Winter Performance Measurement System Helps Idaho Transportation Department Reduce Maintenance Spending

Three seasons after implementing its Winter Performance Measurement System, the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) has cut its winter maintenance spending by 29 percent — from $30 million in 2011/2012 to $21.4 million in 2013/2014 — and reduced its three-year average of accidents on icy and snowy roads by 27 percent. In addition to improving winter driving conditions, ITD also met and exceeded its goal of travelers not being impeded by winter storms at least 55 percent of the time. In the 2013/2014, ITD's mobility percent was 59 and in 2014/2015 it improved to 73 percent.
