Defining and Assessing Transportation System Health to Achieve a Resilient and Sustainable Transportation System

NCHRP Research Report 1042: State Transportation Agency Decision-Making for System Performance: Practitioners Playbook developed an analytic framework for transportation agencies to use for the integration of critical issues into decision-making related to system performance using interactive visualization. The framework helps states to understand the critical linkages, values, and relationships among multiple variables (needs) and provides a method about how to adjust those relationships. This research will build on the framework to define a performance-based process to assist agencies in defining “Transportation System Health.” Within a given jurisdiction, unique values, needs, context, and characteristics could be considered. The intent of this effort is to help state departments of transportation (DOTs) understand individual strategic goals, objectives, and performance measures and to use this information to set priorities for programs and projects. The objective of this research is to develop a method for defining and determining Transportation System Health, in terms relevant for each state DOT’s values, needs context, and characteristics useable for ranking and prioritizing programs, projects, and budget.
