The Transportation Performance Program is responsible for projects and processes that address federal requirements related to performance measurement and target setting. The program is based on the Performance Measurement Framework developed by MAG in 2009 and is continuously adjusted in response to federal regulations set forth by the requirements in the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) and continued in the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act.
In addition to establishing and monitoring federal performance targets, the program is responsible for the implementation of performance-based planning and programming processes and project evaluation. A variety of methodologies have been developed and implemented by the program to achieve that goal and firmly establish the link between regional goals and objectives and performance measures.
