Background
Before RMT
The City of Cape Coral faced significant challenges in managing its roadway network due to the absence of a formal pavement management system (PMS). The city sought a solution that would centralize all paving-related information, provide objective roadway evaluations, and streamline maintenance and project planning. Cape Coral’s need for a comprehensive pavement lifecycle management approach was driven by the challenges of maintaining an expansive roadway network using legacy providers and processes.
Today
By implementing RMT’s Roadway Lifecycle Management solution, the city created a proactive strategy to manage its pavement network efficiently. The integration of real-time data and workflows into decision-making processes has ensured that funding allocations were data-driven and will continue to be optimized for long-term sustainability.
For fiscal year 2025, Cape Coral is now expecting to increase the number of lane miles of road touched by repaving efforts by approximately 50%. RMT’s team identified the roads to be touched using the RoadManTech platform and decision logic provided by Cape Coral’s team.
This project set a precedent for other municipalities looking to transition from reactive maintenance to predictive asset management, informed by real-time data and truly intelligent systems.
