Performance Measures
NCTCOG actively monitors the performance of the region’s transportation system. Many of these observations are adopted as formal performance measures that are used to tell the story of how the region’s transportation system is performing relative to the agency’s goals and objectives. Performance measurement is an area of rapid development for the Transportation department as it strives to improve its performance-based planning process.
