Paving Program

The condition of roads is rated using the Pavement Surface Evaluation and Rating (PASER) system. PASER utilizes a 1 to 10 scale to rate the pavement condition, with 10 being a newly constructed surface and 1 being a completely failed surface.

Walker works with the Grand Valley Metropolitan Council (GVMC) to collect PASER data every year on its City Major (Federal Aid) network. Walker utilizes its own funds to have GVMC collect PASER data on the City Local (Non-Federal Aid) network on an as-needed basis, which is typically every 1 to 3 years. During the data collection process, each street segment receives a unique PASER rating.

During the data analysis process, each PASER rating is weighed to account for the number of lanes on each segment. A lane-mile weighted average PASER rating is then calculated for the City Major and City Local networks.

In 2024, Walker’s lane-mile weighted system average PASER rating was 5.8 (see below).

The City of Walker uses PASER ratings to determine which roads will receive funding from our annual road budget (as determined using our Budget Decision Tool). Below is a chart that details what fixes may be used based on the PASER rating a road has received.
