5.2. Methodology 5.2.1. Goal Alignment & Public Input MTP performance measures are categorized and tied to the established MTP goals. Goals translate the City’s long- term vision into strategic targets that guide decision-making and resource allocation across the transportation network. Performance measures quantify progress made towards achieving the goals, and each goal contains multiple performance measures. Key considerations in establishing performance measures for MTP include: ■ Aligning goals and performance measures ■ Creating consistency with other relevant planning efforts and coordinating with the NCTCOG, TxDOT, U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), and other related agencies ■ Incorporating public input ■ Leveraging the experience of peer agencies to cover a wide range of anticipated transportation trends ■ Managing with available and easily accessible data
Performance Measures As described in Chapter 1 , public input played a vital role in shaping these goals, establishing measures that reflect the values and needs of residents. During the public engagement process, the City gathered over 1,000 responses and categorized them into four themes, which provided valuable guidance for the development of the following performance measures:
Road & Street Improvements The need to reduce traffic congestion and improve road quality (pavement and markings).
Public Transportation The importance of expanding rail service and improving the comfort and availability of public transit options.
Active Transportation The importance of walking and biking infrastructure and pedestrian safety.
Quality of Life Other infrastructure needs to improve living standards such as better access to local services and short commutes.
