Performance Measures Report for the 2001 RTP

The Performance Measures Report is a new feature of the 2001 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). MTC has pursued the development of this report with three purposes in mind: (1) to define quantifiable performance measures for long range transportation planning; (2) to test the efficacy of the measures by analyzing three alternative long-term transportation investment strategies described in the RTP Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR); and to develop suggestions for improving the use of performance measures in the future.
