Overview
This Guide is intended to be a high-level reference document for transportation planners, operators, and system managers. The reliability of the transportation system refers to the uncertainty or variability that system users experience in the time it takes to travel from one place to another—from home to work, from producer to consumer, and from any location to another. This guide will help planning, programming, and operations managers to apply the concept of travel time reliability to balance investment in programs and projects.
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:
- Incorporating Reliability Performance Measures into the Transportation Planning and Programming Processes: Technical Reference
- 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
