Project management system for local agencies

A simplified, noncomputerized pavement management system developed for use by small local agencies with limited resources. Streetwise uses five pavement distresses to evaluate and score asphalt pavements. Streetwise is incorporated with a copy of a Guide for Local Agency Pavement Managers. A computerized version of streetwise is available.
