Maintenance Operations Performance Analysis Report

The state MOPAR integrates the maintenance, rehabilitation and operation of the state highway system into a single management plan that implements state and federal asset management requirements, including primary assets such as those from Session Law 2017- 57 Highway Maintenance Improvement Program (HMIP), Session Law 2019-251 Transportation Emergency Reserve use on events declared as emergencies under the Stafford Act (42 U.S.C. §§ 5121 – 5207), as well as a growing range of supplementary statewide transportation assets and priorities such as Governor Cooper’s Executive Order 80 (EO80) on clean transportation. The MOPAR reflects the core principles of asset management, using objective analysis to focus investments on measured condition and performance goals. The Chief Engineer’s Office continues to refine and expand the asset management framework, introducing new performance objectives to maintain and expand the network prioritizing key fundamentals – maintaining a customer focused approach, making data-driven decisions, adopting a performance and risk based approach and builds off practices mandated by the US Department of Transportation (USDOT) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requirements, with additional guidance provided by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and other industry best practices.
