The Midland Area Transportation Study has completed PASER data collection for Midland County and collected data from Bay County Road Commission for Williams Township and Saginaw County Road Commission for Tittabawassee Township. PASER stands for Pavement Surface Evaluation and Rating system, which involves visually inspecting a road and assigning a score on a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being a failed road and 10 being in excellent condition. Trained individuals drive along a road segment and visually evaluate the surface condition based on factors like cracks, potholes, rutting, and overall pavement distress. This data is used by transportation agencies to prioritize road maintenance projects, allocate funding, and monitor the overall condition of their road network.
Maps are available for the data that was collected. These maps are not a representation of the entire road network within the MATS Area. It contains federal-aid, including but not limited to Other Principal Arterial, Other Freeway, Minor Arterial, Major Collector, Minor Collector, and also includes some local roads.
