From the friendly horse and carriage folks: "The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF) has developed a web-based dashboard to share DOT&PF performance measures with the public, elected officials, and partnering agencies. The site, located at www.dashboard.dot.alaska.gov, uses gauges on a dashboard to visually show the progress of 11 key DOT&PF performance measures. The gauges show current operations and desired trends. Visitors to the site can click on each gauge to advance to a second page that provides more information; such as why the measurement is important, what is being done, and how performance is measured."
Key performance indicators include:
- Number of centerline miles of National Highway System roads meeting department standards
- Traffic fatalities
- Occupational injuries and illnesses
- Seasonally closed airports
- Deck area of structurally deficient or functionally obsolete bridges
- Alaska Marine Highway on-time departures
- Alaska Marine Highway vessel car deck capacity utilization
- Airport revenues
- Runway lighting
- Commercial motor vehicle weight compliance
- Administrative and engineering costs on projects
Data is only updated annually with plans to go quarterly. If they could make the data near-real time and replace the gauge metaphor with a modern technique like bullet charts we'd have a winner.
