Performance Measures and Targets

PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND TARGETS

The Corpus Christi MPO is required to use a performance-based system in the planning and programming process. As a part of this system, the Transportation Policy Committee adopts performance targets for key performance measures developed in collaboration with local, state, and federal partners. These targets are summarized and outlined annually in the System Performance Report.

SYSTEM PERFORMANCE REPORT

SAFETY (PM1) PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND TARGETS
Updated: April 4, 2024

Effective April 14, 2016, the Federal Highway Administration established five highway safety performance measures (23 CFR Part 490, Subpart B) to carry out the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). The HSIP is a federal-aid funding program intended to achieve a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. The five performance measures are listed in Table 1, below.

Safety performance targets are established annually by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) for each performance measure. The Corpus Christi MPO either: 1) establishes its numerical targets for each performance measure, or 2) formally agree to support the TxDOT safety performance measures targets.

The Corpus Christi MPO Transportation Policy Committee adopted Revised Resolution 24-02 to support TxDOT’s statewide FY 2024 Safety Performance Targets (PM1) on March 7, 2024.

PAVEMENT AND BRIDGE CONDITION (PM2) AND
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE, AND FREIGHT (PM3)

The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) and the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act requires the state DOTs to establish performance targets for Pavement and Bridge Condition Measures (PM2) and System Performance and Freight (PM3).

The Corpus Christi MPO Transportation Policy Committee adopted  Resolution 23-04 to support TxDOT's established Pavement and Bridge Condition Measures (PM2) and System Performance and Freight (PM3) targets on April 6, 2023.
