Linking Performance-Based Program Development and Delivery
The combination of performance-based program development, project delivery, and system monitoring creates an effective, efficient, and accountable transportation management structure. Although all three components--program development, delivery, and monitoring--are essential to performance-based management, the focus of this resource paper is on the linkage between program development and program delivery. Establishing a relationship between program development and program delivery will enable agencies to guide transportation decisions from conception to implementation. This paper begins with a discussion of performance measures application to the identification and selection of projects and services and to subsequent delivery of the transportation program. Next, the importance of implementing these two components of performance-based management and the relationship between the processes are assessed. The paper concludes with an assessment of some of the challenges of further connecting program development and delivery and a few suggestions as to how these challenges can be addressed. With limited examples from transportation agencies that have fully connected these two procedures, the issues raised in the paper are designed to identify the need and opportunity to advance performance-based management of transportation systems.
