Best Practices for Performance Measurement in Transportation Maintenance and Operations

KYTC’s maintenance activities and operations are guided by several core functions: responding to resident needs, sustaining mobility, and maintaining assets. One way to ensure the performance of maintenance activities and associated functions remains at the highest level is through the transparent application of performance measures. Deploying intuitive and readily interpretable performance measurement benefits all stakeholders, increases accountability, and helps continuously improve operations. Data are often collected on many facets of transportation maintenance and operations, however, identifying strategies for using data to create meaningful performance measures is challenging. This project will examine best practices for performance measurement to determine what types of performance measures are most appropriate for implementation in Kentucky. Any performance measure adopted should adhere to the SMART2 criteria. The use of performance measures to prioritize activities in maintenance and operations will be addressed as well.
