CALIFORNIA BUSINESS MINUTE
Ranking CA Roads
03-17-08


Hi, I am Tim Johnson and welcome to the California Business Minute.

The Road Information Program (TRIP), a Washington, D.C.-based lobbying group, found
that California – despite some progress – still rules the bumpy roads.

Los Angeles, San Francisco-Oakland, San Jose, San Diego and Sacramento made the
top 10.  Riverside-San Bernardino, Oxnard-Ventura, and Fresno made the top 20 list of
large urban regions (500,000+ populations) with the worst roads.

Road conditions are rated by the group as “poor,” “mediocre,” “fair” and “good.”

Data is based on the Federal Highway Administration's 2006 annual survey of state transportation
officials on the condition of major state and locally maintained roads, based on a uniform pavement
rating index. The pavement rating index measures the level of smoothness of pavement surfaces,
supplying information on the ride quality provided by road and highway surfaces

I am Tim Johnson and this has been the California Business Minute.
