Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is the most commonly used metric nationwide for assessing pavement condition. PCI documents the type, severity and extent of pavement distresses and ranks conditions on a scale from 0-100, 0 being the worst pavement condition and 100 being the best pavement condition.

PCI is rated on a scale of 0-100. Carson City roads have remained in the 50-75 PCI (fair) range since 2015. Real-world PCI surveys were completed in 2017 and 2022 with the years in between estimates using the City’s asset management software. As shown below, the pavement condition on neighborhood streets has declined by 19% over the last six years.
