“MDOT has been documenting performance measures all along and making this information available to the public,” Michigan Transportation Director Kirk Steudle, president of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, said in a statement. “With this move, we are making it easy for citizens to track our progress.”
Steudle said the new “MDOT Performance” section of the department’s website will be updated frequently and expanded in coming months.
“Performance measurements are critical to our commitment to deliver the highest quality transportation services and encourage accountability, innovative thinking, and making the best use of our limited resources,” he said. “MDOT wants to be transparent about our efforts to work better, faster, cheaper, safer, and smarter.”
The revamped transportation dashboard tracks progress in economic growth, safety, accountability, mobility, and conditions. It is available at 1.usa.gov/MDOTdashboard.
