The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) has used performance measures to monitor the State's transportation system for years. Collecting data has helped ODOT better track asset condition, evaluate system performance, project the outcome of investment choices, and communicate with external decision-makers and stakeholders. Nevertheless, opportunities remain to improve agency performance measurement and reporting practices. ODOT staff note the need for better coordination among goals, measures, and reporting procedures within the agency and alignment with trends and requirements emerging at the Federal and state levels. Better alignment and coordination of goals and measures could reduce duplication of effort and streamline reporting procedures, and could improve communication with state decision-makers and Federal funding agencies. The objectives of this ODOT Research Section study are to improve efficiency through better coordination among goals, measures, and reporting procedures within the agency; align goals and measures with emerging Federal and state trends; and improve the usefulness of performance measures through better data collection, analysis, and communication. |
