Federal Highway AdministrationLeidosHDR, Inc.Pat Noyes & AssociatesCorbin, J. C.Federal Highway AdministrationThis report documents a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) project to address the need to connect system-level, goal and objective-setting in the transportation planning process and operations planning that occurs among operators. Through document-based research and input from an expert practitioner group, the project team developed a basic five-step methodology that provides a connection from system-level goals and objectives developed at the planning level to more detailed operational objectives, approaches, and tactics deployed at the corridor or network level. This methodology recommends the use of reliability data and analysis tools, when available, to move from one step to the next. The methodology is illustrated in its application to four scenarios in the appendix.88
