The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 174.03, by adding a new subdivision that establishes pavement asset sustainability ratio (ASR) targets for the state's transportation system. The commissioner is tasked with calculating and reporting the ASR for pavements annually, using criteria outlined in the Pavement Design Manual. The ASR is defined as the total mile years added divided by the total system mileage.

Additionally, the bill sets specific ASR targets that the department must meet: a minimum of 0.65 by 2027, 0.75 by 2029, and 0.85 by 2031 and thereafter. The commissioner is also required to report the ASR results from projects constructed by the department each year, which will be included in the annual transportation system performance report.
