1.1 Performance of Transport Administrations

Technical Committee 1.1 "Performance of Transport Administrations" focuses on identifying best practices for establishing a framework for measuring the efficiency and effectiveness of Transport Administrations, including the establishment of assessment indicators/evaluation indexes (benchmarking) that can be used to recognize opportunities for improving the overall performance of transport administrations, with a particular focus on overall customer experience and communication of performance information. All this, taking into account the impact of the sharing economy and other disruptive technologies on the performance of Transport Administrations.

In addition, Technical Committee analyzes effective approaches for defining and promoting diversity in opportunity across the roads and transportation sectors, as well as how to attract new employees into the transport industry/profession, specially, young professionals.
