<br />Definitions
<br />CPM 101 Annual Report: FY2011 Highways & Road Maintenance /56
<br />• Lane mile: This is based on a standard width of 12 feet. Jurisdictions that use different lane widths
<br />were instructed to convert figures to match this definition. (One lane mile measures 12 feet by 5280
<br />feet or 3.66 meters by 1.61 kilometers.)
<br />• Paved lane miles: This includes asphalt and concrete lanes, all paved road surfaces, including travel
<br />lanes, turn lanes, parking lanes, bike lanes, and shoulders, and all paved lane miles of road for which
<br />the jurisdiction is responsible regardless of whether they underwent maintenance during the
<br />reporting period. It excludes drainageways and alleys, regardless of whether they are paved, and
<br />bike, walking, or other recreation trails that are not part of the roadway.
<br />• Paved lane miles assessed: This includes all paved lane miles that underwent an objective condition
<br />assessment, using any number of standard systems (e.g., PAVER) during FY 2011. It excludes lane
<br />miles assessed using informal, "looking- out - the - window" surveys.
<br />• Road rehabilitation: This includes, but is not limited to, resurfacing, slurry sealing, mill and overlay,
<br />pothole repair, and microsurfacing. It does not include reconstruction.
<br />• Road rehabilitation expenditures: This includes actual expenditures, not budgeted or encumbered
<br />amounts, salaries, benefits, supplies, and equipment expenditures (except fleet management and all
<br />fuel), expenditures for street surface rehabilitation only (including those activities that may be
<br />financed from the capital budget), whether rehabilitation work was performed by jurisdiction
<br />employees or contract employees. It also includes all applicable expenditures, regardless of the
<br />funding source. It excludes expenditures for overhead activities, specifically for the following
<br />support services: management staff not directly involved in supervision of highways /road
<br />maintenance personnel or activities, facilities management (custodial /repair, building depreciation,
<br />all utilities), finance /payroll, fleet management (and all fuel), human resources, information
<br />technology (and all telephone calls and system administration), purchasing, risk management (and
<br />all workers compensation), expenditures for new capacity and construction, debris removal, street
<br />sweeping, median island /greenspace maintenance, snowplowing, sanding /salting, and the
<br />maintenance of bridges, tunnels, stormwater drainage systems, traffic signal devices, signs,
<br />streetlights, gutters, and sidewalks, capital expenditures for new capacity and
<br />construction /reconstruction, offsets to expenditures via revenues received from the state or federal
<br />government as a rebate or distribution of sales tax, GST, or other funds (these revenues or rebates
<br />should be reported in the comments section only), and debt service payments.
<br />• Time to repair a pothole: This includes the time from the pothole being reported (either via
<br />jurisdiction record - keeping or notification from the public) to completion of repair. If a pothole was
<br />reported during a prior fiscal year, this includes the total number of days since it was reported,
<br />including fractions of days (0.5 working days). Potholes reported on Friday and repaired on Monday
<br />are counted as 1 day.
