These studies help assist in their annual preservation decision making.

In the summer of 2014, approximately 355,000 square yards of type III micro surfacing were applied in accordance with ISSA specifications by an ISSA contractor member. In 2015, the PCI indicated that immediately after applying the micro surfacing treatment in 2014 the roadway network was in the “good” category.
