Title: Biennial Performance Reporting for the TPM Program.

Jkt 253001

Background: The MAP21 Pub. L.
112141 and FAST Act Pub. L. 114
94 transformed the Federal-aid highway program by establishing new requirements for transportation performance management TPM to ensure the most efficient investment of Federal transportation funds. Prior to MAP21, there were no explicit requirements for State DOTs to demonstrate how their transportation program supported national performance outcomes. State DOTs were not required to measure condition or performance, establish targets, assess progress toward targets, or report on condition or performance in a nationally consistent manner that FHWA could use to assess the entire system. It has been difficult for FHWA to examine the effectiveness of the Federal-aid highway program as a means to address surface transportation performance at a national level without States reporting on the above factors. The new TPM
requirements, as established by MAP21
and FAST Act, change this paradigm and require states to measure condition or performance, establish targets, assess progress towards targets and report on condition or performance.
State DOTs now must submit biennial performance reports 23 U.S.C. 150e and 23 CFR 490.107. The information being requested in the TPM Biennial Reports has been provided to the DOT
in an electronic format through an online data form called the Performance Management Form PMF. State DOTs have successfully submitted the required biennial reports in October 2018 and 2020. Alternative formats will be made available where necessary. As part of the rulemaking 1 implementing the MAP21 and FAST Act requirements, FHWA evaluated all of the Biennial Reporting requirements in the individual regulatory impact assessments RIA and determined the following:
Respondents: 52 State DOTs, including Washington DC and Puerto Rico.
