Berrien County 2019 Pavement Condition Report
2
Overview of the PASER Rating System
Each year, the Southwest Michigan Planning Commission collaborates with MDOT and local county road
agencies to assess the pavement conditions of the federal aid eligible roads in Berrien, Cass, and Van Buren
Counties. Staff members from each of the agencies are trained and certified annually to use the Pavement
Surface Evaluation and Rating system (PASER) by the Transportation Asset Management Council (TAMC).
PASER is a system designed to visually assess pavement condition while driving (known as a windshield
survey) and assign a value of 1 thru 10 based on the observed defects.
Good Condition Fair Condition Poor Condition PASER Rating 8-10 PASER Rating 5-7 PASER Rating 1-4 Requires Routine Maintenance Requires Capital Preventative
Maintenance Requires Structural Improvements or Reconstruction
The costs of rehabilitation
are exponentially higher than
the costs of preventative
maintenance, a full
reconstruction being the
most expensive treatment
option. Asset management
best practices encourage
preventative maintenance to
slow decay and reduce costs.
It Is necessary to know the pavement condition of roads when monitoring them; this allows for
more accurate estimates of the treatment costs and ensures fewer roads reach the critical distress
point (CDP) – the point at which maintenance is no longer effective.

Each year, SWMPC, MDOT, and Berrien County work as a team to rate half of the federal aid eligible roads
in the county using the PASER system. In 2019, the southern portion of the county was completed, while
the norther portion was completed in 2018. This report, therefore, combines two years of ratings to show
the ratings for the entire county.

Summary of Berrien County 2018-2019 Ratings
2018/2019 All Federal Aid Miles by PASER Rating
Just over half of the rated roads are in poor condition (PASER rating of 1-4), many rated as a four. At a rating of four, a structural overlay is recommended, but certain capital preventative maintenance (CPM) treatments can still be performed. Once a road deteriorates below a four, more costly treatments, such as full reconstruction, are required.
2018/2019 Local and MDOT Maintained Federal Aid Miles by PASER
Locally maintained roads are, in general, in far worse condition than MDOT maintained roads. This is largely because more federal and state funding goes first, toward interstate maintenance and then, to the other highways and major arterials, which make up the National Highway System. These roads are maintained primarily by MDOT.

Ten-Year Trend in Countywide PASER Ratings 2010-2019 Includes City, Village, Road Department, and MDOT Maintained Roads
Because only half the county is rated per year, the 2018 and 2019 ratings are paired to show the trends for
the entire county.
