This workshop is designed to help road operators and agencies around the world understand and learn to apply performance-based maintenance contracts to lower operating costs at a time of constrained budgets. The development and usefulness of performance-based maintenance contracts have rapidly increased as more and more transportation agencies embrace this approach and recognize it as an effective strategy to perform highway maintenance on existing and newly constructed infrastructure that may be part of a design-build-operate-maintain contract. The agenda consists of a variety of case studies, lessons-learned, and expert discussion panels led by top public and private sector experts from the United States and Canada.
