With  the  directive of  Secretary Soriquez,  the Road and Bridge Information Application (RBIA) is the official source of Road and Bridge Information in the Department. RBIA,  a fully populated database containing the entire inventory of DPWH road assets,  is being used by all personnel involved with planning and other activities  requiring  data on inventory  and  condition.  As  a readily accessible common source of  inventory data,  users are presently enjoying its benefits in the performance of day to day duties.

      Department Order  (DO)  No. 54, series  of   2004  entitled  “Full Institutionalization  of  the  Road  and  Bridge Information  Application  (RBIA) and Related Road and Bridge Data Collection Procedures” details the responsibilities of the Central, Regional and District Offices in maintaining the RBIA. Designated RBIA Coordinators  in  the   Regional Office are assigned on a full-time basis for maintaining this system.  The said DO also states that the  Road  Information  System  (RIS)  and  the  Road  and Bridge Condition Rating Surveys,  formerly    conducted by the  Bureau  of  Maintenance (BOM), be discontinued. Likewise,  the  production  of  Road  Diagram and  Bridge  Lists  (RDBLs)   is  no  longer required.
