PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND TARGETS
SAFETY (PM1)
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 a resolution to support TxDOT’s statewide FY 2022 Safety Performance Targets (PM1) on January 6, 2022.

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 a resolution to support TxDOT's statewide Pavement and Bridge Condition Measures (PM2) and System Performance and Freight (PM3) targets on November 1, 2018.
