The measures in this report support and are organized around the four major goal areas of the State Long-Range Transportation Plan - Stewardship, Safety and Security, System Improvement and Efficient and Effective Operations. This initial report moves beyond the MDOT pavement and bridge condition goals, that expired in 2007, as set by the State Transportation Commission. Since then, an internal MDOT working team developed new pavement goals and that process evolved into an effort to develop a collection of performance measures that would reflect various aspects of the transportation system, including trunkline pavement conditions, trunkline bridge conditions, level of service, local airport conditions, local transit fleet condition, passenger rail service levels, and more.
The measures included in this initial report are only a representative sample of the countless measurements and data collections that could be potentially tracked by MDOT in the course of overseeing the building, maintenance, and operation of the state's transportation system. The report is a work in progress. Through experience and feedback, MDOT will be able to determine the appropriate mix of measures and be able to easily collect and routinely report a set of measures to give a reliable, useful and meaningful picture of the condition of our transportation system.
