Performance-Based Planning and Programming

Current federal surface transportation legislation includes several provisions that have increased the focus of the Federal surface transportation program toward the achievement of performance outcomes. In accordance with the surface transportation legislation, GVMC is coordinating with our local, state, and federal partners to implement performance-based planning and programming (PBPP) in our region. This page will be updated regularly to reflect developments in the process. 

Federal Performance Measures and Targets

Federal Performance Measures are FHWA-established measures that are used to assess performance in carrying out performance based Federal-aid highway programs. Under the federal PBPP requirements, states and MPOs must set targets for each of the federal performance measures. States set their targets first and then MPOs have 180 days from the time the state sets targets to decide whether to support state targets, develop their own regional targets, or a combination of both, depending on the measure. Timelines vary based upon the effective dates of each final rule (see FHWA TPM Implementation Timeline link below). GVMC has been participating in target development coordination meetings with MDOT and federal partners. See below for targets that have been finalized. 

Interactive Dashboard

The dashboard below contains the currently adopted performance measures and performance targets by performance area. Use the tabs on the bottom of the dashboard to select the performance area you would like to view data for.

Please note that the dashboard is optimized for desktop use. Click here to view the dashboard in a separate window.
