In accordance with the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act), state Departments of Transportation and Metropolitan Planning Organizations must use a transportation performance management approach in carrying out their federally required transportation planning and programming activities. The process requires the establishment and use of a coordinated performance-based approach to transportation decision-making to support national goals for the federal-aid highway and public transportation programs. For more information on performance management, visit the Federal Highway Administration Website:

HAMPO has adopted the following Performance Measures (PM) for project planning and post-project performance:

• PM I – Safety: Are we reducing crash frequency and severity?
• PM II – State of Good Repair: Are we maintaining our systems?
• PM III – Congestion: Are we managing our travel times by holding or increasing our level of service?
• PM IV – Transit Assets: Are our transit fleets and facilities maintained and replaced on a regular schedule?
