(a) System performance. The department will develop
a set of performance measures for evaluating the effectiveness of
its expenditures on the statewide transportation system in achieving
the transportation goals identified by the statewide long-range transportation
plan under §16.54 of this chapter (relating to Statewide Long-Range
Transportation Plan (SLRTP)).
(b) Performance measures. At a minimum, the performance
measures adopted under subsection (a) of this section will include
the:
(1) percentage of transportation construction projects
for which the project development phases, including environmental
clearance, right of way acquisition or possession, utility adjustment
or coordination, completion of plans, specifications, and estimates,
and award of construction contract are completed on or before the
planned implementation timelines and on-budget;
(2) percentage of transportation construction projects
for which construction is completed on or before the planned implementation
timelines and on-budget;
(3) total dollar amount spent for right of way acquisition
as a percentage of the original amount estimated for right of way
acquisition;
(4) number of vehicle miles traveled;
(5) peak hour travel congestion in the eight largest
metropolitan areas;
(6) number of fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles
traveled;
(7) percentage of bridges that have a condition rating
of good or better;
(8) dollar amounts deposited to the credit of the state
highway fund and disbursements from the fund compared to the amounts
forecasted to be deposited and disbursed, respectively;
(9) dollar amounts obligated in connection with contracts
or participation in contracts with historically underutilized businesses,
disadvantaged business enterprises, and small business enterprises
as a percentage of the amounts spent on all contracts; and
(10) percentage of lane miles on the state highway
system that have a pavement condition rating of good or better.
(c) Additional performance measures. The commission,
as it deems appropriate, may adopt performance measures in addition
to those listed in subsection (b) of this section.
(d) Reports on effectiveness of expenditures. As a
component of the performance reporting system required by this section,
the department will include:
(1) reports prepared by the department or an institution
of higher education that evaluate the effectiveness of the department's
expenditures on transportation projects to achieve the transportation
goals identified by the SLRTP;
(2) information about the condition of bridges on the
state highway system; and
(3) information about the condition of the pavement
for each highway on the state highway system.
(e) Updates. The department will update the information
contained in the performance reporting system under this section at
least annually.
(f) Annual Report. As a component of the project and
performance reporting system required by this section, the department
annually will compile and evaluate the information provided for the
performance measures and publish a report describing the results and
the effectiveness of meeting each transportation goal that is identified
by the statewide long-range transportation plan under §16.54
of this chapter. The department will report on the results and level
of achievement statewide and by district.
