2018 Traffic Signal Benchmarking Self Assessment Web Briefing

2018 Traffic Signal Benchmarking Self Assessment Web Briefing April 4, 2018 1

Presentation Outline • • Why Are We Assessing Traffic Signal Programs Some History Assumptions Underlying Concepts • Objectives & Performance Based Management • Traffic Signal Program and Organizational Capability • Gc. OST Framework • The Self Assessment 2

Why Are We Assessing Traffic Signal Programs Goal Improved Mobility, Safety and Efficiency, Reduce Congestion Objectives and performance-based management in design, operations, and maintenance Strategy / Program of Activities Benchmark traffic signal infrastructure: What is the current level and extent of assets which is integral to informing investment decisions. Capture for traffic signal management, operation and maintenance • Organizational and workforce trends: • Technology implementation • Current practices Value To encourage improvements in practice to benefit the traveling public through proactive management of traffic signal programs leading to consistent system and organizational reliability. 3

Some History… Traffic Signal Infrastructure U. S. (Est. ) 323, 000 Number of signals: (1/1000 capita) Value of traffic signal infrastructure assets: ($265 K/intersection) Annual operating/maintenance program cost: ($3, 858/intersection) Annual capital program cost: $85. 9 B $1. 2 B $859 M Source: National Transportation Operations Coalition 2012 Traffic Signal Report Card
