MAP-21 Performance Management Framework

• Overview of Framework– USDOT Performance Measures– State, Transit Agency, MPO Performance

Targets– State, Transit Agency, MPO Performance Plans

• Performance-based Transit Programs– Transit Asset Management (5326)– Safety (5329)– Metropolitan and Statewide Planning

(5303/5304)2

3

MAP-21 Performance Management Framework

• To increase accountability and transparency– Seven national goals– USDOT performance measures– State and transit agency performance

targets and plans– MPO performance based planning and

programming

4

MAP-21 Performance Management Framework

7 National Goals1. Safety2. Infrastructure Condition3. Congestion Reduction4. System Reliability5. Freight Mobility and Economic Vitality6. Environmental Sustainability7. Reduced Project Delivery Delays

5

DOT Performance Measures

• FTA Standards and Measures– State of Good Repair– Safety

• FHWA “150(c)” Standards and Measures” – Highway Safety – injuries and fatalities– Bridge and Pavement Conditions– Traffic Congestion and Mobile Source Emissions– Freight Movement on Interstate System– Performance on Interstate and NHS

6

Establish Performance Targets

• Transit Agencies (FTA Grantees)– To establish SGR performance targets not later

than 3 months after TAM Rule– To establish Safety performance targets 1 year

after Final Safety Rule

• States to establish performance targets not later than 1 year after 150(c) measures established

7

Develop Performance Based Plans

• FTA Grantees (Title 49)– Transit Asset Management Plan– Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan

• FHWA Grantees (Title 23)– State Highway Safety Improvement Plan– State NHS Asset Management Plan– Congestion Management Plan (TMA> 1 million)– State Freight Plan (optional)

8

FTA Performance-based Programs

• Transit Asset Management (5326)• Public Transportation Safety (5329)• Metropolitan transportation planning

(5303)• Statewide and Nonmetropolitan planning

(5304)

Transit Asset Management49 U.S.C. 5326

• Requires FTA to establish National Transit Asset Management System through rulemaking process:– Define state of good repair (SGR)– Establish SGR performance measures– Recipients and subrecipients implement transit

asset management plans– Report to the NTD asset inventory data– FTA shall provide technical assistance

10

National Transit Asset Management System

11

4 Proposed Methods for Defining SGR

12

SGR Performance Measures• FTA must define SGR with objective standards

for measuring conditions, and establish a performance measure

• Each recipient sets their own target within 3 months of FTA establishing the measure:– No reward for making a target– No penalty for missing a target

• Annual Report:– System condition and any change since last report– SGR performance targets– Progress towards meeting SGR targets

13

Transit Asset Management Plans

• Recipients and subrecipients must develop a TAM Plan

• FTA plans targeted, risk-based oversight of TAM Plan certifications

• FTA plans to minimize impacts on small grantees

TAM Plan Requirements:1) Asset inventory with condition assessments2) Investment prioritization3) Certification by the recipient to FTA

14

NTD Asset Inventory Module

• Expand NTD Reporting of Asset Inventory Data– Vehicles already reported, plan to include other

assets– NTD reporting requirements will be handled

separately from the rule-making– Likely separate notices for urban and rural

• Pre-pilot conducted in 2012– Minimize reporting burden– Focus on essential data needed by FTA

15

Technical Assistance• Two statutory requirements:

– Decision support tool for investment prioritization

– Analytical process for capital investment needs (TERM-Lite)

• Transit Asset Management Guide• Reports from TAM pilot projects

• More to come!

16

Public Transportation Safety Program

49 U.S.C. 5329• Authorizes FTA to oversee safety of

public transportation• Safety framework to include:

– Safety performance criteria for all modes

– Vehicle safety performance standards– Public transportation safety certificate

training program– Public transit agency safety plans – State safety oversight program

17

Public Transportation Safety Program

49 U.S.C. 5329National Public Transportation

Safety Plan– Requires FTA to create and implement

plan– Requires plan to include

• Safety performance criteria for all public transportation modes

• Definition of State of Good Repair established under 5326

• Minimum performance safety standards for transit vehicles not regulated by other DOT modes

18

Public Transportation Safety Program

49 U.S.C. 5329Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan

• All FTA recipients must develop and update annually a board-approved plan

• Plan must include:– Strategies for identifying safety risks– Strategies for minimizing exposure to hazards– Performance targets based on safety

performance criteria and state of good repair standards

• Establish Safety performance targets 1 year after Final Safety Rule

– Comprehensive staff training program– Assignment of trained safety officer who

reports to CEO

19

Public Transportation Safety Program

49 U.S.C. 5329Public Transportation Agency

Safety Plan• 5311 Recipients

– Plan may be drafted and certified by either recipient or State

• 5307 Recipients: Small Providers/Systems– FTA will designate small

providers/systems that may have plan drafted and certified by State

20

State and Nonmetropolitan Transportation Planning ( 49

U.S.C. 5304)• Requires States to:

– Establish performance targets in coordination with MPOs not later than 1 year after 150(c) performance measures established

– Establish public transportation performance targets in coordination with providers of public transportation in areas with no MPO

– Integrate performance based plans into statewide transportation planning process

– Use performance measures and targets to develop plans, programs and investment priorities

– Describe performance measures, targets and system performance in statewide transportation plan

– Link investment priorities in STIP to performance targets

21

Metropolitan Transportation Planning

49 U.S.C. 5303 • Requires MPOs to:

– Establish performance targets within 180 days after State and public transportation providers establish performance targets

• Coordinate with providers of public transportation to select SGR and safety targets

• Coordinate with State to select 150(c) targets– Integrate performance based plans into metropolitan

transportation planning process – Describe performance measures and targets used to

assess system performance in the metropolitan transportation plan

– Report on progress in meeting performance targets in metro plan

– Demonstrate link between investment priorities and performance targets in TIP

23

MAP-21 Performance Management ProvisionsNext Steps

• FTA will publish an Advanced Notices of Proposed Rulemakings on Transit Asset Management and Safety

• FHWA and FTA will jointly publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on Metropolitan and Statewide Planning

• FHWA will publish three Notice of Proposed Rulemakings on the 150(c) Performance Measures– Safety– Pavement and Bridge Conditions– Congestion Mitigation, Mobile Sources, Reliability of the

NHS/Interstate Highway Systems• Effective date of Federal Performance Management

Provisions is Spring 2015
