Paver Saver is a system which allows utility companies, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, and county and city public works departments to share information about their work schedules and locations. Paver Saver aims to prevent newly paved roads from being torn up to repair a problem, and then a month later, torn up again in the same spot by a different agency to fix another problem.

The system finds where work schedules and project locations overlap and then notifies these organizations in advance so that they can potentially coordinate their work and save time, money and aggravation while keeping the road in good repair. It has already saved significant sums of money for participants in the short time it has been available. The Paver Saver application is a great example of how geographic data serves as the backbone of a collaborative solution that saves time, money, and resources.

Data Viewer – Web App

Use the Paver Saver Viewer app to see planned and active roadwork projects from utility companies, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, and county and city public works departments. You can see where and when each project is scheduled and find overlaps where agencies could coordinate their work. This app is for viewing only. To enter or edit projects, use the Paver Saver editing application.
