Atlanta maintains about 1,450 miles of streets. With World Cup crowds on the way, ATLDOT needed to know which downtown streets to fix first, without waiting months for a manual survey.
Cyvl gave every downtown street a pavement score, backed by street photos and 3D views, and ATLDOT used the scores to guide its Downtown Pavement Program. The city reports 60% fewer downtown potholes than in 2024, and the downtown pavement score rose from 63.5 to 75.3. ATLDOT is now using the same approach citywide, adding sidewalks, curb ramps and signs.
