Table 19: Culture of Collaboration Culture of Collaboration 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.

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 Example Performance Measures Website from Ohio DOT 39
