Fill out and return a Road and Sidewalk Assessment Expression of Interest form.
We will send you a proposal for review and answer any questions you may have.

StreetScan will collect data on your network using their ScanVan or ScanCart.
Upon completion of the assessment, you will receive a pavement or sidewalk management plan outlining the results, business case, and other relevant information needed to make a decision on repairs and maintenance.
A customized portal will be created incorporating your preferred repair methods, priorities, and unit costs.
Use the web portal to track, update, budget, and make repair decisions, or have the data provided as a layer for your own GIS database.
Be sure to survey your sidewalks annually, and your roads every 2-4 years to build a robust database and improve your forecasting. Multi-year agreements are available.
