Determining Bay Area Street and Road Maintenance Needs. Volume 2: Backlog Costs

摘要

This is the second of two reports which provide information on local street and road conditions for the 93 cities and 9 counties in the San Francisco Bay Area. These reports were prepared by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission in response to a concern by local public works and engineering officials that the amount of funds being spent for maintenance is inadequate and that the streets and roads are deteriorating. This second report documents how much deterioration has occurred because of the lack of preventive maintenance, and how much it will cost to correct the problem. The costs to bring the roads back to an acceptable standard are called 'backlog' costs.
