Implementing Performance-Based Planning & Programming

Implementing Performance-Based Planning and Programming' is a one-hour self-directed training course offered by NHI, the authoritative source in transportation training. The passage of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) and the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act ushered in a range of new provisions for the Federal-aid highway program related to transportation performance management and highway infrastructure. With associated rule makings at completion or going through final administration review, State Departments of Transportation (DOTs), metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), FHWA Division Offices, and other stakeholders are looking for and need information to learn about new requirements, as well as noteworthy practices. This web-based course provides an effective, time efficient, and accessible format for practitioners in State DOTs, MPOs, FHWA, and other groups to learn more about the lesson topics noted below. This format provides a richer context for information than static materials, through the use of knowledge checks and other interactive features.

The goal of this web-based course is to provide learners with an introductory overview of the key elements and requirements of transportation performance management (TPM) and the performance-based planning and programming (PBPP) framework. The course will give participants the information and resources necessary to begin understanding PBPP to implement it effectively.
