Compass 2007 data analysis and reporting - operational report

Abstract

The Compass program collects rating data each year to help the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) understand current infrastructure conditions and trends. The data also helps WisDOT managers set reasonable maintenance targets that reflect department priorities and respond to limited resources. To ensure that maintenance targets are consistently reflected in work programs around the state, these priorities are shared with the WisDOT regions to help structure the Routine Maintenance Agreements with counties. To evaluate the maintenance target setting process, existing conditions are compared to their target levels to see if the annual goals were met or exceeded.
