5 Introduction The (TIP) is a short-range (5 year) capital improvement program (budget) of transportation projects consistent with federal regulations and area policies and strategies. A TIP is a prioritized, multi-year program for the implementation of federally funded transportation improvement projects in a region. As such, it serves as a planning tool to ensure the most effective use of limited funding for transportation improvements. It is also necessary for two other reasons. First, the TIP is a requirement of the federal transportation planning process as most recently legislated by the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, and Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU). The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) was signed into law in Secondly, a transportation improvement is not eligible for federal funding unless it is listed on the TIP. The TIP must include a certification by the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) that it was developed through a continuous, cooperative and comprehensive (3C) metropolitan transportation planning process, in conformance with various applicable Federal laws and regulations. Certification ensures the region's continued eligibility to receive Federal funds for highway and transit projects. In the CHATS region, the MPO consists of the 47 members listed in Appendix A of this document. CHATS is responsible, under contract with the South Carolina Department of Transportation, for conducting the regional transportation planning process utilizing federal planning funds. Background In 1977, Governor James Edwards appointed the BCD Council of Governments to perform the planning and programming functions of CHATS, in cooperation with the State Department of Transportation (SCDOT), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). CHATS currently serves 800 square miles comprised of the tri-county region's most urbanized areas. Generally, the study area contains of all the land expected to be urbanized within the next 20 years. It now consists of portions of all three counties in the BCD Region. CHATS is governed by a 47-member board representing governmental and transportation-related organizations from throughout its coverage area. As the MPO, the CHATS committee structure provides the forum for cooperative decision making in developing regional transportation plans and programs to meet changing needs. It is composed of elected and appointed officials representing local, state, and federal governments or agencies having interest or responsibility in comprehensive transportation planning. Federal Mandates Federal regulations require that a TIP be a product of the metropolitan planning process. CHATS implements SAFETEA-LU through plans and programs that consider all modes of transportation, and which are continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive to the degree appropriate [SEC. 1203(a)(4)]. In addition to the 3C process listed above, SAFETEA-LU emphasizes the broadening of public participation to include stakeholders who have not 5

6 traditionally been involved. Transportation planning under SAFETEA-LU must be performed in conjunction with state and local officials, transit operators and the public. Further, Metropolitan Planning Organizations are responsible for meeting the requirements of the Joint Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)/ Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Planning Rule (23 CFR part 450). The legislation requires that the metropolitan planning process must include a proactive public involvement process that provides complete information, timely public notice, full public access to key decisions, and early and continuing involvement of the public in developing plans and s (TIP) [23 CFR part (b)(1)]. MPO Structure MPOs are designated under Section 134 of Title 23, U.S. Code, for maintaining and conducting a continuous, cooperative, and comprehensive (3-C) regional transportation process that results in plans and programs consistent with the comprehensively planned development of the jurisdictions that comprise the CHATS area. Census defined urbanized areas of 50,000 or greater in population are designated as MPOs. The Governor, with the concurrence of area local governments, is charged with designating the MPO s lead planning agency. Because many metropolitan areas encompass several jurisdictions, each with their own comprehensive plans and transportation programs, designating one community to serve as the MPO for an area can be problematic. To ensure that each jurisdiction within the metropolitan area receives equal consideration in transportation decision making, many states have designated a regional planning commission or district to serve as the MPO s administrative staff. To facilitate and encourage maximum interaction among these groups and the local community, CHATS has an adopted committee structure. The Policy Committee, as the official decision making body, establishes the policies for the overall conduct of CHATS, is responsible for the adoption of plans and programs and approves study recommendations. They also provide oversight of transportation planning activities. In addition, subcommittees study issues and offer recommendations to the Policy Committee for all major studies and planning activities. The Technical Committee, which is established by the Policy Committee, is composed of the professional/technical representatives of the member governments and public agencies having direct or indirect responsibility for transportation planning and/or implementation. Their primary responsibility is to monitor all technical activities including the development of a draft UPWP and biennial development of a draft TIP for recommendation to the Policy Committee. They also direct and consider recommendations to the Policy Committee for further discussion and revision before submittal to the Policy Committee for final endorsement of all major studies and planning activities. Key Documents Common to MPOs The Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP): The UPWP lists the transportation studies and tasks to be performed by the MPO staff or member agencies over a one-year period. The UPWP includes all federally funded studies plus other state and local planning activities. Updates are required annually. The (TIP): The TIP is the region s way of prioritizing its limited transportation resources among the various needs of the area. It is a five-year program 6

