Over the past two decades transportation agencies have attempted to apply the “management of performance,” which is a strategic approach that uses performance data to support decisions to arrive at desired performance outcomes. Performance management is recognized to improve many different areas of transportation planning of projects and programs, inform... middle of paper... will be very helpful in growing the transportation sectors immensely. With everything else evolving and growing rapidly, the transportation sector must follow suit. The PBPP process is a great way to improve multimodal transportation in all aspects.
