2007 House Bill 4979 / Public Act 199

Expand “pavement management” requirements

Introduced in the House

June 27, 2007

Introduced by Rep. Hoon-Yung Hopgood (D-22)

To expand a requirement that the Department of Transportation in conjunction with counties and municipalities undertake “pavement management” on roadways that are part of the National Highway System in Michigan (4,720 total miles), so that it applies to the entire federal-aid eligible road system in Michigan (33,504 miles). “Pavement management” is planning to ensure that a disproportionate share of pavement does not become due for replacement or major repair at the same time. The bill also revises certain reporting requirements for the state and local road agencies.
