Performance management is recognized as improving many different areas of transportation planning. Some of these areas include: improving project and program execution, information...... middle of paper... this will be very helpful in growing the transportation areas immensely. While everything else is rapidly evolving and growing, the transportation field must follow suit. The PBPP process is a great way to improve multimodal transportation in all respects.
