USDOT Performance Data and Performance Measurement - Performance measurement is dependent on the availability of useful data. This section of the Performance Plan/Performance Report provides information on how DOT reports on performance, verifies and validates data, assesses limitations of the data, and plans for improving its data. http://www.dot.gov/performance/ DOT Performance Plan FY2004 - DOT's Performance Plan The DOT Strategic Plan How We re-Organized How We Select Our Performance Goals and Measures How We Will Achieve Our Strategic and Organizational ObjectivesOur 2004 Plan: A Reader’s Guide Revisions to Our 2003 Plan DOT Performance Goals: Safety > Mobility and Economic Growth> Human and Natural Environment > Homeland and National Security http://www.dot.gov/PerfPlan2004/index.html USDOT Performance Goals - Mobility and Economic Growth: DOT's aim is an affordable, reliable and accessible transportation system. To achieve reliability and accessibility, our transportation system frequently relies on a common public infrastructure that is maintained on limited national resources - our land, waterways, and airspace. DOT's objective is to optimize capital investment in these public systems and manage them to maximize the benefit to all Americans. The FY 2003 budget proposes $38.9 billion in mobility funding to meet this challenge. http://www.dot.gov/performance/mobility.html

Performance Measurement Fundamentals Performance measurement: A process of assessing progress toward achieving predetermined goals, including; information on the efficiency with which resources are transformed into goods and services (outputs); the quality of those outputs (how well they are delivered to clients and the extent to which clients are satisfied) and outcomes (the results of a program activity compared to its intended purpose); and the effectiveness of government operations in terms of their specific contributions to program objectives. http://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/perf_measurement/index.htm

	Trends and Issues in Transportation - Transportation Research Board's 1997 Field Visit Program - A mix of cautious optimism and reasoned skepticism describes the general attitude of states regarding the usefulness of performance measures in improving their programs and activities. What is most impressive in these states is that performance measures are being used not so much to identify poor performance as to encourage improved performance in a non-threatening, positive way. http://gulliver.trb.org/publications/trnews/field2.html
