Growing into Performance Management at the Boston Region MPO September 25, 2018 Michelle Scott, MPO Staff Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization
Overview What is our MPO context? • Where are we starting from with performance- • based planning and programming (PBPP)? What have we experienced when implementing • PBPP practices? What comes next? •
Boston Region MPO Characteristics
Existing Activities and PBPP MPO Goals and Objectives Scenario Transportation Planning for Needs Long-Range Analysis Performance- Plan based Planning and Programming (PBPP) Congestion TIP Project Management Selection Process Criteria Analysis
PBPP Growth Areas Communicating PBPP principles and • requirements Managing system and project-level data to • understand current and potential performance Coordinating with partners to develop targets • and address PBPP requirements Telling a story about transportation • performance in the MPO region
Introducing PBPP Concepts Created a framework that integrates • different types of federal requirements • Explain how this framework builds COORDINATE upon what the MPO already does Explain how the MPO can make the • PBPP framework their own PBPP Handbook available at • bostonmpo.org/performance
PBPP Process Questions What story are the federal measures trying to • tell and why? Why is the federal TMP framework structured • the way that it is? How should the MPO approach target setting, • given federal requirements and state targets? How do we factor past and more recent MPO • investments into target setting? TMP = Transportation Performance Management.
PBPP Data Management System Needs and Challenges : data Leverage available state and MPO • data and resources to understand performance Performance Measurement • Address limitations in data sources that affect trend analysis • Portray anticipated impacts of all projects in the region Project data (not just MPO-funded projects)
Integrating Project Data Cost and Funding Needs and Challenges : Sources Integrate different systems • Scope and to manage all necessary data Characteristics Identify data to measure project • contributions to performance Evaluation Results Account for project scope • changes Anticipated Project Contribution to Performance Measures
MPO Target-setting Status Performance Measure Group Local Partners Approach • MassDOT • Highway Safety Executive Office of Public Support state targets Safety and Security • Transit Asset Three transit agencies Adopt transit agency • Management MassDOT targets • CMAQ Traffic Two State DOTs in UZA Adopt UZA targets • Congestion One additional MPO in UZA Set MPO-level targets • CMAQ Emissions State DOT (for maintenance area) CMAQ = Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement. DOT = Department of Transportation. UZA = Urbanized Area.
Coordination for PBPP Positive Experiences Stronger relationships between transportation agencies Opportunities to connect MPO board members to subject matter experts Good outcomes when groups work together to review data and address requirements and challenges Challenges Limited or delayed information exchanges and coordination, in some cases Selecting analysis approaches when data options are new or limited Addressing political realities of performance measures and target setting
Storytelling in the TIP MPO Goal Areas For each MPO goal area: Safety • • Available trend data from state, System Preservation • MPO, or other sources • Capacity Management and Mobility • Applicable federal performance measures and targets Clean Air and Clean • Communities • Aggregate information on MPO- Transportation Equity • funded projects, based on Economic Vitality • project evaluation process
Storytelling: MPO Performance Dashboard Dashboard available at bostonmpo.org/performance
Upcoming Areas for Growth Use more sophisticated methods for setting • performance targets Bring PBPP more fully into MPO project • selection discussions Enhance project data for prospective and • retrospective analysis Balance performance measures with other • decision criteria Build an MPO-specific PBPP process •
