Preservation - WisDOT MAPSS Performance Improvement Program

WisDOT MAPSS - Preservation - Protecting, maintaining and operating Wisconsin's transportation system efficiently by making sound investments that preserve and extend the life of our infrastructure, while protecting our natural environment.

Protecting, maintaining and operating Wisconsin's transportation system efficiently by making sound investments that preserve and extend the life of our infrastructure, while protecting our natural environment.

Funding is prioritized to Backbone system, but future reports will reflect increased funding to State Highway Rehabilitation for 2019 – 2021.

The state’s backbone highway system is comprised of priority corridors and carries 85% of the freight tonnage traversing Wisconsin’s state trunk highways.

Recycled materials provide time and cost savings, performance and efficiency benefits on nearly all WisDOT projects.

In Wisconsin, 41% of vehicle miles traveled utilize locally owned roads. Preserving those 102,000 miles of pavement helps to promote safety and efficient mobility.

Goal: To have 93% of all paved and 85% of all unpaved local pavements rated in fair condition or better.

A total of 544.7 of the 702.5 miles of track (77.5%) met the department goal. This is a 7.0-mile increase from 2021 to 2022 in the number of miles that meet the standard.

The department has completed the program-wide evaluation of its asset management program and has moved into the implementation phase. Scores have increased both at the statewide and regional levels. The statewide analysis shows all metrics meeting their targets, with project locations at a 91% match rate, scoping at a 94% match rate, and timing increasing to a 76% match rate.

Protecting, maintaining and operating Wisconsin’s transportation system efficiently by making sound investments that preserve and extend the life of our infrastructure, while protecting our natural environment.

Although there was a small decline from last reporting period, the goal continues to be met. This is testament to the department’s continued focus on safe infrastructure and system quality.

The department uses the Program Effectiveness measure to determine compliance with road improvement standards for the state’s “3R” (resurfacing, restoration, and rehabilitation) system. 

Goal: To have 3R network scheduled projects at a level of “good” or above at both the statewide and regional levels.

The efficient movement of freight throughout the state enhances Wisconsin’s economic productivity and competitiveness. Optimizing daily train operating speeds ensures the safe and efficient movement of freight.

Goal:  The department's goal is to upgrade 10 miles of track every year until all 687 miles of publicly owned tracks are capable of operating at speeds above 10 mph.

Reuse of materials in WisDOT projects helps to reduce waste and conserve program resources. Materials engineers work to ensure recycled material products are high-quality, comparable if not better to those made with new materials.

Goal: The goal is to have 10% of newly produced materials replaced with recycled materials in construction projects.

The department evaluates the pavement condition on three pavement types (primary runways, taxiways, and aircraft parking aprons) at each of the 97 publicly owned airports identified in the State’s Airport System Plan (SASP).

Goal: Our goal is for 90% of primary runways, 85% of priority taxiways and 80% of main terminal apron of Airport pavement to be rated in fair condition or better.

Wisconsin’s bridges are critical infrastructure assets of the transportation network. Inspecting and evaluating bridges is a key component of meeting this objective.

Goal: Our goal is to have 90% of locally owned or maintained bridges rated in fair condition or better.

The state’s Backbone highway system is comprised of priority corridors and carries 85% of the freight tonnage traversing Wisconsin’s state trunk highways.

Goal: To have 90% of the state’s Backbone highway pavement rated fair or above.

The state’s Non-Backbone system consists of the remaining state-owned system. The routes carry over 50% of state highway traffic.

Goal: To have 80 % of the state’s non-backbone highway pavement rated fair or above.

Wisconsin bridges are critical to the highway transportation network. Inspecting and evaluating bridges in a timely, comprehensive fashion is key to keeping bridges safe.

Goal: 95% of Wisconsin’s state-owned or maintained bridges rated fair or above.
