Goal
25 Continue quarterly TSMO Leaders Workshops. Rotate stakeholder invitees from other
ALDOT Departments. 26 Develop an ALDOT TSMO Website with: TSMO overview, educational materials
(brochures, service layer plans, presentation materials), program overview, key
performance measures, key contacts, roles and responsibilities, resources, etc. A, C
27 Complete basic CMM assessment on an annual cycle. Develop an action plan to address
the most critical needs on a biennial basis. A, C

5.3.2 Performance Measurement
The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) bill, passed in June 2012, formally
established the practice of performance-based planning and programming to support decision-making in
transportation management and operations. Theses performance measurement requirements provide
greater consistency in reporting with a focus on safety and mobility. In addition, there is a stated
expectation that performance data will be used to inform operations, planning, and programming
decisions. For safety, these metrics focus on reducing fatalities and serious injuries while for mobility, they
focus on interstate reliability and excessive delay. TSMO performance measures are required to be in line
with the goals of MAP-21 and those agencies that do not meet self-established goals are subject to
constraints on future funding. Furthermore, using data to drive management and operations is basic good
practice; making it possible to optimize performance and be as efficient as possible within the given
constrains of an area.
ALDOT has been moving in the direction of integrating performance measures into programming,
management, and operations—reviewing incident clearance times, focusing on high crash and congested
areas, etc. The recommended methodologies of
project development and prioritization will also
establish data-driven practices. It is further
recommended that ALDOT develop performance
measurement goals and develop resources to
facilitate optimization systems and processes.
Current performance measure trends and
initiatives that are being implemented
throughout the nation include:
•
•
Corridor mobility and reliability
o travel time
TIM measures
o response times
o clearance times
o secondary crashes
