This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 174.03, by adding a new subdivision focused on establishing pavement asset sustainability ratio (ASR) targets. The commissioner is required to calculate and report 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 for the department to achieve: a minimum of 0.65 by 2027, 0.75 by 2029, and 0.85 by 2031 and thereafter. The commissioner is also tasked with reporting the ASR results from projects constructed by the department each year, which will be included in the annual transportation system performance report.
