December 2012FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION STRATEGIC GOALSDuring 2008, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) released its multi-year Strategic Plan. This plan can be found at www.fhwa.dot.gov/strategicplan.pdf.The Agency adopted the new four-goal framework outlined in the Strategic Plan beginning in Fiscal Year (FY) 2009. The Agency developed and released anannual Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP) in advance of FY 2010 and FY 2011 that reflected the Agency’s priorities in each goal area for the coming year. InMarch 2011, the Agency extended the existing FY 2011 SIP through the first 9 months of FY 2012 as part of the transition to an annual planning cycle from June1, 2011, to May 31, 2012. This change in the planning cycle was made so as to coincide with the newly established Individual Performance Management cycle.The Extended FY 2011-12 SIP, also referred to as the Performance Year (PY) 2012 SIP, was updated in September 2011 to better reflect the Agency’s currentpriorities through May 31, 2012. The PY 2013 SIP covers the planning period from June 1, 2012 to May 31, 2013.The long-term FHWA Strategic Goals are:• National Leadership - FHWA leads in developing and advocating solutions to national transportation needs.• System Performance - The Nation’s highway system provides safe, reliable, effective, and sustainable mobility for all users.• Program Delivery - Federal Highway Programs are effectively and consistently delivered through successful partnerships, value-added stewardship,and risk-based oversight.• Corporate Capacity - Organizational resources are optimally deployed to meet today and tomorrow’s mission.The objective of the plan update is to refresh the strategic planning framework based on current and emerging issues and trends in consideration of the needto refocus the Agency's post-Interstate vision and mission. As noted in the USDOT Strategic Plan section above, the goals in the plan are guiding principles inother transportation plans including this long range plan.Transportation 2035 (2012 Update)State Guide Plan Element 611Rhode Island Statewide Planning ProgramPage 1-20
