With the growing interest in both performance-based planning and transportation sustainability, many efforts are underway to modernize transportation performance measures to reflect today’s challenges. This modernization movement has led to innovative measures for key concepts such as access to employment, access to transit, bicycle and pedestrian level of service, network connectivity, and greenhouse gas emissions.
While some state Departments of Transportations (DOTs) have developed sustainability plans and a few metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) use performance measures that reflect the leading edge of practice, a broad array of the emerging measures has seldom been applied comprehensively to inform capital spending priorities and core operations programs. The importance of sustainability in transportation decision making is highlighted by the formation of the HUD-DOT-EPA Interagency Partnership for Sustainability Communities—between the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
This webinar will discuss how MPOs and other transportation agencies are using performance measures to promote sustainability in transportation decision-making. Attendees will learn:
- When and how performance measures can be applied (including planning, corridor studies, programming, and performance monitoring)
- Data collection and analytical tools to support the sustainability performance measures
- Real-world examples of sustainability performance measure use by transportation agencies
The webinar will outline opportunities to apply sustainable performance measures across the transportation decision-making process.