7 covering the most immediate needs for transportation projects and strategies from the long-range transportation plan. In order to be included in the TIP, projects must have available funding and be included in the Long-Range Transportation Plan. The Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP): The transportation plan is used as the guide for the way the region plans to invest in the transportation system over a twenty-five year period. The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, and Efficient Transportation Equity Act-A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) mandates that the LRTP includes environmental, social, and intermodal considerations. It is a financially constrained 25-year vision of future transportation improvements. The CHATS 2030 LRTP was adopted in April 2005, and must be updated every 5 years to reflect changing conditions and new planning principals. The 2005 update established goals and objectives, which form the basis for the initial evaluation of projects submitted for the TIP. The process of undertaking major transportation studies, identifying short and long-range needs and targeting major growth areas in the CHATS area for intensive study has strengthened subsequent programming for the TIP. The entire planning/programming/implementation process is clear-cut and involves input by federal, state, and local governments and the public in the early planning stages, and carries through into TIP programming. The LRTP includes both long-range and short-range strategies/actions that lead to the development of efficient roadways, public transportation, bicycle/pedestrian transportation, and freight connections. The Congestion Management Process (CMP): Urban areas like the CHATS area with populations over 200,000 are called transportation management areas (TMAs). Transportation management areas must develop a CMS that both identifies and evaluates projects and strategies aimed at reducing traffic congestion and increasing the mobility of people and goods. The CHATS Area CMP is updated concurrently with the LRTP. Key CHATS Planning Documents 7

8 TIP Development The development of the TIP follows a process whereby new transportation projects, consistent with the LRTP and updated information about already active projects are solicited from the implementing agencies and local communities. For the TIP, only the updates were solicited for projects, as the anticipated funding levels will not allow for consideration of new projects. The projects are then evaluated by CHATS and SCDOT staff, and assigned priority scores based on multiple transportation and regional planning criteria as summarized below. Based on that prioritization, as well as project readiness and available funding, a draft TIP showing a proposed list of projects by year is prepared and distributed to MPO members and the Study Team for review and comment. The Draft TIP list is refined in response to comments from MPO and Study Team members, and released by the MPO for public comments. Projects are scheduled on the TIP based on their priority, likely implementation date and their fit within the CHATS Metropolitan Planning Organization funding estimated to be available for the Region. Implementation of a particular project requires many steps, most likely taking several years from beginning to end. Therefore, it is important that communities maintain an awareness of their long-term transportation needs so that projects can be initiated at an appropriate time to avoid unnecessary delays in keeping their transportation system up-to-date. The TIP contains all Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration transportation projects in the CHATS Planning Area, which are expected to use federal, state, and local funds within the next five-years. The projects in this TIP are programmed utilizing the following twenty (20) funding categories: 1. Federal Aid Special Appropriation (High Priority Projects) 2. FTA Section 5307 Capital 3. FTA Section 5309 Discretionary 4. FTA Section 5310 Special Needs 5. FTA Section 5316 Job Access and Reverse Commute 6. FTA Section 5317 New Freedom Program 7. FTA Section 5339 Alternatives Analysis 8. FTA Section 5340 Growing States and High Density States Formula 9. Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation (HBRR) 10. Interstate Discretionary (ID) 11. Interstate Maintenance (IM) 12. National Highway System (NHS) 13. Surface Transportation Program Enhancements (STP ENHANCEMENTS) 14. Surface Transportation Program Flexible (STP FLEX) 15. Surface Transportation Program Rail (STP RAIL) 16. Surface Transportation Program Safety (STP SAFETY) 17. Surface Transportation Program Urban (STP URBAN) 18. State Infrastructure Bank Funds 19. State Gas Tax Revenues 20. Local Option Sales Transportation Tax Revenues 8

9 With each program, the proposed projects represent priority regional needs identified through the comprehensive transportation planning process. The projects are identified in the tables following this narrative. The TIP Represents Regional Consensus The production of the TIP is the culmination of the transportation planning process representing a consensus among Federal, state, regional officials, and the public as to projects selected for implementation. Consensus is important because it ensures that all parties have cooperatively developed priorities before committing funds to a project. A project's inclusion in the TIP signifies regional agreement on the priority of the project and establishes federal funding eligibility. After the TIP is approved by the MPO, it is submitted to SCDOT for inclusion in the Statewide TIP (STIP), which is then submitted to FHWA and FTA for approval. Project Evaluation A requirement of SAFETEA-LU Legislation is that all projects included in the TIP be subject to a systematic selection process. To meet this mandate, the CHATS staff conducts an extensive screening process for all projects submitted for TIP funding. The CHATS staff evaluates the projects proposals comparing the projects to the eight SAFETEA-LU Planning Factors and the CHATS LRTP Goals and Objectives. A selection process was performed to assess the potential impacts of projects included in the CHATS Long-Range Transportation Plan. This analysis consisted of overlaying roadway project alignments/locations onto a series of maps that depict natural features, cultural/community sites, and demographic data. A windshield survey of project corridors was also conducted to verify noteworthy features. The results of this evaluation are summarized in matrix form and represent an assessment of potential project issues. The matrix evaluation criteria are grouped into four separates areas: Environment/Natural Features Cultural and Community Resources Environmental Justice Mobility and Implementation Potential project impacts are rated as Minor, Moderate, or Major for each of the above categories. This determination is based on a combination of criteria. For example, impacts are generally considered less severe if the project involves widening or other improvements along an existing roadway, as opposed to construction on new alignment. The following is a brief description for each of these headings. Environment/Natural Features This section is primarily focused on natural features related to water quality and threatened/endangered species as well as manmade hazards such as superfund sites. The characterization of impacts is primarily related to the presences of these features within a project corridor. As the frequency of these issues is noted, the severity index increases from no impact to major impacts. Specific features in this category include: Hydrological Bodies of water Floodplains/buffers Threatened species Parks/US Army Corps of Engineers properties Hazardous materials Hazardous waste Superfund sites 9

