Many changes have taken place in the last 20 years - personal computers in place of mainframes, a public that is not as trusting of elected officials as it used to be and that is asking for, and expecting to receive, accountability from its leaders and government agencies, and legislation that is affecting the way local agencies operate. One change that began to be recognized at the last pavement management conference is the importance of institutional issues to the success of system implementation. Technical issues are no longer the driving force for implementing pavement management or for forcing operational changes within organizations. Today nontechnical factors often have more of an impact on the success of pavement management systems and on the acceptance of programs by elected officials who control access to funds. The question becomes, How do we react to these changes and what organizational and institutional challenges do we face when trying to deal with these changes? The remainder of this paper discusses these challenges within the following five principle categories: (1) Communication; (2) Education; (3) Quality; (4) Teamwork; and (5) Innovation.

The proceedings of the Third International Conference on Managing Pavements is published in three volumes. Volumes 1 and 2, published prior to the conference, include papers to be presented at the conference. Volume 3, published after the conference, contains the opening and closing plenary session addresses, keynote presentations, several invited papers, and results of the various workshops.
