A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON,
CALIFORNIA, SUPORTING THE FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
OF THE CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE LOCAL STREETS AND ROADS
NEEDS ASSESSMENT
WHEREAS, cities and counties have jurisdiction over 81% of the roads in California,
where every trip begins and ends; and
WHEREAS, while federal and state governments regularly assess their streets and roads
system needs, no such data existed for the local component of the state's transportation network;
and
WHEREAS, the study surveyed all of California's 58 counties and 478 cities in FY 2007-
08, which resulted in capturing data from more than 93% of the state's local streets and roads;
and
WHEREAS, the results show that California's local streets and roads need significant
attention. On a scale of zero (failed) to 100 (excellent), the statewide average pavement
condition index (PCI) is 68, placing it in the "at risk" category; and
WHEREAS, if current funding remains the same, the statewide condition is projected to
deteriorate to a PCI of 58 in 10 years, and further, to a PCI of 48 ( "poor" category) by the year
2033; and
WHEREAS, even more critical, the unfunded backlog will be more than double, from
$37,000,000,000.00 to $79,000,000,000.00, by the year 2033; and
WHEREAS, in order to bring the local streets and roads system back into a cost - effective
condition, with the least impact on traveling public and commerce, thereby preserving the
public's $271,000,000,000.00 pavement investment and stopping further costly deterioration, at
least $7,000,000,000.00 annually in new funding going directly to cities and counties is needed.
