Efficiency key performance Indicators
Service 4: Integrated transport planning
This service contributes to the Government’s framework for strategic management
goal of ‘State building – Major projects’ by providing leadership for strategic transport
issues and by shaping the pattern of transport system development through:
• developing an agreed State-wide integrated transport strategy;
• developing multi-modal network plans;
• undertaking State-wide capital investment planning, evaluation and prioritisation;
• integrated planning for major transport system projects;
• developing funding principles and pricing signals to ensure appropriate
development and use of transport assets;
• improving freight access to key terminals, improving freight flows and increasing
competitiveness through reduced costs;
• reducing the costs associated with road trauma by enhancing the accessibility
and safety of public transport systems;
• providing for the efficient distribution of goods and services to business and the
community;
• ensuring flexibility to meet the demands of a changing economy and market
environments; and
• enabling commuter access to industrial centres and to the services and goods
they require.
The key efficiency performance indicator used to measure this performance is:

Budget Target
The variance reflects cost
structures for Multi-Modal
Planning activity and management
of the Perth Parking Fund (totalling
$3.66 million) that transferred to
DoT during 2010-11 which were
not included in the budget target.
Due to the split of DPI and the
introduction of OSS, the 2010-11
KPIs were remapped to include
not only human resource costs (as
was done in 2009-10), but items
such as:
• Consultancy fees
• Professional services
that are attributable to Integrated
Transport planning functions.
