"TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 736: Resource Allocation Logic Framework to Meet Highway Asset Preservation presents a logic framework for allocating limited highway asset preservation funds among competing demands in order to help maximize system performance. The report also presents a spreadsheet-based computational tool that implements the framework. Prototypical application scenarios and case-study examples illustrate how transportation agency staff may use the framework to assist resource allocation decision making"--Publication information.

To inform debate on a new transportation bill being considered, the authors review the literature on the economic outcomes of highway infrastructure spending, which constitutes the largest share of federal spending on transportation infrastructure. They highlight the connections between highway spending and the economy and then analyze the literature to trace the effects of highway infrastructure on productivity, output, and employment.

ICF International and the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and Federal Transit Administration (FTA), along with experts from the transportation industry, collaborated to produce the Performance-Based Planning and Programming Guidebook. Over the past two decades, transportation agencies have increasingly applied performance management-a strategic approach that uses performance data to support decisions to help achieve desired performance outcomes. Performance-based planning and programming (PBPP) refers to the application of performance management within planning and programming processes of transportation agencies to achieve desired performance outcomes for the multimodal transportation system. This guidebook describes the PBPP process and provides examples of effective practices to help practitioners advance these approaches in their own planning and programming activities.
