TRANSPORTATION AGENCY FOR MONTEREY COUNTY Memorandum | |
| | | | | | | | | To: | Technical Advisory Committee | | From: | Michael Zeller, Director of Programming & Project Delivery | | Meeting Date: | January 4, 2018 | | Subject: | Federal Performance Management Requirements |
| |
| | | | | | | | | RECOMMENDED ACTION: | | RECEIVE presentation on the federal requirements for performance management and target setting. |
| |
| | | | | | | | | SUMMARY: | | Federal law has established nationally consistent metrics for evaluating the performance of transportation infrastructure. Under these requirements, AMBAG, as the federally-designated Metropolitan Planning Agency, must establish regional performance targets or adopt statewide targets for safety, asset management, reliability of travel for people and freight, travel delay, mode share and emissions reductions. AMBAG will be coordinating with TAMC and the other Regional Transportation Planning Agencies in the region on how best to set the regional targets. |
| |
| | | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT: | | AMBAG's work to establish the regional targets and coordinate with relevant stakeholders is funded in its approved budget. However, California's ability to meet performance targets could affect the types of projects that federal funds must be allocated to in the future, which may impact availability of funding for local jurisdictions. |
| |
| | | | | | | | | DISCUSSION: | The U.S. Department of Transportation has issued several rules related to performance measures. These rules require state Departments of Transportation, such as Caltrans, and Metropolitan Planning Organizations, such as AMBAG, to establish regional targets or adopt statewide targets set by Caltrans for each of the performance measures. The ability of the region to meet these performance targets will be reported in the next long range plan update.
The Federal Highway Administration has issued three rules related to performance management:
- Performance Management Rule 1 focuses on safety.
- Performance Management Rule 2 focuses on asset management (pavement and bridge condition).
- Performance Management Rule 3 focuses on system performance, freight and air quality, including reliability, travel delay, mode share and emissions reductions.
The attached report from AMBAG provides an overview of the performance management rules and focuses on the safety performance measures (including fatalities and serious injuries) as well as the target setting process. Caltrans has led a multi-agency effort with a variety of stakeholders, including the Federal Highway Administration, National Highway Traffic Association, California Highway Patrol, California Office of Traffic Safety, Metropolitan Planning Organizations, to develop statewide safety performance targets.
Each of the performance measures will involve target setting, data collection and reporting. For next steps, AMBAG staff will analyze the Monterey Bay Area fatality and serious injury data and propose target options for safety performance measures.
