What is an “LRRB”?• R&D for MN Cities and Counties
• Legislatively funded (1959)Up to 1/2% of State Aid allocation…currently at $3M/yr
• Governed by appointed local engineers:▫ County (4) ▫ City (2)▫ MnDOT (2)▫ U of M (1)
• Typical categories of research:
▫ construction, maintenance/operations, environmental compatibility, administration, and implementation
APWA 2016 PWX 8/28/2016

LRRB
• In addition to funding research, the LRRB also supports:
▫ Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP)
▫ MnDOT Library
▫ MnROAD
System Preservation
• It all started with the idea of unpaving roads.

GAP Analysis
Measures County Maintenance Practice vs Industry “typical”
Example:
Industry: Seal Coat every 10 years
County has 300 miles; therefore should sealcoat 30 mi/yr
County currently seal coats 20 mi/year….”gap” is 10 miles
10 x $17,500/mi = $175,000/yr
Do for all maintenance (Crack seal, overlay, etc.)

• Matches the management of roadways with the intended function and to the jurisdiction best suited to maintain the highway.
Strategy: Interjurisdictional Transfers
APWA 2016 PWX 8/28/2016

Strategy: Tiered Classification of County Roads• Establish a hierarchy within the roadway system• Different levels of maintenance standards for each level

Overall Average PCI > 80 > 75 > 70
Strategy: Unpaved Low Volume Roads
• What to consider when deciding to revert paved surfaces?
• How to obtain public and political buy‐in?
• What are the available surface treatment/stabilization options?
• What are best practices?
• How have unpaved surfaces been successful in various areas?
APWA 2016 PWX 8/28/2016
13
Strategy: Transportation Plan
• Identifies the long‐term transportation needs and their relationship to other planning factors in a coordinated fashion while respecting the community’s values
• Establishes a framework to implement system’s preservation strategies.
• Maintaining the condition of the roadway network at a desired or agreed upon level.
• Promotes Transparency
• Realistic Public Expectations
Strategy: Preservation Performance Measures
PERFORMANCE MEASURE Example
Keep a Pavement Quality Index (PQI) of:• Fair or better on 95% of the system• Good or better on 75 percent of system.
APWA 2016 PWX 8/28/2016
14
Strategy: Project Prioritization
• Microsoft Excel, easy to use and customize
• User defines attributes (type and amount) to rank/prioritize
• Multi‐layer sorting/ranking
• Report tables and GIS mapping
• New revenue will allow counties to expand and accelerate preservation initiatives:
Strategy: Revenue Enhancements
• Wheelage tax
• Local Sales tax
• Gravel tax
• Bonding
• Special Assessments
• Negotiated Developer Fees
• Cooperative Cost Sharing
