How do we use our limited resources to
protect the investment in our existing
infrastructure? Our panelists discussed
“Infrastructure Preservation – protecting
the investment.”
Infrastructure Preservation: King W.
Gee, FHWA’s Associate Administrator for
Infrastructure, talked about preserving
the deteriorating condition of the nation’s
roads and bridges. Since 1980, vehicle
miles traveled (VMT) is up 98 percent,
licensed drivers up 40 percent yet lane
miles have only increased by seven
percent.
Preservation of Florida’s Infrastructure:
Preservation has been a top priority in
Florida Statutes since 1999 and within
FDOT well before that, said Tim Lattner,
FDOT’s State Maintenance Engineer. The
investment in a preservation program
that includes accountability through
performance measures is a sound
investment with solid returns.
System Preservation in Louisiana:
Janice P. Williams, P.E., Louisiana DOTD,
Chief, Systems Engineering, said a
System Preservation Section was created
to provide a single unit in LA DOTD
whose primary focus is development
and management of the department’s
preservation efforts. The current strategy
is to start small with a $3 million program
for two deck spall repair projects and
one joint replacement project. She also
discussed national and regional efforts
for system preservation - AASHTO
TSP-2 Initiative and the Southeast
Pavement Preservation Partnership and
Bridge Preservation Partnerships. She
encouraged states to participate.
Alabama System Preservation:
Alabama DOT’s Assistant Chief of
Operations, Rex Bush, discussed Alabama’s
preventive maintenance program. He
said Alabama needs more flexibility in
getting funding to catch up with pavement
preservation efforts.

Public-private partnerships (P3s) to
expand freight capacity are innovative
approaches gaining more attention and
seeing greater implementation. P3 freight
capacity projects should contribute to the
effectiveness of the entire transportation
system with contracts that protect public
interests in private facilities.
In Virginia, legislation in 2005 provided
the first dedicated source of rail funding.
It requires a 30 percent match from
private sources, and all projects are done
through public-private partnerships.
Moving freight with rail has cut 1.5 days
off travel time. Estimations are two to
three million more trucks will be off the
road by 2025.
CSX reports rail is the safest, most
environmentally-friendly ground
transportation available and is three times
more fuel efficient than over-the-road
alternatives. As partners in expanding
freight capacity, CSX notes there are
opportunities for mutual gains. In central
Florida, using rail to move freight would
reduce I-4 traffic and deliver economic
and environmental benefits. A willing
partner to share in cost where states
benefit, CSX has estimated one project
will produce $8 in public benefits for every
dollar of public funds invested.
Ports are players, too. In Jacksonville,
Florida, the port authority has partnered
with FDOT to make intersection
improvements nearby and is interested
in working with CSX on an intermodal
container transfer facility.
The Strategic Intermodal System (SIS)
in Florida acknowledges rail’s importance
to the transportation network. Florida,
along with Virginia, continues to lead
southeast states in pursuing public-private
partnerships and estimates P3s leverage
$367.8 million into $435 million in actual
projects.
In a public-private partnership, rail brings
much to the table. Economic stimulus
