The preservation of existing roads and streets has become a major activity for all levels of government. Deteriorating urban roads and reduced funding are major problems for local governments. Funds designated for pavements therefore must be used as effectively as possible. For the most efficient management of urban roadway networks, regulations calling for the involvement of metropolitan planning organizations in the development and implementation of pavement management systems (PMSs) were established by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991. Considerable effort is now under way at state and local government levels for developing and implementing PMSs. The Urban Roadway Management System (URMS) was developed at the University of Texas at Austin. URMS provides small to medium-sized cities with a simple, flexible, and user-friendly PMS. Implementation of such a system can save money for both the agency and the user and improve not only the efficiency, but also the effectiveness of decision making involved in managing pavements. A research study was conducted at the University of Texas to demonstrate the use of URMS through its implementation in small to medium-sized cities. The implementation was carried out at two levels. At the first level, the city of Lampasas, Texas, was directly assisted in the implementation. At the second level, the city of Terrell, Texas, was assisted over the telephone. The strategy and process of URMS implementation are documented.
