INTERNATIONAL ROAD FEDERATION FEDERATION ROUTIERE INTERNATIONALE THE MAINTENANCE GAP IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN: INVESTMENT NEEDED FOR MAINTAINING ROAD NETWORK IN “GOOD” CONDITION AND THE AVAILABLE FINANCING FOR MAINTENANCE OF ROAD NETWORK Better Roads, Better World
INTERNATIONAL ROAD FEDERATION FEDERATION ROUTIERE INTERNATIONALE WHAT IS MAINTENANCE? Maintenance is a series of activities designed to keep a road network serviceable by reducing the deterioration of pavements and other road assets. • Routine maintenance • Resurfacing • Rehabilitation • Reconstruction • Restoration • Betterment • New road construction Better Roads, Better World
INTERNATIONAL ROAD FEDERATION FEDERATION ROUTIERE INTERNATIONALE A FRAMEWORK FOR ROAD MAINTENANCE – FOUR FUNCTIONS Involves analysing the road network and preparing a long-term strategic plan that includes future needs in terms of, for STRATEGIC PLANNING example, maintenance needs, the resource requirements for different future budgetary and economic scenarios Involves developing a multi-year program of work and associated expenditures. This work program identifies future PROGRAMMING maintenance needs of the road network, and prioritises these needs based on costs and benefits and available budgets. Involves developing the details for implementing the multi-year PREPARATION program of work – detailed designs and cost estimates are prepared. Covers the management of daily on-going works activities of the organisation on a daily or weekly basis. This includes, for IMPLEMENTATION example, the scheduling of work, monitoring of the work, and evaluation of completed works. Better Roads, Better World

INTERNATIONAL ROAD FEDERATION FEDERATION ROUTIERE INTERNATIONALE CORE PRINCIPLES OF ASSET MANAGEMENT Policy Driven – Resources are allocated for undertaking different activities based on well -defined policy objectives Performance Based – All policy objectives are translated into indicators to measure system performance and used for operational and strategic management Analysis of Options and Trade-offs - The allocation of resources to different types of projects (maintenance versus rehabilitation) is based on evaluating how different budget allocations perform with regards to reaching the policy objectives Decisions Based on Information – The costs and benefits of the different options is based on current, complete, and accurate data Monitoring – The performance of policy options is measured and reported Better Roads, Better World

INTERNATIONAL ROAD FEDERATION FEDERATION ROUTIERE INTERNATIONALE WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE? 1.Ownership and institutional structure 2.Financing 3.Assigning responsibility 4.Enhancing efficiency Better Roads, Better World
INTERNATIONAL ROAD FEDERATION FEDERATION ROUTIERE INTERNATIONALE 1. OWNERSHIP AND INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURE • Involve stakeholders and road users in management of roads by creating an organsiation (eg., a road board) that: • Is independent • Has legal and legislative standing • Has clearly defined executive or advisory responsibility • Has a clear terms of reference • With explicit rules and procedures • Separate financing and procurement and delivery functions • Institutionalise planning and programming function Better Roads, Better World
INTERNATIONAL ROAD FEDERATION FEDERATION ROUTIERE INTERNATIONALE 2. FINANCING (1) • Create an independent (free from political interference) organisation (eg., road fund): • With dedicated revenue sources deposited directly to it, • An independent board with a clear ToR , • The ability to vary tariffs and charges to meet needs, • With a simple consistent procedure for fund allocating, and • Is regularly audited • Revenues should come from user charges (fuel fees, parking, vehicle license fees, road pricing, weight- distance fees, …) • Administrative considerations (evasion, international transit fees, inadvertent subsidies, …) • Practical considerations Better Roads, Better World
INTERNATIONAL ROAD FEDERATION FEDERATION ROUTIERE INTERNATIONALE 2. FINANCING (2) • Level of charges should follow three core principles: • Road tariff should not be lower than the variable costs of operating and maintaining the road network; • Road tariff and the taxes and charges used to support local access roads should collectively cover all road costs; • When there is significant road congestion, the road tariff should also include congestion costs, although this will only apply to a handful of seriously congested cities. Better Roads, Better World
INTERNATIONAL ROAD FEDERATION FEDERATION ROUTIERE INTERNATIONALE 3. ASSIGNING RESPONSIBILITY • Clear assignment of responsibility, based on a functional classification of road network, for its management • Management includes responsibility for managing traffic and enforcing, for example, weight-axle rules and regulations • Community and rural roads need special attention, including financing from the central/national government Better Roads, Better World
