In recognition of the need for local pavement management and the issues surrounding the possible involvement of the metropolitan planning organization (MPO), the ways in which MPOs have participated in local pavement management activities were studied and a framework that could be used as a guide to identifying the appropriate role and set of responsibilities of MPOs in the conduct of local pavement management studies and projects was formulated. Case studies of the pavement management experiences of four regional planning agencies (RPAs) in Massachusetts are reviewed. These RPAs, which provide staff support to their MPOs, have participated in local pavement management studies and have attempted to integrate such efforts into the regional transportation planning process. The framework consists of eight elements covering the major issues and activities pertaining to pavement management and is intended to be used as a guide for MPOs in the conduct of local pavement management activities. In addition, the flexibility of the framework facilitates the incorporation of the results of pavement management studies into the urban transportation planning process and specifically into the transportation improvement program. A number of conclusions pertaining to the variety of roles MPOs could play in local pavement management are presented, and the need for MPOs to seek assistance from individuals who are not members of the MPO staff is described.
