Empowering Local Agencies Through Pavement Management
StreetSaver, MTC’s web-based pavement management system, helps cities and counties take a proactive approach to maintaining streets and roads. As technology evolves, StreetSaver stays current with powerful tools that address changing infrastructure needs. Therefore, it remains a trusted leader in pavement and asset management.
A Legacy Rooted in Innovation Since 1982
In 1982, an MTC study showed that local jurisdictions spent only 60% of what was needed to keep roads in good condition. To improve this, MTC formed a committee to evaluate existing strategies. Early ideas for a pavement management system (PMS) were too complex. As a result, the committee agreed that simplicity was essential for local adoption.
The Launch of StreetSaver and Its Evolution
By 1987, MTC introduced its first PMS. It included a pavement condition index (PCI), region-specific maintenance strategies, and a network-level analysis framework. Later, in 2003, the system was renamed StreetSaver. Then in 2005, it moved to an online, cloud-based platform—positioning MTC as a leader in modern pavement management.
Expanding Capabilities with StreetSaver Plus
StreetSaver continued to grow. In 2014, the launch of StreetSaver Plus added support for non-pavement assets, such as signs. This addition helped agencies meet FHWA retroreflectivity standards. Later, in 2017, StreetSaver supported the passage of California Senate Bill 1, securing $1.5 billion annually for local road repairs—the largest investment of its kind.
Trusted Pavement Management for the Future
Today, StreetSaver stands on 30+ years of experience and ongoing development. It is the most trusted and widely used pavement management solution on the West Coast. Thanks to its web-based design, cities and counties have the tools they need to maintain infrastructure effectively and efficiently for years to come.
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) is the transportation planning, coordinating and financing agency for the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area. Carrying out the Commission’s directives is a staff of some 200 persons headquartered at the Bay Area Metro Center in San Francisco, California.
MTC functions as both the regional transportation planning agency — a state designation — and, for federal purposes, as the region’s metropolitan planning organization (MPO). As such, it is responsible for regularly updating the Regional Transportation Plan, a comprehensive blueprint for the development of streets and roads, mass transit, highway, freight, bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
