Long Beach, California
For nearly a decade, IMS has served Long Beach, California by assessing and managing 1,000 miles of city roads. To assist in the management of the city’s assets, our team conducted a needs analysis for the nine council districts, promoting a fairer distribution of funds among them rather than allocating the annual budget equally or based solely on mileage. Recently, Easy Street Analysis (ESA), IMS’ in-house management tool, was introduced to simplify analysis and usage by network and council district. Several online platforms were implemented through ESRI ArcGIS, all of which had the goal of improving information accessibility. A story map to share pavement management efforts with citizens, a dashboard to share road condition statistics and district plans with council members, and an online pavement management application for engineering staff were among these platforms. Residents and stakeholders throughout the city have access to an abundance of infrastructure data, improving transparency at every level of pavement management.
