Making Performance Count

At the 4th International Transportation Systems Performance Measurement Conference, Steve Heminger, the Executive Director of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, presented key national recommendations to reshape the federal surface transportation program. Advocating for a performance-driven, outcome-based framework, he emphasized the need for a mode-neutral approach focused on genuine national interests. The conference highlighted critical metrics, such as reducing traffic-related deaths and VMT, while setting ambitious targets for 2035. Emphasizing lessons learned, the discussion stressed the importance of assessing project benefits and establishing aggressive goals.

  2. A Matter of National Importance

  3. National Commission Recommendations • The federal surface transportation program should not be reauthorized in its current form. Instead, we should make a new beginning. • The federal program should be performance-driven, outcome-based, generally mode-neutral, and refocused to pursue objectives of genuine national interest.

  8. An Example of Regional Action

  9. Performance Targets For 2035 compared to 2005

  10. Performance Targets cont. For 2035 compared to 2005

  11. Scenario Results (1) 11

  12. 6. Direct new non-agricultural 95% development within urban footprint 100% * measured in housing units * 97% 7. Reduce housing + transportation 3% costs as share of low-income -10% households' budgets -4% * preliminary results * 80% 8. Increase gross regional product 90% [GRP] IVS target result not yet available 5% 9a. Reduce per-trip travel time for -10% non-auto trips 7% 19% 9a. Increase non-auto mode share 25% (alternative target) 20% Current Regional Plans -8% -10% 9b. Reduce VMT per capita -10% Initial Vision Scenario Scenario Results (2) 12

  13. Scenario Results (3) 13

  14. Committed Projects by Development Phase (Transportation 2035 Projects) Capacity Increasing, Greater than $50 million Notes: (1) Additional T2035 projects may have progressed to construction (2) Some projects included in the numbers above are deemed committed because they are Prop.1B CMIA or TCIF projects

  15. Project Assessment Outcomes • Benefit/Cost Measure • Delay & travel time • Particulate emissions • C02 emissions • Collisions • Direct user costs 15

  16. Lessons Learned • Performance-based results are more helpful for strong projects than harmful to weak ones. • Big question: which projects get assessed? • Wide-ranging targets (from affordable housing to greenhouse gases) are straining travel models. • Don’t be afraid of aggressive goals – just get a good lawyer.
