Notes<br />
The study team found little documentation on the use of performance measures to influence decision-making. In some areas,<br />
<strong>CDOT</strong> staff explained how performance data is used to evaluate potential projects (for example, which safety<br />
countermeasures have the most promise, and which pavements and bridges to work on). However, discussions frequently<br />
focused on the mechanics of performance reporting (data collection, processing, and report development) rather than on their<br />
use.<br />
Evaluate system High <strong>CDOT</strong> has an organizational unit responsible for managing its performance management efforts.<br />
Reporting<br />
Required IT infrastructure High <strong>CDOT</strong> has made significant progress on the underlying IT infrastructure required for performance reporting. Ongoing efforts<br />
regarding a performance dashboard and PBF implementation will further enhance these capabilities.<br />
Organizational responsibility High <strong>CDOT</strong> has an organization structure that clearly defines a performance management champion, responsible for establishing,<br />
compiling, and reporting performance measures.<br />
Reporting format and content Med <strong>CDOT</strong> maintains a variety of performance measure reports. Each report has its specific purpose (e.g., fulfill a reporting<br />
mandate, highlight internal measures, communicate funding gaps, etc.), and therefore contains a custom set of measures.<br />
Similar to the discussion above regarding the use of multiple measures, the use of multiple reports can make it difficult for<br />
internal and external audiences to clearly understand agency priorities, what success looks like, and how <strong>CDOT</strong> is<br />
progressing towards success.<br />
<strong>CDOT</strong> provides on-line access to many of its performance reports in PDF format. The reports are not located in a central<br />
location, and users must sift through the reports if they are interested in a specific performance area.<br />
