Write Up:

This measure tracks how much of the planned maintenance operation work in the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program, and additional activities, is accomplished each year. The measure includes location-specific work, such as bridge deck seals, and comprehensive statewide work, such as striping. Location-specific work is tracked in the MoDOT Management System and reports updates in year-to-date status.  

 

The MoDOT Management System continues to improve the accuracy of planning and documenting accomplishments at MoDOT. In the spring of this year, some planned work was impacted by numerous unplanned and visual work activities such as litter pick up, sign replacement and other roadside activities. These visual work efforts likely negatively impacted some preventative maintenance activities such as bridge sealing and bridge flushing. Pipe culvert repair exceeded the planned quantities due to low-volume route overlays. Concrete repair significantly exceeded the estimated plan quantities due to preparing routes in advance of future contract work that was not known while creating the work plan. Striping accomplishments were approximately 5,000 line miles more than 2022, even with staffing issues and continued material availability. 

 

The example visual above from MMS demonstrates work plan progress for asphalt pavement repair and pipe culvert repair for calendar year 2023.     

Purpose of the Measure:

MoDOT publishes the maintenance and operations work plans every year in the STIP for the first three years. This measure is done to determine how each district performs compared to the planned levels in the STIP and the assumed 90% of lane miles as the target for mowing shoulder miles.

Measurement and Data Collection:

Activities planned in the STIP and other activities such as striping and mowing are tracked in MMS. Planned amounts are also developed in MMS and are used for determining the percent of work plan progress. One exception is the mowing, total shoulder miles are estimated at 90% of the lane miles for this measure.
