Accountability
Evaluation related to accountability Table 14: Accountability (15%)
includes an assessment of benefit/cost
analysis per a scoring methodology
described in the Appendix. The applicant
must
include
maintenance
and
operations provisions to be eligible for
scoring criteria for this category;
resources such as available funding must
have been identified to qualify.
Performance measures of the project are
to be prepared by the applicant project to
evaluate
the
project
post-
implementation to enable ALDOT to track
progress toward TSMO objectives.
Collaboration
Table 15: Collaboration (10%)
Collaboration is important for overall
ALDOT TSMO program success. Areas
with high potential for collaboration and
coordination, such as hubs, or
local/regional activity centers, are
strategic areas where projects can
provide high impact and further ALDOT
TSMO program success. Additional
collaboration from a funding perspective
either through public partnerships, or
private partnerships, can enable greater
reach and program success through joint-
venture funding and coordination.
Innovation
Table 16: Innovation (10%)
Innovation will continue to be an
important element of any future
endeavor. Future technologies, including
enhanced Traffic Management System
Support via integration for example, with
the latest statewide communications
infrastructure, will be considered for any
large-scale project deployment. Likewise,
continuing to encourage and design
projects for Multimodal options and/or
CAV applications will better enable
ALDOT to adapt to changes in travel patterns and travel technologies in the future.
