In 2025, region staff assessed the condition of 100% of the federal-aid eligible roads in Region 14 using the PASER road rating system, as requested by the State of Michigan Asset Management Council. The data collection effort requires the collection of three items: PASER rating, surface type, and the number of lanes. PASER is a visual rating assessment system that rates the road surface condition for a given segment on a scale of 1-10.

In 2025 region staff rated approximately 2,049 miles of federal aid eligible roads. A dashboard has been developed to allow you to explore the PASER data in more detail. The Asset Management Council has prescribed a fix for each of the PASER rating categories:

– Roads receiving a rating of 8 or higher require only Routine Maintenance
– Roads receiving a rating of 5-7 require Capital Preventative Maintenance
– Roads receiving a rating of 4 or less require Structural Improvements
