Importance of Mobility
PEOPLE
FREIGHT
“Providing mobility for people and goods
is transportation’s most essential function.”
Mobility performance measures

Dimensions of Mobility
To adequately address mobility,
all four dimensions
should be emphasized
and multiple
performance measures used.

Florida DOT’s Perspective
“FDOT is committed to being
leaders and innovators in this
vitally important area of
transportation management”
“We track progress toward
meeting our own goals”

FDOT Central Office Roles:
Central
Office
Coordinate statewide efforts on MPM Program
Produce and report on statewide MAP-21 measures
District
Office
Produce annual TranStat Source Book
Provide additional MPMs
Lead development of targets and support MPOs
MPO
Develop and provide training in 2015
24
FDOT District Offices Roles:
Central
Office
Provide input to Central Office on MPM program
Implement FDOT projects/programs to implement Federal and
State goals/objectives and document activities
District
Office
Develop own MPMs within districts, if appropriate
Coordinate with MPOs and Regional MPOs
MPO
• Provide MAP-21 mobility performance measure analyses developed by the
Central Office
• Provide technical support
• Provide advice on setting goals and objectives
25
MPOs Roles:
Central
Office
• Comply with MAP-21
District
Office
MPO
–
–
–
–
Use calculated results provided by FDOT, if desired
Report to FHWA as required
Develop performance targets
Include in LRTPs and Congestion Management Plans to
evaluate alternatives, programming/prioritization of projects
• Develop own MPMs, if appropriate
• Coordination with other MPOs, if appropriate
26
FDOT TranStat’s Intent
FDOT will provide
an analysis of
all required
MAP-21 mobility
performance measures
Comparable measurements
for road networks
•For the state as a whole
• MAP-21 networks
not by Districts
•Each MPO
has the option to
use or not
• State Highway System
Areawide groupings
• Urbanized boundaries
• Planning boundaries
• County boundaries
• Regional boundaries
27
A Few Key Definitions
• Congestion
– Mild, heavy, severe
• Delay
– Threshold, total
• Travel Time Reliability
– On-time performance,
travel time variability
28
Noteworthy Non-MAP-21 Topics
• Pedestrian and bicycle measures
– Inventory of facilities (accessibility)
– Level of service (quality)
– Counts (quantity)
• Freight multimodal
– Aviation, rail, seaports
• Geographic limits
– Urbanized, planning, county, aggregated
• Roadway systems
– National, state, modeled network

35
Target Setting Meetings (Workshops)
Purposes
• Context
• Approach
• Method to select targets
General
Locations: Fort Lauderdale, Ocala
Timing: May, 2015
Representation
11 MPOs
3 Districts
Central Office
36
Meeting Objectives
• Develop a common frame of reference for
discussion mobility targets in Florida
• Improve understanding of Federal process and
progress on system performance NPRM
• Identify desired approach for engaging
stakeholders in target-setting process
• Identify needs for data, analytical methods
• Identify preferred methods for specifying and
selecting targets
• Build support for statewide implementation
37
Common Target Setting Methods
Policy
• Based on policy
objectives
• What can be
achieved based
on plans and
funding
Feedback
Analysis
• Consensus-based
process, driven
by baseline data
and trend
projection
• User/customer
surveys, informal
customer
feedback
• Peer-agency
benchmarks
• Scenario analysis,
financiallyconstrained
testing
• Demand
forecasting, land
use modeling,
economic
analysis
38
Options for Specifying Targets
Absolute value target:
• Maintain Travel Time
Index of 1.4 or less
• Maintain delay at or
below X hours
• 95% of VMT at or above
target speed or LOS
Change relative to
baseline conditions:
• Achieve 10% reduction in
VMT under congestion
• Achieve 10% increase in
non-auto mode share
Value
Baseline
39
Specifying Targets
Consider the
consequences of
failure to meet target

We set both
types of targets
FHWA June 2014

Geographic Context
Link target values to geographic context
Multimodal vs. vehicle-dominated corridors
Entire jurisdictions vs. partitions
More dense vs. less dense areas
Urban vs. non-urban
All, or just some of the targets in an area
41
Duration or Time Horizon of Targets
Short, intermediate, long-term all
appropriate, depending on application
1 YEAR
5 YEAR
20 YEAR
Planning
targets can
be very
long term
Operational
measures
trend to
short term
Short term priorities
may conflict with
long-term goals
42
Economic Activity
Link the target value to correlated
measures of economic activity
– Gross regional product, employment, etc.
– Recognizes that growth in economic activity
likely to generate more VMT, Ton-Miles of
freight
– Provides a “relief valve” in overheated
economy
– Also may inspire “making up lost ground”
during slowdown
Policy implications are many…
