The Virginia DOT is utilizing the abilities of dashboards and scorecards in a<br />
very effective manner for transmitting information to department staff and<br />
managers, policy-makers, and the public. It is an outstanding example of<br />
how these methods may be applied to business areas at other DOTs.<br />
Washington State Transportation Improvement Board (TIB)<br />
The Washington State Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) uses a realtime<br />
dashboard to monitor active grant projects that are awarded to local<br />
agencies to fund road repairs and new construction. The dashboard was<br />
developed as an internal oversight tool during a period of fiscal crisis, and it<br />
has consistently improved business processes and grant project performance<br />
since its implementation in 2003. The length of time for a local government<br />
to receive payment dropped from five months in 2001 to just seventeen days.<br />
Delayed projects dropped seventy percent, saving millions in public funds<br />
due to construction cost inflation. Grant projects from the TIB’s safety<br />
program averaged nineteen percent fewer accidents and thirty percent less<br />
injuries two years after construction.<br />
The dashboard link is easily found on the TIB Home Page. Selecting it brings<br />
up a web page that has information about the dashboard as well as related<br />
links, awards, and what others are saying about the TIB dashboard. The user<br />
must scroll the page in order to access the actual dashboard.<br />
