The RCI system is maintained by three major offices - Planning, Maintenance, and Traffic Operations, each playing a crucial role in inputting and verifying the accuracy of data. The Office of Maintenance's budget program relies on the precision of RCI data, with features and characteristics inputted by district/area maintenance offices. The system ensures efficient management and planning for the State Highway System.
