Abstract:
This best practice focuses on developing indicators and benchmarks, specifically as they relate to roads, water, wastewater and sewers. Accordingly, it provides a framework or methodology to assist Canadian municipalities to develop, for themselves, the basic indicators, benchmarks and performance measures necessary to assist them in their infrastructure planning and decision-making processes. This framework describes a guide for municipalities in developing and using indicators in support of high-level infrastructure decision making. It also attempts to foster a deeper understanding of the relationship between planning decisions and the state of infrastructure assets. As such this best practice is best construed as an inspirational ‘how to’ framework for the development of indicators and benchmarks, as opposed to a definitive prescription.
