The Lincoln Trail Area Development District (LTADD) has launched a regional initiative to evaluate and document county road conditions using a consistent, data-driven approach.

Through ESRI’s Field Maps and ArcGIS tools, LTADD’s engineer and GIS specialist collect field data on pavement issues such as cracking, rutting, and potholes to assign standardized condition scores. This process promotes transparency, supports cost analysis, and helps counties prioritize repairs and plan long-term infrastructure investments. GIS-based dashboards allow officials to visualize progress, identify high-need areas, and make informed decisions about resurfacing and bridge projects.

The same quantitative approach ties into the City County Bridge Improvement program which has allowed tremendous support for counties in search of funding for their projects.
