HD111 - Performance Goals and Strategies


Executive Summary:
The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) was directed through Item 484 H., of the 2005 Appropriation Act, to develop performance goals and strategies as part of the Budget. This requirement has been satisfied via the new Strategic Plan process that was implemented for the Governor's Executive Biennial Budget for 2006 - 2008. The Strategic Plan and Service Area Plans were developed in conjunction with the implementation of the Roadmap for Virginia's Future, described in HB 2097 of the 2003 General Assembly Session (§ 2.2-2683 of the Code) as "a planning and performance management system consisting of strategic planning, performance, measurement, program evaluation, and performance budgeting."

These goals and strategies are based on realistic assumptions of revenues and appropriations. Service area plans that include goals and strategies and performance measures were developed for the major activities of the agency, including (1) highway system maintenance; (2) highway system construction; (3) financial planning, management, and accountability; (4) toll facilities operation and management; (5)environmental evaluation and planning; (6) traffic engineering; and (7) transportation research.

This report is VDOT's portion of section B in the Governor's Executive Budget Document for the 2006 - 2008 biennium. This represents extracts from VDOT's strategic plan and the service area plans are listed, with the budget proposals under each service area. This plan was developed over the summer with guidance from the Council on Virginia's Future and the Department of Planning and Budget (DPB). Updates to the service areas and strategic plan are planned for the spring of every odd calendar year, before the start of the next biennium. Updates for the performance measures will be made as needed with guidance from DPB.
