Policy Options
www.pewcenteronthestates.org
• Improve the information—focus on results and make
sure performance measures link to concrete goals.
• Use cost benefit analysis and other economic
tools to
look at the economic impact of potential transportation
projects.
• Bring performance measurement information
more
clearly into the appropriations process, so when
states are budgeting dollars, they are looking at the
information on what those dollars will deliver for the state.
