Performance Measures for Road Networks: A Survey of Canadian Use

In Canada, most provinces and territories use some form of performance measures to evaluate their road networks. However, the type of performance measures used and the implementation practices vary significantly between jurisdictions. This report summarizes the results of a survey, which was intended to share knowledge and experiences between jurisdictions on how transportation departments use performance measurement systems. This report documents the results of the survey on agency use of specific performance measures related to six outcomes: safety; transportation system preservation; sustainability and environmental quality; cost effectiveness; reliability, and; mobility/accessibility.
