TRANSCRIPT
PERFORMANCE BASED PRACTICAL DESIGN
PBPD is a decision making approach
that helps agencies better manage transportation investments
and serve system-level needs and performance priorities
with limited resources.
WHAT IS PBPD?
THE CHALLENGE FACED BY DOTS
Ever-expanding surface transportation system
Need to provide increased mobility and safety
Need to address all users
Decreasing Finances & Resources
New Policy, Regulation, or Requirement Opportunity to disregard long-term needs: For short term cost savings Overlooking future development
Compromising on safety, user needs (bike, ped, etc.), or accommodation of freight to save money
PBPD IS NOT:
PBPD focuses on performance improvements that benefit both project and system needs.
Agencies make sound decisions based upon
performance analysis. By scrutinizing each element of a project’s
scope relative to value, need, and urgency, a PBPD approach seeks a greater return on infrastructure investments.
