• Abstract:
  Performance measurement can be defined as an assessment of progress toward goals. In transportation planning a “good” measure is clearly defined, is acceptable to stakeholders, allows for economical data collection and analysis, shows how well the goal is being met, and is sensitive to differences among alternative transportation policies and investments. ; Transportation performance measures that are commonly used in Oregon to evaluate alternative plans and projects include per capita vehicle miles of travel, volume/capacity ratios, and auto occupancy. The current measures, however, do not address the full range of policies that currently guide Oregon transportation planning. For example, they do not provide meaningful indications of 1) how well the transportation system delivers multi-modal services; 2) the efficiency with which public resources are used to deliver transportation services; and 3) how public policies affect the delivery of those services.
