Abstract
Transportation professionals in Florida are searching for new ways of measuring the performance of transportation systems in support of efficient investment decisions and policy analysis. After researching methodologies used elsewhere in the U.S., the Transportation Statistics Office of the Florida Department of Transportation developed the Florida Reliability Method (FRM), which can measure travel time reliability based on a benchmarking technique. The FRM reflects the percent of travel on a corridor that takes no longer than the expected travel time plus a certain acceptable travel time. In May 2001, the FRM was used to conduct travel reliability surveys on 3 Florida corridors to determine travel reliability and compare it with the same measure for the previous year. Findings are presented and discussed.
