Section 4: Texas Maintenance Assessment Program
Texas Maintenance Assessment Program (TxMAP) Background
TxMAP was developed by the Maintenance Division in 1999 to
document the condition of the state highway system and to meet the
requirements of Government Accounting Standards Board Statement
34 (GASB34).
Benefits
Annually, the program collects maintenance performance data
on approximately 4000 one mile roadway sections and the associated
right of way. Assessments are performed on 5% of the non-interstate
highway system centerlines miles and 10% of the Interstate system
centerline miles in Texas. The annual TxMAP report provides the
Administration information on how effectively the districts are
performing the maintenance. It also documents the overall condition
of the highway system and allows maintenance managers to monitor
conditions to determine resource needs. Performance data through
2012 can be found on the Maintenance Division Crossroads site. In 2013,
the Maintenance Division began loading the performance data into
the Maintenance Management System.
