Step 2: Goals & Objectives - Performance Measures for Reporting

Performance Tracking

Please note: Only cities and counties in metropolitan areas and Metro are required to complete the annual reporting as described below. Within Metro, Metro is responsible for completing the annual reporting, the cities and counties within Metro shall coordinate with Metro on the reporting.

For cities and counties in metropolitan areas and Metro, OAR 660-012-0900 requires annual reporting on progress toward meeting OAR Division 12 and Division 44 requirements. The performance measures that are reported will depend on whether an agency has a land use and transportation scenario approved by the Oregon Transportation Commission as provided in OAR 660-044-0050 or OAR 660-044-0120. MPOs required to establish an approved land use and transportation scenario are Metro, Salem-Keizer, and Eugene-Springfield.

Per OAR 660-012-0215, cities, counties, ODOT, and Metro (including the cities and counties within Metro) will establish two or more performance standards that support meeting targets for the performance measures for reporting. See Performance Standards/Targets for more information about requirements for performance standards.

Cities counties with an approved land use and transportation scenario, and Metro

Please note: MPOs required to establish an approved land use and transportation scenario are Metro, Salem-Keizer, and Eugene- Springfield.

OAR 660-012-0905 outlines the performance measure requirements for the required annual reporting. For cities, counties, and Metro with an approved land use and transportation scenario, performance measures for reporting shall include those identified in the approved regional scenario plan according to 660-044-0110.  The performance measures evaluate community outcomes that were developed through engagement with members of underserved communities consistent with 660-044-0110 engagement requirements. The Division 44 engagement requirements provide an equity lens and may be consistent with OAR 660-012-0135 requirements for an engagement-focused equity outcomes analysis.  Per OAR 660-012-0910, cities, counties, and Metro shall set performance targets in their TSP for each reporting year for each performance measure. Performance targets for the performance measures must be set at levels that are reasonably likely to achieve the metropolitan area GHG target from an approved land use and transportation scenario plan.

Cities and counties without an approved land use and transportation scenario

OAR 660-012-0905 outlines the performance measure requirements for the required annual reporting. For cities and counties without an approved land use and transportation scenario, performance measures for reporting shall include all of the following measures at a minimum:

Compact Mixed-Use Development Measures

• Number of publicly supported affordable housing units in climate-friendly areas
• Number of existing and permitted dwelling units in climate-friendly areas and percentage of existing and permitted dwelling units in climate-friendly areas relative to the total number of existing and permitted dwelling units in the jurisdiction
• Share of retail and service jobs in climate-friendly areas relative to retail and service jobs in the jurisdiction
  

Active Transportation Measures

• Percent of collector and arterials streets in climate-friendly areas and underserved population neighborhoods with bicycle and pedestrian facilities that are rated with a Level of Traffic Stress 1 or 2
• Percent of collector and arterial roadways in climate-friendly areas and underserved population neighborhoods with safe and convenient marked pedestrian crossings
• Percent of transit stops with safe pedestrian crossings within 100 feet
  

Transportation Options Measures

• Number of employees covered by an Employee Commute Options Program
• Number of households engaged with Transportation Options activities
• Percent of all Transportation Options activities that were focused on underserved population communities
  

Transit Measures

• Share of households within a half-mile of a priority transit corridor
• Share of low-income households within a half-mile of a priority transit corridor
• Share of key destinations within a half-mile of a priority transit corridor
  

As described in OAR 660-012-0135, the performance measures shall include ones that evaluate the key community outcomes that were developed through engagement with members of underserved populations, as identified in OAR 660-012-0125.

Per OAR 660-012-0910, cities and counties shall set performance targets in their TSP for each reporting year for each performance measure. Performance targets for the performance measures must be set at levels that are reasonably likely to achieve the metropolitan area GHG targets adopted by the DLCD Land Conservation and Development Commissions.

Performance measures should be established at the onset of the plan to guide and influence the planning process. They should be based on the jurisdiction's transportation goals and objectives. The following provides an overview of how and when goals and objectives, evaluation criteria, and performance measures/targets/standards are integrated into the planning process.
