Book excerpt: This report follows an earlier AASHTO report for the National Surface Transportation Policy and Revenue Study Commission (the Commission) entitled State DOT Performance Management Programs: Select Examples, published in June 2007. It examined performance-based surface transportation program approaches currently being implemented at some of the state DOTs around the country. Building on that primer, this report describes the basic principles involved in applying performance measurement to the state budgeting and program delivery process, and profiles how 11 states have applied these principles to improve performance and accountability.

Book excerpt: This report documents the proceedings from the 4th Integrated Transportation Management Systems (ITMS) Conference, ITMS: A Key Strategy to Optimize Surface Transportation System Performance, held in Newark, New Jersey on July 15-18, 2001. The purpose of the conference was to identify potential initiatives and opportunities to help advance the state-of-the-art in planning, designing, deploying, operating, and evaluating ITMS. Vol. 1 summarize the presentations from the general sessions and the breakout sessions. Vol. 2 white papers include defining ITMS, institutional issues and opportunities, planning for ITMS, designing for ITMS, management and operations, traffic management strategies and operational plans, and performance measurement.

Book excerpt: This progress report describes the development of the NTS initiative and proposed future activities to bring the NTS to its full potential. A set of preliminary national transportation performance indicators is proposed. These performance indicators should be seen as the beginning of a process rather than as the definitive set of national transportation system indicators. A second part of the NTS analytical process involves the development and application of a national transportation network analysis capability (NTNAC) that will provide the ability to evaluate the national network in a multi- modal manner. Using the NTNAC, problems with the Nation's transportation system can be identified and policy options to address these problems evaluated. The report concludes with a discussion of the use of the NTS within the Department. It is proposed that the results of the analyses carried out using the national transportation performance measures and the NTNAC in the assessment of the Nation's transportation system, the identification of issues, and the analysis of options be presented in biennial State of the National Transportation System reports.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to officials of municipal, regional, and statewide transportation agencies who are responsible for the management of surface transportation systems in metropolitan areas. It presents information on the processes used by transportation agencies to monitor, evaluate, and implement a variety of solutions to the management of surface transportation systems. This is a complex and dynamic area of application, and the examples presented herein represent a selection of such applications in 1997. The concept of transportation system management is constantly changing and will continue to change, especially with further implementation of intelligent transportation systems. This report of the Transportation Research Board provides an overview of the generalized process that transportation agencies have found to be effective in managing the various aspects of their transportation systems. Specific case examples of effective management strategies are described for several metropolitan areas including Houston, Seattle, metropolitan New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Minneapolis/St. Paul.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congress created the National Surface Transportation Policy and Revenue Study Commission to examine "future surface transportation system needs, expected demographic and economic changes that will shape traffic demand, the future of the Interstate System, and the potential for expansion, upgrades, and other changes to the surface transportation system to meet the nation's needs." The Commission was directed to consult with representatives of State departments of transportation. This report is the first of six that AASHTO plans to provide to assist the Commission. It contains a comprehensive assessment of transportation needs today and in the future, and the demographic and economic changes that will shape that future.

Download or read book Performance Measures Data Acquisition and Performance Evaluation Under the National Transportation System written by Ned Codd and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Transportation System (NTS), an outgrowth of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA), is proposed in this research as an analytical tool to guide national transportation policy making. The NTS must be based upon measures of transportation performance that are intermodal, user oriented, and suitable for tracking the environmental, social, and economic outcomes of transportation system use. A set of such performance measures is proposed, and implications of the measures for various modes are discussed. This proposal and discussion of performance measures is the critical component of this report. A major concern in the implementation of these performance measures is the data that supports them. A great deal of data is required to track the performance of the basic components of NTS analysis: major transportation facilities and regional transportation systems. Appropriate data sources for the NTS performance measures are identified, a sample of demonstration data is applied to the performance measures, and problems with data acquisition and application are discussed. A general framework for using the performance measures to achieve the NTS policy objective is proposed, and the implications of geographic information systems (GIS) and other technologies are discussed. Conclusions and recommendations from this research are presented.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document provides a summary of the 1995 Status of the Nation's Surface Transportation System: Condition and Performance Report to Congress. It finds that personal and freight transport demands on our systems are at an all time high and are expected to increase with population and economic growth, but at a slower rate than experienced in past decades. While the U.S. population has increased 1.16 percent annually since 1980, the number of trips per person and miles per trip have increased about three times as fast. The physical condition of the surface transportation system has generally been stable, with States and local governments investing at rates approximately equal to the cost of maintaining the physical plant. Improved highway conditions have, to some extent, resulted in a significant decline in highway fatality rates over the past decade. In contrast, highway system performance has been declining; this is reflected in various measures of congestion. The quality of transit performance has improved with increases in average speed, reductions in wait times and number of transfers as well as reductions in trip times.
