Organizational Performance Index (OPI) The OPI tracks the overall performance of the Department in nine key areas. Each District’s performance is compared to one another and to the overall State average.
District Maintenance OPI • Maintenance categories are based solely on the 8 MQS categories. • Each category is divided into Priority Routes and General Routes. • There are 16 Maintenance categories per District which equates to 192 categories Statewide. • Deficiencies per lane mile are associated to ranges which correspond to an OPI score for each Route Type.
District Maintenance OPI Score The District Maintenance OPI Score is calculated by multiplying the Score by the Weight for the 16 Maintenance categories and then summing. 258 is a perfect score.
District Maintenance Index Value The District Maintenance Index Value is calculated by dividing the District Maintenance OPI Score by 258.
