Overview
This document is the technical reference for incorporating reliability performance measures into the planning and programming process. It provides a how-to guide for technical staff to select and calculate the appropriate performance measures to support the development of key planning products, including the following:
- Long-range transportation plans;
- Transportation programs [State Transportation Improvement Programs (STIPs) and Transportation Improvement Programs (TIPs)]; • Congestion management process;
- Corridor planning; and
- Operations planning.
This technical reference is designed to accompany the guide written for planning, programming, and operations managers and focuses on the options that need to be considered to integrate reliability into the planning and programming process.
The overall project was to develop the technical procedures for state DOTs and MPOs to fully integrate mobility and reliability performance measures and strategies into the transportation planning and programming processes. The project developed the following additional supporting materials:
- Guide to Incorporating Reliability Performance Measures into the Transportation Planning and Programming Processes
- Incorporating Reliability Performance Measures into the Transportation Planning and Programming Processes Final Report
- Presentation on Incorporating Reliability Performance Measures into the Transportation Planning and Programming Processes
- Case Studies Technical Memorandum
- Reliability Assessment Processor
