3. Pavement Condition
16
• FHWA Collects Standard Condition Data for all NPS Parks
17
• Collected on Cycles • Parking Manually Rated • Four Condition Categories 18
The Surface Condition Rating (SCR) and Roughness Condition Index (RCI) are combined to define the Pavement Condition Rating (PCR):
60% SCR + 40% RCI = PCR
NER 2009 Network Condition
Excellent Condition = 95 to 100 PCR - Roads 8% or 36 Miles - Parking 7%
Good Condition = 85 to 94 PCR - Roads 42% or 193 Miles - Parking 23% (NER Goal is 85 PCR or Better)
Fair Condition = 61 to 84 PCR - Roads 29% or 135 Miles - Parking 35%
Poor Condition = 0 to 60 PCR - Roads 21% or 97 Miles - Parking 35%

7. Conclusions 37
Summary •Continue Pavement Management & Preservation Program •Increase Condition Data Collection Cycle •Preserve Investment Thru Increased Preservation •Focus - High Priority Roads - Where 80% of Visitors Travel •“Outside the White Lines” - Only as Necessary •Improve Highest Priority Visitor Parking •Limited Heavy 4R Construction if Funding Allows •Integrate Safety Countermeasure Priorities, Congestion Mitigation Priorities and Multi Modal Priorities
