The City of Manitou Springs uses its Maintenance funds primarily for asphalt overlays, bridge repairs, and drainage issues related to roadways.
In 2018, the Town of Green Mountain Falls continued to undertake all regular road maintenance practices including the filling of priority potholes on the Town’s limited paved roads. Town staff subjected all roads to routine grading, compaction and drainage upkeep operations. The Town experienced an extraordinary monsoon season in the form of destructive rain and hail storms that struck the area and PPRTA maintenance funds were able to restore the condition of the street system in substantially less time than it would have taken to do so with limited in-house resources.
The Town of Ramah uses its Maintenance funds for road repairs and street signs.
