Asset / Investment Categories

Strategic Performance Measures Target

Pavement condition index based on vehicle miles traveled 70 on a scale of 0 - 100 Percent of miles of pavements rated in "very poor" condition < 25 Percent of VMT on Fair or Good Pavement To be Determined

Fewer than:         21 Interstate SD bridges         122 state SD bridges         255 town SD bridges

Number of fatal plus incapacitating crashes per year Reduce by 4% per yearPercent of high-priority safety needs addressed 100% on state systemPark & Ride facility condition Improve Facility Condition Index each year

Signs: Provide readable, relevant, and compliant signs throughout the state Reduce average age if signs to 7.5 years

Aviation Will choose a couple of measures from the Policy Plan

Percent of routes at or below the acceptable level for cost per passenger (Goal 100%)

To be Determined

Percent of routes at or above the acceptable level for passengers per hour (Goal 100%)

To be Determined

Increase ton-miles of freight 3% increase per yearIncrease Vermont origin or destination carloads To be DeterminedAnnual passenger rail ridership 3% increase per yearReported motor vehicle crashes involving bicyclists & pedestrians Hold or reduce number of crashes Mileage of bicycle and pedestrian facilities developed Develop 4 miles per year

Percent of bridges cleaned and washed annually 50% or more Percent of State highway centerlines renewed annually 100%Mow at least two swaths on all major state roads and arteries annually. 100%Patch 100% of post winter potholes on state roads by June 1 100%Complete spring litter clean up on 100% of state roads by the end of May 100%Paint structural steel each calendar year 780 tons of structural steel Time to clear highways after a storm per the Winter Snow & Ice Control Plan To be Determined

Reach 8% or more in three years

Percent Transactions delivered near customer location 75% or moreCompliance rate of commercial vehicle equipment and drivers Reduce % of Out-of-service violations
