The purpose of this Primer is to orient transportation practitioners in State Departments of Transportation (DOT), Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO), and other transportation agencies to the principles and practices of Operations Performance Measures and Management (OPMM). OPMM aims to support continuous improvement in the practice of Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSMO), a set of strategies that focus on operational strategies that improve the transportation system. OPMM includes traditional operations performance measurement practices while incorporating the Transportation Performance Management (TPM) principles for TSMO programs. OPMM is a strategic and data-driven approach to making investment and policy decisions to achieve operations goals. OPMM provides a basis for making sound TSMO investment decisions by state DOTs and MPOs.

The report, created by the Transportation Asset Management Expert Task Group (TAM ETG), addresses the concerns of agencies facing a rise in the proportion of their pavement and bridge networks deteriorating to Fair condition. The TAM ETG members identified the factors contributing to this situation and initiated discussions emphasizing the importance of managing this increasing percentage of their networks based on TAM principles. The findings from these discussions form the basis of this document, which aims to: provide State and local transportation agencies with an understanding of why prioritizing investments in assets in Fair condition is more effective than heavily investing in those in Poor condition, and encourage the adoption of more proactive lifecycle planning in investment decisions.

NMDOT seeks to develop a Resilience Improvement Plan to meet the requirements and cost share incentive of the PROTECT Formula Program. In alignment with the PROTECT program guidance and in support of the New Mexico Governor’s climate action initiative, NMDOT will build on the Resiliency 1.0 Study to integrate new data sources into the GIS-based analysis framework, apply likelihood and probability analysis, integrate guidance from FHWA Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Framework, and identify key priorities for each NMDOT district.
