Steps
Use InfoPave's 'Data Selection and Download' tool to browse tables organized under Structure, Climate, Traffic, and Performance categories
For integrated, ready-to-use extracts, use one of the four Analysis Ready Datasets (ARMAD materials, ARCLD climate, ARTRD traffic, ARPED performance) instead of raw tables
For a full data dump, request the Standard Data Release (Access-database format) via InfoPave or the LTPP Customer Support Service Center (ltppinfo@dot.gov)
Cross-reference the LTPP IMS User Guide (PDF, in the InfoPave Repository) for table/field definitions
Known gotchas
InfoPave is a browser-based selection/download portal — there is no documented general-purpose REST endpoint for scripted bulk queries of the core LTPP tables; plan for interactive download or file-based extracts
Coverage is roughly 2,500 instrumented pavement test sections in the US and Canada, not the full national road network — don't treat it as representative of ordinary state DOT pavement
