PD-14 Performance Targets

Policy Directive 14: “Policy Guiding Statewide Plan Goals and Objectives”

This Policy Directive provides performance targets to measure the success of the Department’s efforts to improve in the following key areas:
 Safety,
 Asset Management, and
 Mobility.
The performance targets in these goal areas will help implement the Statewide Transportation Plan by focusing transportation investments in the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and the annual budget. Targets for highway related assets are intended to be achieved (or maintained) in the planning horizon of 2021-30.

The list below displays the PD-14 metrics and targets compared to current performance for each asset:
