Transportation Preservation and Renewal Index (Council Key Result Indicator #10)
Measure Description/Definition
Transportation issues can have a tremendous impact on living, working and doing business in Olathe. Transportation management reaches across all modes of transportation (pedestrian, bicycle, bus and auto) and seeks to make modal connections and improvements consistent with sound land-use planning.
As part of the 2016 Transportation Master Plan update, Public Works revised the Mobility Index to measure progress toward organizational goals relevant to transportation. The revised indexes were developed to provide a more granular view of the organizational goals to Advance Safe and Efficient Transportation Choices, Deliver High-Quality Customer Service, Be Responsible & Accountable Financial Stewards, and Improve and Maintain City Assets.
The former Mobility Index was separated into the following three indexes:
- Mobility – availability and movement within the overall transportation network
- Transportation Preservation and Renewal - current performance of the system vital to support existing and future assets
- Transportation Satisfaction - customer perception regarding overall transportation network availability, movement and condition
The Transportation Preservation and Renewal element emphasizes current performance of the system, which is vital to support existing and future assets, by incorporating asset management life cycle costing best practices.
With the focus areas of Transportation and Public Safety as a backdrop, the following initiative frames Olathe’s desire to improve and maintain city assets:
Initiative 1: Maintain the existing transportation system.
Target Determination
2017 will be the baseline year for this new measure.
Analysis
The baseline score for 2017 was 100. In 2018, the index score was 107. In 2019, the index score was 94. In 2020, the index score is 103, representing a rise of 9 points.
This rise was due to the impact of Street Maintenance Sales Tax initiatives towards street preservation as well as an emphasis on supporting the current street network through asset management life-cycle costing best practices.
