Title:
Washington State Department of Transportation's Maintenance Accountability Process: An Ongoing Experiment in Performance Measurement
Abstract:
The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has utilized its current system of highway maintenance performance measures since 1996. This system is called the Maintenance Accountability Process (MAP) and has generally been successful since its inception. The MAP has provided WSDOT maintenance the tools to clearly communicate to legislators and policymakers the outcomes of investments in the maintenance program. This paper describes the performance measure lessons we have learned while using the MAP and some associated improvements in performance measure processes; some implemented and other being considered for future implementation.
