Abstract:

The Florida airport system consists of more than 100 publicly owned paved civil airports. Because many civil airports were originally constructed for military use, Florida has an abundance of paved airports. In fact, many airports have more airside pavement than can be economically maintained. The state does not own its airport system. Each airport is owned by a municipality, and each municipality decides how and when its airport will develop. The state's role is one of forecasting air transportation needs and encouraging and assisting municipalities to maintain suitable airport facilities to meet Florida's demand for air transportation. The Florida Department of Transportation is implementing a comprehensive management program to identify and priority-rank needed improvements and to ensure that owning municipalities are fully integrated into the program. Development of the pavement management program requires several steps. "Inventory" consists of review of pavement history and determination of pavement condition. "Forecasts" of need are based on existing pavement conditions and historical deterioration patterns. "Coordination" with owning municipalities includes sharing information on conditions and forecast needs and negotiating improvement plans of mutual benefit. "Optimization" is the process of matching needs with available dollars and scheduling highest-priority improvements first. "Execution" is the end product of pavement management, ensuring that dollars invested produce highest-quality pavements through excellence in design and construction.
