<strong>CDOT</strong> <strong>Performance</strong> <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Business</strong> <strong>Plan</strong><br />

The figure above could be expanded to also include the public budget categories:<br />

maintain, maximize, expand, deliver, pass-through/multimodal and<br />

Transportation Commission contingency/debt.<br />

The recommended measures could be mapped to these categories as follows:<br />

Maintain – bridge condition; pavement condition; roadside condition; snow and<br />

ice control; roadway congestion<br />

Maximize – roadway congestion<br />

Expand – roadway congestion; on time construction; on budget construction; and<br />

strategic action item implementation.<br />

Deliver – on time construction; on budget construction; and strategic action item<br />

implementation.<br />

Pass-through/multimodal – none<br />

Transportation Commission contingency/debt - on time construction; on budget<br />

construction<br />

3.9 POTENTIAL ENHANCEMENTS<br />

This section presents opportunities for improving <strong>CDOT</strong> practices categorized in<br />

Table 3.1 as low or medium relative to best practices.<br />

Initiatives<br />

1. Clearly define the terms “strategic initiatives” and “strategies”. Develop or<br />

select a reporting mechanism for communicating <strong>CDOT</strong>’s strategic initiatives<br />

and tracking their implementation. The initiatives should support the vision,<br />

mission, goals and objectives, and represent specific policies or procedures<br />

required to achieve them. The Strategic <strong>Plan</strong> currently contains strategies,<br />

but it is recommended that <strong>CDOT</strong> update them in order to ensure that they<br />

are concrete, actionable, and can be tracked.<br />

Measures<br />

2. Continue to explore options for measuring progress in the multimodal and<br />

quality of life aspects of the vision and mission. Of these two, the<br />

multimodal area lends itself better to quantitative measures. Developing<br />

these measures would require clarification of the role of <strong>CDOT</strong> within each<br />

mode, and on which aspects of multimodalism to track. Example measures<br />

include access to other modes (e.g., percent of population within a ½ mile of<br />

a bike/ped facility or transit service), coverage (e.g., pairs of employment<br />

centers connected by a bike/ped facility or transit service), operational<br />

performance (e.g., transit delay), and improvements to modal connectors<br />

(e.g., access to airports or freight rail facilities).<br />
