Evaluating Potential Performance Measures for Congestion and System Performance

In a joint effort with the Bipartisan Policy Center and the State Smart Transportation Initiative, the Eno Center for Transportation held a daylong meeting on June 20 in Washington, DC, to discuss federal performance measures for highways. Under the recently passed federal transportation bill, Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century, the U.S. Department of Transportation was required to create and implement a number of performance measures to help guide and monitor federal transportation spending. The workshop brought together a number of experienced experts as well as officials directly involved in and affected by the upcoming rulemaking.
