FHWA Transportation Performance Management Peer to Peer Program (TPM-P2P) – Peer Exchange at North Carolina DOT Maryland state highway administration (sha) experience and perspective June 2013 Felicia Haywood, Deputy Director of Planning and Engineering Chris Diaczok, Policy Analyst MD State Highway Administration

2. Presentation Outline • About Maryland and State Highway Admin. • Performance based processes at SHA • Data driven decision-making at SHA • Restructuring Planning Processes • Decision Support Tools and Applications • MAP-21 Ready

3. About Maryland US in microcosm with diverse geography – Appalachian ranges, Chesapeake Bay watershed and 3190miles of coastline Ranked 19th in Population, 5th in Density(5.8 million people, 2010) Baltimore-Washington region one of most congested in US

4. About MD Department of Transportation (MDOT) MDOT has direct supervision over all aspects of transportation in the State of Maryland. $3.6 billion annual budget funded through a common state Transportation Trust Fund.  Funds two major urban transit systems, MTA in the Baltimore region and the WMATA in the Washington region. MTA served 415,000 riders/ weekday in 2011. Port of Baltimore is the fastest growing port in the US . One of the few deep water east coast ports to handle Large vessels (expected after Panama Canal Expansion) BWI Airport served more than 22.4 million passengers in 2011. Ranked6thin the nation for customer service and convenience by Travel & Leisure Magazine.

5. About MD State Highway Administration One of the six modals of the MDOT SHA system is the backbone of MD’s transportation system that provides mobility and access for people and goods. SHA operates, maintains and rebuilds the numbered, non-toll routes. SHA roads carry 65% of the state’s traffic and 85% of its truck freight. FY 11 Funding: $1.15 Billion

6. New State Funding • Federal Motor Fuel Tax – • Since 1993: $0.184 per gallon of gasoline • State Motor Fuel Tax – • 1993-2013: $0.235 per gallon of gasoline • 2013: • Indexes $0.235/gallon to CPI • 1% sales tax on gasoline • 2015 = sales tax raised to 2% • 2016 = sales tax raised to 3% • 2017 = sales tax raised to 4% • Could go up to 5% if internet sales tax does not pass

7. Current SHA Challenges and Opportunities • One of the most congested regions in the US • Financial and Environmental Constraints • Focus on System Preservation and Efficiency with sustainable practices • Need to maintain economic competitiveness in the region and citizens’ quality of life • Support Administration’s “Smart Green and Growing” efforts thru’ Plan Maryland and MD Transportation Plan • Build robustness in the system to handle shocks and uncertainty - natural, social, economic etc.

8. Performance Based Processes at SHA • Key Drivers for Performance based Approach • Evolution of Performance Measurement at SHA • Performance Management at SHA • SHA Business Plan (FY 2012-15 )

9. Key Drivers for Performance-Based Approach SHA Mission Statement Provide a safe, well-maintained, reliable highway system that enables mobility choices for all customers and supports Maryland’s communities, economy and environment. SHA Vision Provide a world-class highway system. Support MDOT and the Administration’s broader initiatives, policies and goals.

10. 2000 Evolution of Performance Measurement at SHA • Managing for Results (MFR) Executive Order • First SHA business plan – goals and strategies 1996 • Year 2000 SHA Business Plan • Creation of 8 Key Performance Area Councils • Business Planning as Part of Performance Excellence (PE) • Focus on creating an outcome-centric business plan • Developed by senior leaders with staff support • Link to local office/district implementation plans • Performance audits by OLA 2002 • Managing for Results (MFR) Becomes State Law • New business plan every 4 years 2004 • StateStat • Incorporates output-based accountability into MFR 2006

11. Performance Management at SHA Performance-based approach to management based on Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence Statutory Regulatory Requirements • Managing for Results (MFR)/StateStat • MDOT Attainment Report • Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) Ensures agency accountability with reliable data driven processes Target Setting and Outcome oriented approach

12. SHA Business Plan (FY 2012-15 ) KEY PERFORMANCE AREAS (KPA) Highway Safety Mobility/Economy System Preservation and Maintenance Managing our Agency Environmental Compliance and Stewardship Customer Communications, Service and Satisfaction Focus on OUTCOMES Objectives and Strategies are • Specific • Measurable • Achievable/Attainable • Results oriented • Time-bound Agency wide and office/ district level plans are aligned

13. Data Driven Decision-makingat SHA • SHA Decision-making Framework • Key Performance Based Planning Areas • Safety • Mobility/ Economy • System Preservation/ Asset Management
