Advancing Pavement & Bridge Performance
WEBINAR: August 4, 2026, 11:00AM - 12:30PM PT
Advancing Pavement & Bridge Performance Through Transportation Programming presents strategies local agencies can use to address asset condition performance through the programming process.
Transportation agencies use a variety of funding mechanisms, project prioritization criteria, stakeholder engagements, communication strategies, and coordination efforts to help ensure transportation improvement programs are used strategically to address bridge and pavement condition targets.
This webinar presents findings from research on how state DOTs and metropolitan planning organizations are prioritizing National Highway System (NHS) pavement and bridge condition in the development of their transportation improvement programs and how agencies use the asset management process and the development of the asset management plan to optimize investments in achieving a state of good repair.
Presenters:
- Bradley Utecht, Minnesota DOT
- Gehan Elsayed, West Virginia DOT

The National Highway System
The National Highway System (NHS) is a network of strategic highways within the U.S., including the Interstate Highway System and other roads serving major airports, ports, military bases, rail or truck terminals, railway stations, and other strategic transport facilities.
Altogether, it constitutes the largest highway system in the world.
