West Virginia DOT's
Approach to
Performance Management
MAP-21 Performance Measures
Areas and Goals
Performance Management
Criteria of Effective Measures
• Value for Money: Directly related to highway
investment and policy
• Simple: Understood by the public
• Meaningful: Reflects most important aspects of
performance
• Actionable: Outcome-oriented
• Realistic: Not unduly burdensome to collect
• Time-based: Change within acceptable timeframe

Performance Measure Selection
Setting Reasonable Goals
• Tradeoff between capturing all aspects of
performance and cost and complexity
• Understand audience/purpose
– Fewer measures at strategic level
– More at operational level
– Different needs for internal
and external audiences
• Avoid overlap
• Evolve over time
Performance Measures Framework

Performance Management at WVDOT
Planning Approach
• Review existing conditions
• Set a manageable number of performance
measures
• Create a pilot dashboard with an
implementation plan
• Design pilot budget approaches to address
funding limitations
• Review process and revise as necessary

Performance Management at WVDOT
Execution Approach
• Start with a few measures where the agency
has good supporting data
• Utilize stewardship agreements with MPOs
and the USDOT
• Hire consultants to assist with
defining measures and building
tools to calculate and display
performance results
Dashboard Pilot
Performance Measure Geospatial Dashboard
Pilot Overview
• Initiated in May 2012 and completed in December 2012
• Addressed Requirements for 6 Different Goal Areas including:
–
–
–
–
–
–
Pavement Preservation
Bridge Preservation
Safety
Congestion/Operations
Environment
Freight/Economic Development
• Developed pilot focused on Pavement Preservation, Bridge
Preservation, and Safety
– Defined Measures
– Developed Pilot Dashboard Application with 2 Levels of Access
• Executive
• Business Units
Executive Interface
Using Virginia DOT as an Example
Business Unit Interface
Pavement Theme – NHS Routes in District 1
Business Unit Interface
Bridge Theme – Structural Adequacy
Business Unit Interface
Structural Adequacy in Berkley County
Next Steps
Full Implementation
4 Interfaces
• WVDOT Facts – based on WVDOT’s statistical and demographic fact
book that is developed every other year
• Performance Driven Results – builds on executive interface of pilot
by improving the interface, adding themes and additional
functionality - gauges, dials, business intelligence for performance
measure results
• Process Driven Results – will include measures from WVDOT’s
stewardship program
• Business Details Portal – builds on business interface of pilot
providing numerous thematic maps, associated business intelligence
widgets and filtering capabilities.

Challenges
• Accurate, consistent data necessary to
calculate performance measures – especially
for congestion/operations, environment, and
freight/economic development
• Resources to develop and maintain the
dashboard
• MAP-21 is still being defined
