Louisiana 2024 IDEA

This program presents the results of the 2024 update of the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development's (DOTD) Airport Pavement Management System (APMS). During this project the runway, taxiway, apron, and T-hangar pavements at 61 general aviation airports in Louisiana were evaluated. This program presents the results of the APMS update and is organized into the following modules accessible from the links below or the top menu bar above.

  • Statewide Summary—View a summary of pavement area, age, and condition information available for the surveyed airports. This section also includes links to the latest "Statewide Executive Summary" and "Typical Pavement Distresses" documents.
