AASHTO MMS-1

State highway agencies have undertaken major initiatives to implement new and improved maintenance management systems (MMS). A comprehensive MMS can help managers at all organizational levels meet the growing challenges. Major benefits that can be attained with MMS include the following: maintenance quality rating systems; customer-input data; trade-off analysis to determine the maximum benefits attainable with available funding; application of performance-based budgeting techniques; and assessment of consequences of shifting funds between competing program objectives.
