NATIONAL GOALS 5 Goal AreaNational Goal SafetyReduce fatalities & serious injuries on all public roads Infrastructure conditionMaintain a state of good repair Congestion reductionSignificantly reduce congestion on the NHS System reliabilityImprove the efficiency of the surface system Freight movement & economic vitality Improve the national freight network, access of rural communities to markets, & economic development Environmental sustainability Enhance system performance while protecting and enhancing the environment Reduced project delivery delays Accelerate project completion by eliminating delays in the project delivery process

PERFORMANCE MEASURES  Safety Performance  Number of fatalities and number of serious injuries  Rate of fatalities and rate of serious injuries 6

PERFORMANCE MEASURES  Pavement and Bridge  Percentage of pavements in the Interstate System in good and poor condition  Percentage of pavements of the non-Interstate NHS in good and poor condition  Percentage of NHS bridges classified as being in good and poor condition 7

STRATEGIC HIGHWAY RESEARCH PROGRAM 2 (SHRP 2)  SHRP 2 was created to  Improve highway safety  Reduce congestion  Improve methods for renewing roads and bridges  KYOVA will use its SHRP 2 grant to establish a process that  Conforms to national and state standards  Is easily repeatable  Coordinates with available data and data gathering practices 9

STRATEGIC HIGHWAY RESEARCH PROGRAM 2 (SHRP 2) TIMELINE OF EVENTS  January-March 2015 – KYOVA applied for and was awarded funding for C02: Performance Measures for Highway Capacity Decision-Making  May 2015 – Kickoff Conference Call with FHWA and completion of Statement of Work  August 2015 – Notification to proceed with work  September-November 2015 – Identify stakeholders and prepare for FHWA workshop  November 2015 – Stakeholder workshop  June 2016 – Complete SHRP 2 Implementation Assistance project 10

STRATEGIC HIGHWAY RESEARCH PROGRAM 2 (SHRP 2) IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE Task #Deliverable/ActivityTimeframe 1Identify stakeholders1 week 2Kickoff meeting with stakeholders (merged with FHWA workshop)2 weeks 3Data needs coordination4 weeks 4Preparation for FHWA workshop4 weeks 5Conduct workshop with FHWA and stakeholders1 week 6Summarize feedback from FHWA workshop2 weeks 7Additional data gathering and coordination4 weeks 8Develop action plan for C02 tool application4 weeks 9Prepare C02 tool performance documentation2 weeks 10Presentation to agency stakeholders2 weeks 11

STRATEGIC HIGHWAY RESEARCH PROGRAM 2 (SHRP 2) FHWA WORKSHOP  Stakeholders will hear from representatives from FHWA, KYOVA, WVDOT, KYTC, and ODOT about current and forthcoming work on performance measures  Break-out group brainstorming to generate ideas on future “action steps”  Group dialogue on the framework and components of the Action Plan  Discussion of next steps for developing and implementing the Action Plan 12

2040 METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN PRIORITIZATION CRITERIA  Efficiency  Reduction in Delay  Reduction in Excess Demand  Support of Freight Priorities  Support of Transit Service  Support of Bicycle and Pedestrian Mobility  Safety  Growth Management  Economic Development  Existing Deficiency  Cost Effectiveness  State Priority 13

CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PROCESS PERFORMANCE MEASURES  Intensity  Volume-to-Capacity Ratio  Level of Service  Travel Time Index  Duration  Extent  Number of Vehicle Miles Traveled at LOS E or F  Total Delay  Variability  Crash Rate  Planning Time Index  Multimodal  Fixed-Route Transit Coverage  Bicycle/Pedestrian Routes/Facilities  Proportion of CMP Network that Includes Fixed-Route Transit or Bicycle/Pedestrian Routes/Facilities 14

SPATIAL DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM (SDSS)  A GIS-based system of relational databases, computational tools, and information sources used to  Store transportation system attribute and performance data  Perform technical analyses that identify/quantify congestion and assess the effectiveness of congestion reduction/mitigation strategies  Provide themes maps and system performance reports for stakeholders and decision makers 15

CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES  Providing both consistency and flexibility  Finding the right balance of national measures  Managing performance across jurisdictions  Data requirements and management  Linking performance measures to investments  Advancing technologies 17

CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES  Improved communication link between investments and results  Increased consistency  Increased coordination across jurisdictions  Greater understanding of what works  Spur discussions on the value of future performance management  Improved data collection, integration, reporting, and visualization 18

A CASE STUDY IN HIGHWAY CAPACITY DECISION MAKING NCDOT PRIORITIZATION PROCESS. BENEFIT/COST CRITERIA TRAVEL TIME SAVINGS ANALYSIS. OPPORTUNITY FOR KYOVA 19

NCDOT PRIORITIZATION PROCESS  Strategic Transportation Investments Law passed in 2013  Replaces Equity Formula with Strategic Mobility Formula  New data-driven process based on specific criteria  Equity Formula would have funded 175 highway projects  Mobility Formula will fund 478 highway projects 20

BENEFIT/COST CRITERIA  Highway projects compete in three categories – all include Benefit/Cost criteria  Division Needs – 20%  Regional Impact – 25%  Statewide Mobility – 30%  Benefit/Cost is based on travel time savings 21

TRAVEL TIME SAVINGS ANALYSIS  TransModeler 4.0 is the selected microsimulation software to measure travel time savings for every highway project  Currently analyzing 98 projects – to be completed by end of October  Long-term byproduct is statewide microsimulation model 22

OPPORTUNITY FOR KYOVA  Integrate microsimulation with regional travel demand model  How could microsimulation be used to inform KYOVA’s MTP prioritization process?  Potential performance measures  Travel time savings  Congestion reduction  Queue spillback mitigation 23
