Bill > SF1850

This bill establishes new pavement asset sustainability ratio (ASR) targets for Minnesota's transportation infrastructure. The bill requires the commissioner of transportation to calculate and report the ASR for pavements each fiscal year, using a formula that divides total mile years added by total system mileage, based on criteria in the Pavement Design Manual. Specifically, the department must achieve increasing ASR targets: at least 0.65 by 2027, 0.75 by 2029, and 0.85 by 2031 and in subsequent years. The commissioner must include these ASR results in the annual transportation system performance report, which will help track the state's progress in maintaining and improving its road infrastructure. By setting these progressive targets, the bill aims to ensure consistent and systematic improvement of Minnesota's pavement conditions over time, ultimately supporting better road quality and transportation infrastructure sustainability.
