Background:
The MAP-21 (Pub. L. 112-141) 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 MAP-21, 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. Prior to the requirement to report these factors, it was difficult for FHWA to examine the effectiveness of the Federal-aid highway program as a means to address surface transportation performance. The TPM requirements, as established by MAP-21 and FAST Act, require States to measure condition or performance, establish targets, assess progress towards targets and report on condition and performance.
State DOTs must submit biennial performance reports (23 U.S.C. 150(e) and 23 CFR 490.107). The information is provided to the DOT in an electronic format through an online data form called the Performance Management Form (PMF). Alternative formats are made available where necessary. As part of the rulemakings
implementing the MAP-21 and FAST Act requirements, FHWA evaluated all of the Biennial Reporting requirements in the individual regulatory impact assessments (RIA) and determined the following:
