Road Inventory 2016

The Road Inventory is a GIS-based asset management system for the state's highway transportation system. As such, its strengths are in describing the configuration and condition of public roads and rights-of-way. It is not designed to support route-finding (e.g., shortest path applications), nor is it designed to support geocoding (although in theory intersection-based geocoding could be set up on it). It is part of the official documentation of the state road system and is used to prepare the yearly Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) report to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). It is a record of centerline and lane miles, which are the basis of state reimbursements to localities for road maintenance expenses (Chapter 90 funds).
