GRPC’s Transportation Asset and Performance Management Program
GRPC’s Transportation Asset and Performance Management Program defines a “way of doing business” and provides structure to the decision-making processes. This is a way of improving GRPC’s existing procedures for allocating resources to achieve desired outcomes. Goals, objectives, strategies, and a set of performance measures aligned with the 23 USC 134(h) MPO planning factors to guide planning and project development. The establishment of the focus areas and investment strategy for the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and other MPO decision-making is based on this program.

Performance Management
GRPC uses in-house performance measures in addition to federal performance measures. Programmed projects are linked directly to the performance measures. Completed projects from the STIP and TIP will be assessed, and reports generated to show how we have provided progress toward our goals.
