National Performance Management Measures: Rescinding Requirements for the First Performance Period

TransportationOther

Summary

The Federal Highway Administration is canceling certain performance measurement requirements that states and transportation agencies had to meet during an initial testing period. This change simplifies how the government tracks whether road and transportation projects are meeting their goals, reducing paperwork burden on state departments of transportation.

Key Points

  • 1Eliminates mandatory performance reporting for the first testing period, giving states more flexibility in how they measure transportation project success
  • 2Affects state transportation departments and local agencies that manage federal highway funding and construction projects
  • 3Reduces administrative work and reporting requirements, allowing agencies to focus resources on actual transportation improvements rather than paperwork
  • 4Does not eliminate performance tracking entirely, but removes the specific first-period requirements that were initially required
  • 5Simplifies compliance for states receiving federal transportation funds by removing early testing deadlines and metrics
