Pavement
Pavement Management is part of SEMCOG's Transportation Management System. Pavement Management is any tool or process that helps a road agency maintain a network of safe and serviceable pavements in a cost-effective manner.

Most pavement management systems are computerized systems that forecast pavement conditions and help determine the most appropriate maintenance schedule.

SEMCOG is a member of Michigan's Asset Management Council. This council promotes the concept that the transportation system is a “unified” whole rather than jurisdictional ownership. The Asset Management Council recommends an asset management strategy to the State Transportation Commission for all federal-aid eligible roads and/or bridges. 

The Pavement Management System ensures data collection, technical analysis, and planning processes which support SEMCOG's long-range transportaton plan.
