Case Study: Kansas City, Missouri triples road repairs with OpenGov

Kansas City triples road repairs and saves 900+ hours with OpenGov

Kansas City, Missouri faced a significant challenge in managing its road maintenance program, which relied on inefficient manual processes like windshield surveys and spreadsheets. This led to deferred maintenance, a massive projected backlog of $4 billion, and an inability to strategically justify budget needs to stakeholders. The city partnered with OpenGov and implemented its Enterprise Asset Management solution to move from a reactive to a data-driven approach.

By utilizing OpenGov's Scenario Builder for real-time budget modeling and data visualization, the city gained the tools to prove its case and secure stakeholder buy-in. The results were transformative: annual resurfacing output nearly tripled from 180 to 519 lane miles, annual funding doubled from $20M to $40M, and over 900 hours of manual labor were saved. OpenGov enabled Kansas City to resurface a quarter of its network in three years and set a course to eliminate its 30-year backlog in just 12 years.
