• Abstract:
  In response to recent economic, political, and social trends that have placed greater emphasis on public-sector accountability and cost-effectiveness, transportation agencies across the country have increasingly embraced performance management and performance-based planning and programming as a way to ensure that transportation resources are spent on projects and strategies that best serve communities' needs. This white paper describes the common elements of a performance-based transportation planning and programming process, building on work conducted by State departments of transportation (DOT), metropolitan planning organizations (MPO), and transit agencies. The white paper describes current practices in use at several transportation agencies and opportunities to incorporate performance measurement and management techniques into the federally required planning process.
