http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/nchrp/docs/NCHRP08‐74_FR.pdf<br />
The NCHRP 08‐74 report examines sustainable techniques that can be applied as<br />
performance measures for state departments of transportation and other<br />
transportation agencies. The author describes three types of primary components of<br />
sustainability: fundamental, overarching, auxiliary. The report provides a set of 11 goals<br />
for transport agencies to address in order to consider sustainability in practice. These<br />
goals are placed into two categories: 1) "Functional goals (relating to sustainability in<br />
how the transportation system functions – i.e., goals that 'provide' and ‘ensure')"; and<br />
2) "Impact goals (relating to how sustainability is to be considered in terms of the<br />
transportation system’s broader impacts – i.e., goals that 'protect' and 'reduce')", and<br />
includes performance measures related to each of the goals.<br />
Two goals are especially relevant to economic performance: Goal 6. Economic<br />
Prosperity ‐‐"Ensure the transportations system's development and operation support<br />
economic development and prosperity"; the second is Goal 7, Economic viability: To<br />
ensure the economic feasibility of transportation investments over time.<br />
