Spring Regional Spotlight: Updating and Tracking Road Pavement Ratings

Another highlight of the upcoming Spring Regional Meeting, Tyler DeBruin of the Town of Grand Chute will be presenting on Updating and Track Road Pavement Ratings.

Every community in the State of Wisconsin is required to update their road ratings every other year. These are more commonly known as roadway PASER ratings. These ratings are very important to keep up with to help track roadway health and to ensure funding is properly distributed throughout the community. These rating are also one of the key components to any grant or funding opportunity for roadway projects. One of the most common ways to update these is by filling out a spreadsheet or making notes on a map. This presentation will help you ditch the paper and make these updates faster and help you track your data more accurately. This presentation will show you how to set up your own QuickCapture program for PASER ratings, automate updates to Wis DOT, and track historical ratings for funding purposes.

Tyler DeBruin has been in the GIS field for over a decade now. During his time in the GIS profession, Tyler has also taken numerous courses and credentials for transportation studies and planning. These include classes specifically geared for roadway ratings, traffic engineering fundamentals, and MUTCD standards. Tyler’s experience in roadway planning and GIS will help individuals with and without GIS experience develop their own roadway rating and tracking system. Developing your own roadway network rating and tracking system can help staff better allocate funding to needed projects and ensure funding is appropriately distributed throughout your community.
