PennDOT now faces a unique situation as we review our construction, design and maintenance contract plans, determine the new project timelines, and revise the scope of work, all while upholding our responsibility to provide a safe and efficient transportation system. Because travel overall is down, less fuel is being purchased. We are seeing significant decreases in revenues. This is forcing us to adjust the county maintenance operations we can perform and limiting expenditures by significantly reducing resurfacing efforts. We are focusing on lower cost preservation activities such as patching, crack sealing, skin patching, and seal coats needed to preserve the system. These core activities will remain our focus throughout 2020 and into 2021 as revenue is expected to be down by at least 30 percent.
