POINT OF VIEW: STATES. Performance Management for All: Building on the States' Robust Foundation
The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) requires state departments of transportation (DOTs), metropolitan planning organizations and transit agencies to track, measure, and report on transportation performance using a consistent, national framework. Although this is a first-time federal requirement, state DOTs already have implemented performance management procedures. All states have implemented some form of transportation asset management, which is a subset of performance management. Moreover, many state DOTs have implemented comprehensive and robust performance management systems to balance investment decisions against limited resources. In this article, the author affirms that transportation agencies’ experience with performance management will serve as a foundation for the MAP-21 requirements. The challenges ahead include balancing state and federal investment priorities; setting and coordinating targets; and addressing data issues.
