On August 2224, 2004, the Transportation Research Board (TRB) convened the Second National Conference on Performance Measures in Irvine, California. The conference sponsored jointly by TRB, the Federal Highway Administration, and the Federal Transit Administration brought together approximately 125 individuals from across the transportation planning communities, at national, state, regional, and local levels and from the public and private sectors and academia. More than 20 state departments of transportation participated in the conference, along with a similar number of local and regional agencies. The first National Performance Measures Conference was held in November 2000. With transportation agencies just beginning to explore performance measures at that time, the first conference focused on the definition of performance measures. Potential measures were identified, and their use within transportation agencies was encouraged. Since 2000 the use of performance measures has increased greatly, both in the number of agencies adopting them and in the applications of the measures. Thus the second national conference continued the dialogue on the use of performance measures in transportation agencies and provided a forum to exchange perspectives on performance measures used throughout the transportation delivery process. The Second National Conference on Performance Measures had two primary objectives: to explore the implementation and use of performance measures and to discuss how to monitor the impact of performance measures on the delivery and quality of transportation services. |
