Abstract:

A prioritization process has been prepared by the University of California, Davis, for use by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) in selecting multimodal mobility improvement projects to fund, given a budget constraint. The process involves first, the evaluation of projects using a set of criteria, incorporating such factors as cost-efficiency and modal integration, and second, the processing of the evaluation scores through a ranking algorithm. The ranking algorithm presented is the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). TOPSIS was demonstrated using a sample set of project scores that were collected, and using several scenarios in which the evaluation criteria are weighted in different proportions, yielding unsurprising results. A process for determining final weights was demonstrated during a meeting of the Oregon Transportation Commission. Recommendations for further study are presented. 59 p.
