Abinanti acknowledged that there is already an 800 phone number that residents can use to report dangerous potholes, but also wants an interactive website where motorists can report the locations of significant potholes, check the status of their repair and view the locations of reported significant potholes that must be avoided.

“The recent extraordinary weather has had an extraordinary impact on our State roadways which requires an extraordinary response,” Abinanti said in the letter. “The website would allow drivers to assist the department in prioritizing work and also allow drivers to plan their routes with a map showing where potholes have been reported before venturing out on the roads.”

Abinanti also wants the DOT to set up an emergency pothole repair program given the recent bad weather.
