Welcome to the Pooled Fund Study Maintenance Decision Support System Website

This Pooled Fund Study (PFS) is the result of a multi-state effort to bring about an operational Maintenance Decision Support System (MDSS) for state transportation agencies. The links at this website provide both general and specific information on current MDSS efforts in the United States. Although the focus of this site is to inform on the PFS MDSS efforts, links are also provided to appropriate websites of the Federal Highway Administration's Functional Prototype (FP) MDSS efforts.

 
Importance
