This factsheet summarizes the final rule for the measurement of non-single occupancy vehicle travel in specific urbanized areas. Initially, the rule applies to urbanized areas of more than 1 million people that are also in nonattainment or maintenance areas for ozone, carbon monoxide or particulate matter. In the second performance period (which begins on January 1, 2022), the population threshold changes to areas of more than 200,000. All States and MPOs with NHS mileage that overlaps within an applicable urbanized area must coordinate on a single, unified target and report on the measures for that area.

This factsheet summarizes the final rule for the measurement of travel time reliability on the Interstate and nonInterstate National Highway System (NHS). State DOTs, as well as MPOs with Interstate and/or non-Interstate NHS within their metropolitan planning area will establish targets and report progress on these measures.

This factsheet summarizes the final rule for the measurement of travel time reliability on the Interstate System (Truck Travel Time Reliability (TTTR) Index). State DOTs and MPOs will establish targets and report progress on this measure.

This Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) presentation addresses the new federal pavement and bridge condition performance management rule 23CFR 490. This rule addresses requirements established by the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) and reflects passage of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act.

The presentation was delivered as part of a webinar on May 31, 2017. The webinar agenda includes the following items:
• Measures for Assessing Pavement Condition
• Measures for Assessing Bridge Condition
• Target Establishment and Reporting

This Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document addresses the federal pavement and bridge condition performance management rule 23CFR 490. This rule responds to the requirements established by the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) and reflects passage of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act.

The FAQ document includes sections addressing general questions, bridge-specific questions, and pavement-specific questions.

TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Web-Only Document 226: Data Visualization Methods for Transportation Agencies provides techniques for planners who have various levels of experience with displaying and reporting information in a visual format. A web-based resource is also available. The publication includes practices for developing visualization skills, enhancing transportation analysis, and improving public engagement.

The objective of TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Project 08-36(Task 128) was to evaluate Design Visualization Methods and their applicability to transportation planning and analysis. The report, Web-Only Document 226: Data Visualization Methods for Transportation Agencies, provides techniques for planners who have various levels of experience with displaying and reporting information in a visual format. It includes practices for developing visualization skills, enhancing transportation analysis, and improving public engagement.
