DATE:03-25-25
DEPT:AAMPO
SUBJECT:PERFORMANCE TARGET UPDATES
TRANSPORTATION POLICY COMMITTEE ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
Per federal requirements, the MPO is required to adopt and utilize the following performance measure
targets:
PM1 – Roadway Safety Targets
PM2 – Pavement & Bridge Condition Targets
PM3 – System Reliability & Freight Targets
Transit Asset Management (TAM) Targets
Transit Safety Targets
These targets are required to be included within the MPO’s transportation plans, with the regional
performance relative to these targets being detailed in Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) updates.
The Iowa DOT develops its own statewide targets for PM1, PM2, and PM3 measures. When the state
updates its targets, the MPO has 180 days to either support the updated statewide targets or develop its
own targets. Historically, the MPO has chosen to support the state’s targets.
On September 30, 2024, the Iowa DOT notified the MPO that it submitted its Mid-Performance
Period Progress Report (MPPPR) to FHWA. The MPPPR included a few adjusted PM2 targets.
As such, the MPO has until March 29, 2025, to adopt new PM2 targets.
CyRide develops its own TAM targets and transit safety targets. When CyRide updates its targets, the
MPO has 180 days to either support the updated targets from CyRide or develop its own. Historically,
the MPO has chosen to adopt CyRide’s targets. On November 25, 2024, CyRide notified the MPO of
its new TAM Plan, which included new TAM targets. As such, the MPO has until May 24, 2025,
to adopt new TAM targets.
The following tables show the updated targets from the Iowa DOT and CyRide:

CyRide provided the following narrative to the MPO pertaining to their TAM targets:
CyRide met the 40’-60’ HD Bus performance target for 2023 and replaced eleven buses in 2023
including two 40’ HD battery electric buses, one 60’ HD articulated bus and eight 40’ HD large diesel
buses. CyRide did not met the cutaway (minibus) target in replacing two buses as anticipated. CyRide
decided to purchase low-floor cutaways instead of high-floor cutaways which cost more than a high
floor. Then prices increased for this style bus over what was available in the contract and CyRide
worked with the Iowa DOT to receive additional grant funding for this considerable shortfall. These
issues delayed the purchase of the vehicles, but they are currently on order for delivery by the end of FY
2024.
No shop truck equipment is expected to exceed the useful life benchmark (ULB) of 10 years for 2024
through 2028.
The facilities are both rated a 4 on the TERM scale in 2022 for both the admin/maintenance facility and
Ames Intermodal Facility. CyRide has been renovating the HVAC system over the last three years and
is planning a major shop rehabilitation for 2023-2024 to expand the parts storage for mechanics and
update the shop area for the first time since the facility was built in 1983. Ongoing maintenance will
continue for the Ames Intermodal Facility that opened in 2012. Therefore, CyRide believes that 0% of
these facilities will be rated under 3.0 on the TERM scale through 2028.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Adopt the Iowa DOT's updated PM2 targets and CyRide's new TAM targets.
2. Direct the MPO to develop its own PM2 targets and/or TAM targets in coordination with the Iowa
2
DOT (PM2) and/or CyRide (TAM).
MPO DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The Iowa DOT has a well-established methodology for developing its statewide performance targets,
and CyRide develops its TAM targets using their regional transit asset management data and knowledge
of their fleet and assets. Additionally, these targets were unanimously recommended for approval by the
Transportation Technical Committee. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the MPO Director that
the Transportation Policy Committee adopt Alternative No. 1, as noted.
