Abstract This report provides a state-of-the-practice description of domestic and international practices for key performance indicators (KPIs) in public-private partnerships (PPPs). The report is based on a comprehensive literature review and eight case studies from Australia, British Columbia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The concept for this report came from an implementation strategy in Public-Private Partnerships for Highway Infrastructure: Capitalizing on International Experience, as well as Linking Transportation Performance and Accountability and Construction Management Practices in Canada and Europe. The report identifies how government-developed performance measures reflecting societal goals such as congestion management or environmental impact are translated through KPIs and included in project documents for designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining transportation facilities. The report shows that it is possible to align projects with these higher goals. The findings are applicable to agencies that wish to align overarching organizational and societal performance measures through KPIs not only to PPP projects, but also to conventionally bid projects. 17.

Scan teams usually include representa- tives from FHWA, State departments of transporta- tion, local governments, transportation trade and research groups, the private sector, and academia. After a scan is completed, team members evaluate findings and develop comprehensive reports, includ- ing recommendations for further research and pilot projects to verify the value of adapting innovations for U.S. use. Scan reports, as well as the results of pilot programs and research, are circulated throughout the country to State and local transportation officials and the private sector. Since 1990, more than 85 international scans have been organized on topics such as pavements, bridge construction and mainte- nance, contracting, intermodal transport, organiza- tional management, winter road maintenance, safety, intelligent transportation systems, planning, and policy.
