Abstract:

The Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP), established under the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act and continued under the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act, provides resources for a variety of eligible transportation alternatives projects. This guidebook assists State Department of Transportation (DOT) and metropolitan planning organization (MPO) program managers in implementing a performance-based approach to ensure that staff and decisionmakers understand program goals, and that program actions are making progress towards achieving those goals. The guidebook includes an overview of the principles of performance-based planning and management; an introduction to FHWA’s performance-based planning framework; a discussion of how to implement performance management with limited resources; and a step-by-step roadmap for creating a tailored performance-based planning and programming approach. Appendices present examples of relevant performance measures; information on data sources; examples for a DOT and an MPO; and additional resources.
