According to John Goodwin from the MTC, "Every day our roads are getting older. Every day they're more exposed to the elements. Every day they're more exposed to traffic." This emphasizes the ongoing deterioration of road conditions in the Bay Area.
Goodwin also noted, "The money that cities and counties do have for pavement maintenance doesn't go as far as a few years ago. The cost of materials, cost of labor, et cetera," highlighting the financial pressures on local governments to maintain their infrastructures.
Garrett Toles expresses frustration over Vallejo's roads, stating, "A lot of those people in Vallejo, they do come from low income communities and that's just another hassle for them. That's just another financial burden that they have to deal with." This reflects the impact on vulnerable communities.
The report reveals that the Bay Area's overall road score has remained stagnant at 67 out of 100 for nine years, indicating a lack of effective progress in road maintenance.
