Is your city or county unable to implement a pavement management program (PMP) because of the cost and staff time required to start up the program? Or, does your jurisdiction already have a PMS but is unable to maintain it because of staff turnover and resulting lack of experienced personnel?  If you answered "yes" to either of these questions and you are located in the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area, you may qualify for MTC's Pavement Management Technical Assistance Program (P-TAP). 

UPDATE: PTAP 11 (November 20, 2009)
