Understanding the Sustainability Performance Measurement Framework 15
OVERARCHING COMPONENTS
Overarching components of the framework are items that need to be taken into consideration
throughout the framework application process, and include aspects such as the engagement of
stakeholders, partners, and external agencies.
AUXILIARY COMPONENTS
Auxiliary components are related but optional components that supplement the framework
application process but are not central to it. These include items such as (1) developing a
working definition of sustainability, (2) organizational sustainability initiatives that are
independent of a transportation agency's functions (e.g., energy efficient buildings, recycling of
office waste), and (3) organizational application of broader transportation sustainability
performance measures (such as carpooling or ridesharing) specifically for the agency's
employees.
