Pavement Condition Index (PCI)
What is PCI?
Pavement Condition Index, or PCI, is a numerical index between 0 and 100, which is used to indicate the condition of a specific section of road pavement. Note that PCI does not apply to dirt and gravel roads.
Pavement Inspections
PCI is determined by a manual inspection process, done on site by professional pavement inspectors. Inspectors score a section of roadway by conducting a detailed examination of pavement features such as cracking and potholes.

Current PCI by Functional Class
| Functional Class | Number of Miles | % of Total Road Miles | Average PCI |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minor Arterial | 77.3 | 5.4 | 80 |
| Principal Arterial | 1.3 | 0.1 | 78 |
| Major Collector | 316.2 | 22.4 | 70 |
| Minor Collector | 114.8 | 8.1 | 50 |
| Local Roads | 901.9 | 64.0 | 37 |

Conclusions:
- Local roads make up the majority of the County's road system. These are in poor condition, and bring down the system-wide average PCI.
- Major Collector and Arterial roads have been kept in better condition. These see higher usage, and therefore receive more funding for pavement maintenance.
