Performance Measures |
Goal: Improve Efficiency
- Objective: reduce congestion with cost-effective, non-widening solutions that use technology to the best advantage, such as traffic management and transportation demand management
|
System Preservation, Modernization, and Efficiency
- Put a priority on programs, services, and projects that maximize efficiency through ITS, technology, TSM, and M&O; turn to technology before expansion
|
System Preservation, Modernization, and Efficiency
- System achieves maximum efficiency, reliability, and mobility (regionwide) through system preservation, ITS, technology, management and operations (M&O) programs, and a balanced program of strategic investments
- Innovative approaches reduce auto dependency and actively promote other modes
- Modernization of the existing system provides accessibility and access for all; serves more people
|
- Real-time traffic monitoring and management systems
- Integration of the payment system for tolls, park-and-ride lots, and transit
- Improved response to weather and road surface problems
- Access management
- Metered ramps
- Transit signal priority
- New HOV lanes
- Reversible commuter lanes and movable median barriers
- Incident management systems
- Work-zone management systems
- Weather-related diversion plans
|
- Travel speed
- Speed index
- Delay
- Traffic volume
- Vehicle occupancy
- Level of service
- Approach speed
- Approach delay
- Volume/capacity ratio
- Travel time savings (HOV lanes)
|
Goal: Increase Mobility
- Objective: make non-single-occupant-vehicle transportation modes (walking, bicycling, transit, carpooling) more available, convenient, safe, and attractive for everyone
|
Mobility
- Strengthen connections between modes; close gaps in the existing network
- Improve access and accessibility to transit
- Improve transit frequency, span, and reliability
- Expand transit, bicycle, and pedestrian networks; focus bicycle investments (lanes and paths) on moving people between activity centers (and access to transit)
- Integrate payment methods for fares and parking across modes.
- Support TDM, TMAs, shuttles, and carpooling
- Seek low-cost solutions to capacity constraints and bottlenecks in the existing system before expansion
|
Mobility
- There are more transportation options and accessibility for all; all modes (including freight); all corridors
- System provides reliable service; delays, congestion, and travel time are reduced
- Transit ridership and use of sustainable options are increased
- The system meets people’s needs; funding is guided by attention to customer service
- Existing transit, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities are linked in a network
|
- Provide and market real-time information on travel conditions, alternate routes, and alternate modes
- Provide transit users with real-time transit arrival information
- New bus rapid transit routes
- Increase transit frequency and span
- Improvements to bicycle and pedestrian routes that lead to transit stops
- Provisions for bicycles at transit stops and on transit vehicles
|
- Vehicle occupancy
- On-time performance
- Passenger crowding
- Lot capacity and utilization
- Time a lot fills up
- Bicycle parking availability and utilization
- Number of crashes (involving bicyclists/pedestrians)
- Crash rate (involving bicyclists/pedestrians)
|
Goal: Improve Safety
- Objective: reduce crashes for all modes; focus especially on improving safety for pedestrians and bicyclists, and on reducing the number of incident-related crashes
|
Safety and Security
- Maintain the transportation system in a state of good repair
- Use state-of-the-practice safety elements; address roadway safety deficiencies (after safety audits) and transit safety requirements (including federal mandates)
- Support incident management programs and ITS
- Improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists; ensure that safety provisions are incorporated into shared-use corridors
- Give priority to safety projects that reduce the severity of crashes, especially those that improve safety for all
|
Safety and Security
- The transportation system provides safe transportation (personal and operational) on all modes
- The number and severity of crashes are reduced
- Transit has state-of-the-practice ITS and communication systems; transit malfunctions are reduced
|
- Optimization of traffic signal timing
- Geometric improvements to roads and intersections
- Geometric improvements to roads and intersections
- Improvements to bicycle and pedestrian routes that lead to transit stops
-
|
- Number of crashes (all modes)
- Crash rate (all modes)
