Comparative Evaluation of Deflection and Wave Propagation Nondestructive Testing Methods for Pavements: Implications for Implementation at State and Local Levels (Excerpts)

Final Report

<p>In New York City, as in other highly urbanized areas, several factors make it too difficult to apply pavement management systems methodology in the traditional way. Two of those factors are: underground utilities and utility cuts; together, they are the two most significant life-limiting factors for NYC pavements. Non-Destructive testing (NDT) techniques such as the Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) have been successfully used to evaluate the conditions of rural pavements.

Evaluation of the NJDOT Transportation Management Association Grant Program

The NJDOT TMA Grant Program gives qualified TMAs up to $400,000 annually to carry out traffic reduction and clean air initiatives. These dollars have funded the implementation of important national and state mandates. They have given the TMAs a stable financial base, diminishing the need for private funds. These subsidies however, have necessarily moved the TMAs away from a private focus. Consequently, the TMAs have less motivation to champion the needs of their private and local constituents.
