Transportation Performance Management
What is Transportation Performance Management (TPM)?TPM requires agencies to use a coordinated, performance-based approach to make transportation decisions that support national goals established in transportation legislation for the federal-aid highway and public transportation programs. These national goals are:
- Safety: To achieve a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads and public transportation systems
- Infrastructure Condition: To maintain the highway infrastructure and transit capital asset systems in a state of good repair
- Congestion Reduction: To achieve a significant reduction in congestion on the National Highway System (NHS)
- System Reliability: To improve the efficiency of the surface transportation system
- Freight Movement and Economic Vitality: To improve the national freight network, strengthen the ability of rural communities to access national and international trade markets, and support regional economic development
- Environmental Sustainability: To enhance the performance of the transportation system while protecting and enhancing the natural environment
- Reduced Project Delivery Delays: To reduce project costs, promote jobs and the economy, and expedite the movement of people and goods by accelerating project completion through eliminating delays in the project development and delivery process, including reducing regulatory burdens and improving agencies' work practice
For more information about TPM please visit the FHWA website here.
The US Department of Transportation (USDOT) established performance measures to track progress toward achievement of the national goals through a series of federal rulemakings that require states, MPOs, and public transportation agencies to establish performance targets for each measure, monitor performance, and report to USDOT on performance and progress toward meeting the targets. The federal performance measure rules cover highway safety, highway asset management, highway system performance, transit asset management, and public transportation safety.
MPOs may choose to set their own targets or support the state DOT targets. KYOVA has chosen to support the state DOT targets for each of the performance measures. The measures and targets are listed below:
PM 1 – Safety
| West Virginia 2024 TARGET | Kentucky 2024 TARGET | Ohio 2024 TARGET | |
| Fatalities | 246 | 757 | 1,172 |
| Serious Injuries | 775 | 2,644 | 7,270 |
| Fatality Rate (per 100 million VMT) | 1.59 | 1.560 | 1.05 |
| Serious Injury Rate (per 100 million VMT) | 5.019 | 5.520 | 6.51 |
