The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) and the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, adopted in 2012 and 2015 respectively, call for integrating performance-based planning into practices of state departments of transportation and metropolitan planning organizations. This paper presents a simplified methodology for incorporating the FAST Act metropolitan planning factors into strategic metropolitan planning. The methodology enhances transportation agency’s existing objectives with performance measures based on notable peer practices and identifies a practical set of sustainable performance measures to enhance short and long range planning with performance measures that track progress toward multimodality and sustainability. The sustainable performance-based methodology described in this paper lays out the steps that can be taken by any transportation agency interested in improving its strategic planning using performance measures. A case study was developed for a corridor within the El Paso Metropolitan Planning Organization area.

This paper was sponsored by TRB committee ADA30 Standing Committee on Transportation Planning for Small and Medium-Sized Communities.
