Operations Performance Measures and Management (OPMM) Program Road Map

CONTENTS OF OPMM PROGRAM ROAD MAP PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS

The Road Map includes 18 projects. The projects are grouped around four subject areas that are critical to OPMM Program goals:

  • MAP-21 Implementation (6 projects),
  • Performance Measures (Congestion, Reliability) (6 projects),
  • Performance Management (5 projects), and
  • Operations Performance Measures Coordination (1 project).

The projects are sub-categorized by three project types:

  • Technical Assistance (Guidance/Training),
  • Outreach/Coordination, and
  • Research/Implementation.

Figure 2 shows the OPMM Program Road Map, including the 18 projects grouped by the four subject areas above and referenced to the above sub-category project types. The year/quarters when each project is anticipated to take place is also included in the Figure.

The project descriptions that follow include:

  • Project number/title,
  • Subject area,
  • Project type(s),
  • Time period,
  • Project objective,
  • Deliverable,
  • Project lead,
  • Project description,
  • Possible coordination opportunities (if applicable – other FHWA Offices, other agencies, etc.), and
  • OPMM Road Map coordination (if applicable – an indication of other OPMM Road MAP projects that should be coordinated with the subject project); these project linkages are also shown by connecting lines between projects in Figure 2.
