TABLE 1(continued) WSDOT Outcomes, Performance Measures, and BenchmarksOutcomeNo.OutcomePerformanceMeasureBlue RibbonBenchmarksService Objective5 Enhanced Mobility: IncreasedTravel OptionsThroughout the state,travelers have viable alternativesto the privatelyowned automobilefor their tripsBiennial cross-modalsurvey of user opinionsof viable transportationoptions8. Maintain vehiclemiles traveled (VMT)per capita at 2000levels9. Increase nonautoshare of work tripsin urban centers orreverse the downwardtrend of nonautoshare of worktrips in urban centers9. Improve existing travel options;‘‘travel options’’ is definedas new options and abetter quality of existing optionsbased on marketdemand6* Enhanced Mobility:Seamless ConnectionsThe transportation systemoffers easy connectionsbetween different servicesthroughout thestateCross-modal survey ofuser opinions onease of connectionsbetween services10. Create links and removebarriers between transportationfacilities and services7* Improve Safety: ContinuouslyReduce Injury,Fatalities, and RiskAttain a safe transportationsystem withoutdeaths or disabling injuriesand with continuousreductions in societalcost of accidentsTBDTBD1. Traffic safetybenchmark: trafficaccidents will continueto decline11. Reduce and prevent deathsand the frequency and severityof disabling injuriesand societal costs of accidents(focus on the rate offrequency and severity)8 Improve Safety:Increased SecurityCustomers are safe andsecure while using thetransportation systemCross-modal survey ofuser opinions ofsafety and security12. Improve transportation facilitieswith state-of-the-artsafety and security features13. Improve security of alltransportation facilities9 Livable Communities:Effective Community-Based DesignIntegrated community design,land use, andtransportation investmentsimprove qualityof lifeReport on the level ofintegration amongland use, design, andtransportationinvestments14. (a) Reduce impact on communitiesand their resourceswith the development andimplementation of transportationprojects(b) Increase integration ofstate and local interests inthe development and implementationof transportationservices and facilities(c) Balance state and localneeds in the developmentand implementation ofmultimodal transportationprojects(continued on next page)
