Abstract

This synthesis report was initiated in response to a recommendation made during the Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) Reassessment undertaken by the Federal Highway Administration in 1997-1998 to expand data sharing and partnering more widely among states, MPOs, and local governments. It documents current arrangements among state DOTs, MPOs, and other regional and local agencies to partner in the collection and share in the use of HPMS data. Key elements examined include institutional arrangements, the use of data and data sharing, cost and resource requirements, technical capabilities/barriers, implementation processes, data quality and capability, as well as successes, failures, and difficulties. This report of the Transportation Research Board includes case studies of successful partnerships. Interviews extended queries into the use of data management systems, where HPMS is an element, but not the sole reason for the data management system. (A)
