WICHITA AREA METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION
PM1: Highway Safety
FHWA and FTA jointly issued a Planning Rule that establishes various performance measures to assess roadway safety (PM1), pavement and bridge condition (PM2), system performance and freight movement (PM3), transit asset management (TAM), and transit safety. State DOTs and MPOs are required to set targets for the various federal performance measures. WAMPO has chosen to support and accept KDOT’s 2023 PM1 targets, and 2024 and 2026 PM2 and PM3 targets for the WAMPO region.
Federal Performance Measures | 2022 Targets | 2023 Targets |
|---|---|---|
Number of Non-motorized Fatalities and Serious Injuries | 157 | 160 |
Rate of Serious Injuries (per 100 million VMT) | 3.6 | 3.54 |
Number of Serious Injuries | 1164 | 1100 |
Rate of Fatalities (per 100 million vehicle miles traveled (VMT)) | 1.28 | 1.29 |
Number of Fatalities | 407 | 400 |
FEDERAL PERFORMANCE MEASURE 1, 2, 3 TARGETS
PM2: Pavement & Bridge Condition
Federal Performance Measures | 2021 Targets | 2024 Targets | 2026 Targets |
|---|---|---|---|
Percent of NHS bridges by deck area classified as in poor condition | 3% | 3% | 3% |
Percent of NHS bridges by deck area classified as in good condition | 70% | 72% | 72% |
Percent of non-Interstate NHS pavements in poor condition | 1.5% | 1.7% | 1.7% |
Percent of non-Interstate National Highway System (NHS) pavements in good condition | 55% | 61% | 61% |
Percent of Interstate pavements in poor condition | 0.5% | 0.4% | 0.4% |
Percent of Interstate pavements in good condition | 65% | 60% | 61% |
TAM FEDERAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES
In 2012, MAP-21 mandated FTA to develop a rule establishing a strategic and systematic process of operating, maintaining, and improving public capital assets effectively through their entire life cycle. The Transit Asset Management (TAM) Final Rule, 49 USC 5326, became effective October 1, 2016, and established three performance measures. The performance management requirements outlined in 49 USC 5326 are minimum standards for transit operators.
WAMPO supports KDOT’s 2023 TAM Plan Targets, which are as follows:
TRANSIT SAFETY FEDERAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES
Under the FTA’s Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan (PTASP) rule, applicable transit agencies are required to develop safety plans that define how those agencies will implement Safety Management Systems (SMSs). These plans are required to include targets for performance measures defined in the National Public Transportation Safety Plan, which relate to fatalities, injuries, safety events, and system reliability. MPOs are federally required to set performance targets for these transit safety performance measures for their regions, in coordination with transit agencies and state governments. These requirements acknowledge the collaborative relationships needed to manage safety risks in transit systems.
