The Florida Department of Transportation is required by law to periodically evaluate the functional classification of public roads. The evaluations are to utilize formally adopted quantitative criteria. A quantification criterion, called the System Attribute Score (SAS), has been developed by the department. The procedure provides score values that indicate the probable functional classification of public roads. Its output is the product of two concurrent assessments. The first measures the satisfaction of threshold levels of certain road attributes such as traffic count, number of trucks, and length of road. The second evaluates the elemental role of a road in a transportation network that connects service end points (e.g., two urbanized areas, rural communities, and collector roads). Separate processes are included in the procedure to address the geosocial transportation differences among rural, urban, and urbanized areas. The SAS procedure provides the department with a quantitative criterion to utilize in the functional classification of public roads. However, functional classification will also consider other factors, including input from public hearings, as required by Florida statutes.
