For the cities' convenience, TIB staff will conduct all pavement condition ratings on a rotational basis every four years. If the city maintains their own pavement condition rating, the methods used for scoring must comply with TIB's methodology. If scores submitted by the city are substantially different than the TIB pavement scores, the difference will be resolved through an on-site review coordinated between TIB and city staff.
