FHWA to Host National Online Dialogue on Improving Transportation Performance

From May 21 to June 22, 2012, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) will host the National Online Dialogue on Improving Transportation Performance.

The dialogue offers Federal, State, tribal, and local transportation professionals and other stakeholders the opportunity to share accomplishments and lessons learned from using performance management principles to improve the Nation’s highways and connecting road networks.

Through the dialogue, participants can comment on numerous themes:

• Identify how FHWA can help you more effectively manage performance of the transportation system.
• Illustrate how using performance measures has improved the lives of people in your community.
• Describe the types of performance reports and data you want FHWA to produce.
• Describe the types of transportation performance management analytical tools and data you need FHWA to provide to support your goals.
• Discuss how you think FHWA can improve relationships and communications with national, State, local, tribal, and community stakeholders.
• Discuss the barriers you have encountered in your work to improve the condition and performance of roads and highways.
• Share your recommendations for improving FHWA’s use of performance measures.

Stories and strategies captured during the dialogue will inform FHWA's work as it develops an approach to engage communities in the use of performance management principles.
