next decade 25% of roads will be in a “failed” condition, meaning they are so far deteriorated they fall into a category deemed “failed” according to the Pavement Condition Index which provides standardized measurements for pavement conditions.  To see the condition of your county’s local streets and roads, view the LSR Report here.
