Performance-Based Planning

Performance Measures

Tracks progress in achieving the Objectives

Objectives

Defines focused elements of the Goals

Vision Statement

Establishes the overarching vision of the plan

Goals

Expands on the Vision Statement in seven areas of emphasis

Strategies and Policies

Details an approach to meet the Performance Measures Top Priorities 1. Transportation projects that place emphasis on maintaining and improving the existing transportation system than on expanding. 2. Transportation projects and programs that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, region’s dependency on oil, reduce vehicle miles traveled and improve regional air quality. 3. Transportation projects should support high-density, mixed used development that helps decrease reliance on personal vehicles. 4. Coordinate amongst the three states to plan for integrating technology into the transportation system. High Priorities 1. Transportation projects that promote healthy lifestyle, like biking and walking. 2. Transportation projects that support revitalization of existing neighborhoods.

Goal 5

Protect and enhance the natural environment and support energy conservation and management Objectives

1.

Reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT) in the region.

2.

Reduce on-road mobile source emissions.

3.

Increase the percentage of trips made by bicycling or walking.

4.

Increase the percentage of commute trips made by transit.

5.

Increase availability of alternative fueling and electric charging stations.

Performance Measures

primary commuter routes.

  • 2. Improve transit on-time performance.
  • 3. Improve utilization of transit vehicles.
  • 4. Implement transportation demand

management (TDM) strategies, with a focus on strategies for downtown, North- West Arterial and East-West Corridors that have been recommended through previous studies.

Performance Measures

  • 1. Overall travel time during peak and off

peak for primary road system.

  • 2. Vehicle miles traveled in the metro

area/population.

  • 3. Annual mileage reports on bus usage.
  • 4. Implementation of East-West corridor

study, North-West Arterial and downtown improvements.
