New NTPP Report Released

This afternoon NTPP released its latest report, Transitioning to a Performance-Based Federal Surface Transportation Policy.

Drawn from the conversations of a workshop that convened leaders in the transportation field, the report identifies a number of actions that should be taken immediately to effectively transition to a performance-based transportation framework. The next step actions include: conducting baseline inventory and assessment of current data collection capacities, investing in systems that help establish performance metrics and data collection techniques, developing performance measures in areas of safety and asset management, and applying national goals and performance measures to existing transportation programs. The report explores the importance of federal performance measures, the need to incentivize performance, and the need for collaboration across federal, state and local agencies moving legislative action forward.
