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 />
