PERFORMANCE MEASURES COURSE

The Coalition’s Performance Measures course summarizes the plethora of information on Performance Measures and is available, free of charge, on the Coalition’s website.  The course examines various aspects of performance measurement from the characteristics of performance measures to the steps of their development process. The principles of comparative performance measurement are discussed and exemplified by the AASHTO Strategic Focus Areas and Sample Core Measures. The current state of the practice is illustrated by a description of the approaches used in several states, with special emphasis on congestion - one of the most common measures used by transportation agencies. Congestion is further explored in a case-study on the calculation of congestion in Maryland.
