Abstract: The MAP-21 (Pub. L. 112-141) and FAST Act (Pub. L. 114-94) transformed the Federal-aid highway program by establishing new requirements for transportation performance management (TPM) to ensure the most efficient investment of Federal transportation funds. Prior to MAP-21, there were no explicit requirements for State DOTs to demonstrate how their transportation program supported national performance outcomes. State DOTs were not required to measure condition or performance, establish targets, assess progress toward targets, or report on condition or performance in a nationally consistent manner that FHWA could use to assess the entire system. Without States reporting on the above factors, it was difficult for FHWA to examine the effectiveness of the Federal-aid highway program as a means to address surface transportation performance at a national level. The TPM regulations changed this paradigm and require states to measure condition or performance, establish targets, assess progress towards targets, and report on condition or performance biennially (23 USC 150 (e) and 23 CFR 490.107). The required biennial reports contain information such as: transportation condition and performance targets, a discussion of the basis for those targets, progress toward targets, a historic baseline, discussion of coordination efforts, reports on freight bottlenecks, other information applicable or relevant to specific State or region. These biennial reports allow the assessment of progress in a consistent manner nationally and allow FHWA to assess if State DOT’s have achieved significant progress toward meeting their targets, as required by 23 CFR 490.109. The requested revision to the data collection is to account for the addition of the GHG measure to 23 CFR 490 subpart A and subpart E.
