April 2006

It is my pleasure to submit to you the 2005 Annual Report of the Transportation Asset Management Council. MCL 247.659a(9) requires the Council to file an annual report with the Legislature and State Transportation Commission by May 2 of each year.

During 2005, the Council surveyed 43,000 miles of federal-aid eligible roads and analyzed the condition of the system. This is the second statewide survey of every mile of federal-aid eligible road in Michigan using a common process. This effort was achieved through a cooperative effort of individuals from county road commissions, city engineering staffs, the Michigan Department of Transportation, regional planning agencies, and metropolitan planning organizations.

As we continue this effort over the next several years, it is the intent of the Council to analyze and report to the Legislature and State Transportation Commission on the investments made to this system and the resulting condition. In this way, you will be kept up-to-date on the overall condition of our roads and bridges; how we are spending the public dollars you have entrusted to us; and the system needs for maintaining and preserving our roads and bridges.

This report was approved by the Council on April 5, 2006. If you have any questions regarding the report you can contact me or our Staff Coordinator, Rick Lilly, at 517-335-2606.

Sincerely,

Carmine Palombo, P. E., Chair

Transportation Asset Management Council
