PASER Ratings

Part of the City’s effort toward continuous infrastructure improvement involves updating the condition rating of its roads for asset management purposes.

The road scoring system is called PASER, which is an acronym for PAvement Surface Evaluation and Rating. Roads are given a score from 0 to 10, with 10 being a newly paved road and 0 being a completely deteriorated surface.

The score is produced by driving a vehicle-mounted optical scanner down each road segment and recording the number of cracks, holes, ruts, patches and other defects per lane mile. The City rated all its roads in 2017 and again in 2020, and plans to repeat the process every two to three years. You may view the ratings on the maps below.
