• Abstract:
  This research developed a robust set of quantitative performance metrics, measures, and methodologies to assess project alignment with the Climate Action Plan for Transportation Infrastructure (CAPTI). The literature review included documenting measures and metrics in published reports, peer-reviewed journals, textbooks, and presentations. Subsequently, a Caltrans System Investment Strategy (CSIS) Project Evaluation Tool was developed to evaluate projects by quantifying performance measures and metrics across eleven criteria as follows: Mode shift (active transportation, transit, and rail elements), Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT), Zero Emission Charging & Fueling Infrastructure, Safety, Climate Adaptation and Resiliency, Natural Resources and Ecosystems, Infill Development, Freight Benefit -(Throughput, Velocity, and Reliability), Congestion Relief, Public Engagement, and Benefits to Disadvantaged Communities. The outcome of this research will allow for a data- and performance driven approach to project nomination and evaluation.
