Little Rock, AR – The city of Key West, Florida has become the nation’s next Smart City by partnering with Roadway Management Technologies (RMT), the leader in pavement preservation and proprietor of a full suite of performance tracking solutions, including state-of-the-art technology for assessing, maintaining, and improving infrastructure.
“We recognize the importance of condition assessments in developing an effective pavement management program for Key West,” said Gary Volenec, P.E., Engineering Director. “We wanted the most up to date information on street conditions to help us make the best use of our available paving funds. We knew that our next logical step had to utilize technology that would not only tell us the condition of our streets, but would also help us compare alternative paving, preservation and rehabilitation methods that would give us the best return on investment for our citizens. We have full confidence that by partnering with RMT and utilizing their Real-Time Pavement Performance Analytics, we will see results for our city.”
