| Fiscal year | Actual | Target |
|---|---|---|
| FY22 | 77.5% | 71% |
| FY23 | 76.9% | 75% |
| FY24 | 77.5% | 71% |
| FY25 | 72.7% | 71% |
| FY26 (YTD) | Not available | 71% |
72.7% in FY25 — met the City's own target for this indicator (1.7% above the 71% target), though it has trended in the wrong direction over the past 3 years of reported data.
Why this is tracked
New York City's transportation network includes about 800 bridges and tunnels, along with thousands of miles of streets, that require ongoing preventive maintenance - drain cleaning, debris removal, masonry repair, and snow response - to stay safe and usable. A 2024 assessment found 118 bridge sections, representing nearly a fifth of all bridge roadway citywide, in poor condition, reflecting decades of aging infrastructure, much of it originally built in the early-to-mid 20th century. The City's ten-year capital strategy includes over $16 billion for bridge repair, replacement, and rehabilitation to address this backlog.

Definition: The number of surveyed lane miles of local roadways assigned a condition rating of good, fair, or poor divided by the total number of surveyed lane miles. Note DOT changed its rating method to the pavement condition index (PCI), which is a numerical value that is calculated from a visual survey of pavement distress on a sample of the City’s network. DOT surveys at least 50 percent of City streets each year. DOT’s PCI is measured on a scale from 1 to 10, and many factors affect the value, including pavement age, traffic loads and available maintenance funding.Condition ratings are grouped in the following categories for each fiscal year: Good (%) — ratings greater than or equal to 6.7 to 10 Fair (%) — ratings greater than or equal to 2.7 to less than 6.7 Poor (%) — ratings less than 2.7
