Transportation-related performance programs across the nation have reached a critical juncture between performance program creation and integration of results into decision-making processes. Only time will tell if the fundamental strength of performance programs, that of enhancing strategic planning, will be unleashed, thereby strengthening the management of transportation programs and the relationship with decision-makers and the public that government transportation providers desperately need
