Task Force on Emerging Performance Areas

Task Force on Emerging Performance Areas


The Task Force on Emerging Performance Areas is governed by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Committee on Performance-Based Management (CPBM). The focus of this task force is to provide State DOTs with additional information and tools that support a robust performance management program by identifying emerging performance areas, making recommendations for future research, and creating a platform for knowledge exchange.

Purpose

The CPBM Task Force on Emerging Performance Areas is an independent, volunteer panel of national experts in performance management and its related fields. The task force works to improve how State DOTs conduct performance management by identifying emerging performing areas, making recommendations for future research, and creating a platform for knowledge exchange. The task force works to shepherd the further development of performance measures that support bigger picture goals and the integration of new or emerging performance measures into agency decision-making.

Emerging performance areas are cross-cutting, and the task force expects to work across CPBM subcommittees and other AASHTO committees as appropriate. Particular performance areas of interest include multimodal accessibility/destination access, equity, resilience, greenhouse gas and other measures of climate change impacts, and health.

Goals

  1. Serve as the forum to advance ideas and examples of how state transportation agencies are implementing new and emerging performance measures.
  2. Work with the CBPM Professional Development and Technical Services Coordinating Subcommittee to develop and communicate guidance, training, and educational resources to assist with implementing and integrating new measures within a state transportation agency.
  3. Develop research proposals and problem statements for the development, implementation, and integration of new areas and measures in performance management and decision-making within a state transportation agency.
  4. Work collaboratively with the AASHTO and TRB communities and FHWA, USDOT, and other federal agencies to advance the practice of integrating new measures in performance management and decision making.
