Performance Based Planning and Federal Target Setting
Transportation Policy Board April 12, 2018
Presentation Overview
• Background – Federal Performance Requirements
• Progress to date
• What has PSRC accomplished so far?
• What measures and targets remain to be finalized in 2018?
• How does PSRC go beyond these requirements?
Federal Requirements - Background
MAP-21 and the FAST Act established new emphasis on performance
and outcome based planning
• Required USDOT to establish performance measures in a number of areas
• State DOTs and MPOs to “collaboratively” set targets for these measures
• Regular coordination has been going on between WSDOT and MPOs since 2016
• Target Setting Framework Group – WSDOT and MPO Directors
• Target Setting Working Group and Technical Teams – WSDOT and MPO Staff
• Federal performance measures are specific and prescriptive
Progress to Date
PSRC Board Schedule
Performance Targets Action
Transit Asset Management Approved June 2017
Safety Performance Approved January 2018
Bridge and Pavement Condition Due Fall 2018
System Performance Due Fall 2018
Freight Movement Due Fall 2018
Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality
Improvement Program (CMAQ)
Due Fall 2018
Upcoming Federal Targets
• Bridge Condition – Percentage of state bridges classified as good or poor
• Pavement Condition – Percentage of pavement on the National Highway System
and the Interstate in good or poor condition
• Freight Movement - truck travel time reliability on the Interstate
• System Performance –
• Travel time reliability on the National Highway System
• Traffic congestion – peak hour delay, and percent of non-SOV travel
• Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program - Emissions reduced
from projects funded with CMAQ dollars
PSRC Performance Measures
• How many boardings are occurring every year on the
region’s fixed route transit system?
• How many people have access to a bus or train that
operates every 15 minutes or less?
• How many people walk and bike to get somewhere
everyday?
• How many miles do people travel in a car on an
average day?
• How many hours do people spend sitting in traffic each
year?

Annual Transit Ridership
PSRC has many measures to better tell the story of travel and growth:
• How many hours do trucks spend sitting in
traffic each year?
• How long does it take to drive between key
destinations?
• How long does transit take to get you between
some key destinations?
• How much are regional emissions forecast to
decline?

Summer 2018
• Discussion of state targets, draft regional targets
Fall 2018
• Recommend action on regional targets for:
• Bridge and pavement condition
• Freight movement
• System performance
• CMAQ / emissions
Ongoing
• Continued refinements to PSRC modeling and evaluation measures
• Regular reporting on federal targets as data is available
