At its November meeting, the Jackson Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (MPO’s) Policy Committee approved a series of performance targets in conformance with new federal legislation rules. New guidelines require State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) and MPOs to assess the condition and set short-term goals for a number of transportation performance areas such as safety, pavement and bridge conditions, travel time reliability, freight reliability, and transit assets.
Earlier in 2018, the Policy Committee addressed targets for safety and transit assets, but during its November meeting the Committee approved supporting the State of Mississippi’s established targets for travel time reliability and bridge and pavement conditions.