10 The following guidelines were used to rate project impacts in this category: Minor Impacts Road widening with single small creek crossing Road widening near sensitive area One or minimal hazardous waste/superfund areas affected Moderate Impacts Road widening with multiple creek crossings Road widening through sensitive area New alignment with single small creek crossing New alignment near sensitive area Multiple hazardous waste/superfund sites with minor impact areas Major Impacts New alignment along stream New alignment with multiple stream crossings New alignment through sensitive area Road widening or new alignment with numerous impacts Numerous hazardous waste/superfund sites with significant areas affected Cultural and Community Resources This category indicates the presence of community services, cultural resources, and institutions including schools churches, parks, protected lands, and historic areas. The impacts to these types of community resources are often that of proximity or when right-of-way is required from these sites. In the most extreme cases buildings may be directly impacted. More specifically these features include: Schools Shopping centers Hospitals Churches/cemeteries Historic resources Reinvestment areas The following guidelines were used to rate project impacts in this category: Minor Impacts Road widening within proximity to a community resource or sensitive area where no right-of-way is required nor are community resource buildings/structures directly affected New alignment within proximity to community resources where minor amounts of right-of-way are required in locations that do not impact the significance, operations, or relative safety of the community resource Moderate Impacts Road widening within proximity to a community resource or sensitive area where minimal amounts of right-of-way are required but no community resource buildings/structures are directly affected New alignment that requires measurable amounts of right-of-way from community resource properties where some impacts to the property are anticipated but do not include impacts to community resource buildings/structures Major Impacts Roadway widening and new location projects where significant right-of-way and possible direct impacts to buildings/structures are expected 10

11 Environmental Justice Environmental justice reviews conducted at the systems planning level typically involve the analysis of available demographic data from the US Census Bureau. When reviewing projects, it is important to consider not only specific project impacts but also the distribution of projects and transportation investments throughout the study area. The program seeks to minimize disproportionate impacts to minority and low-income groups through proactive planning. The CHATS transportation planning process seeks to minimize impacts to these groups by involving them in the planning process and avoiding or minimizing disproportionate impacts during the project selection. For the purposes of this screening exercise, projects were evaluated for their relative impacts to the following groups: Minority Hispanic Low-income The following guidelines were used to rate project impacts in this category: Minor Impacts Road widening or new alignment within proximity or adjacent to minority and/or low-income communities areas where 50% or more of the population is either minority, Hispanic, or low-income Moderate Impacts Road widening or new alignment that passes directly through a minority and/or lowincome community where 50% or more of the population is either minority, Hispanic, or low-income Major Impacts Roadway widening and new location projects where significant right-of-way and possible direct impacts to buildings/structures are expected within areas with 50% or more of the population is either minority, Hispanic, or low-income Mobility and Implementation As projects are considered it is important to understand the relative benefits as well as the difficulties that may be encountered during implementation. For this reason, the relative mobility benefits and constructability difficulties have been included in this evaluation. This is one of the first steps in understanding the expected ratio between costs and benefits. While this evaluation is not intended as a quantitative assessment of specific benefits and project costs, providing this information empowers planners to select projects for inclusion in the program that have a realistic chance of being implemented. Constructability Project constructability was considered to ascertain the difficulties associated with project permitting, costs, and even traffic control. Projects with challenging constructability issues may be more costly due to impacts on design and delays associated with maintaining traffic flow during construction. An example of a project with minor constructability issues would be a road widening project where sufficient right-of-way exists and few sensitive areas are affected. Conversely, an example of a major constructability challenge could be a bridge replacement project where sensitive environmental features of the built and natural environment are present 11

12 and where limited crossing alternatives exist. In this example, an atypical bridge design may be necessary and creative solutions to maintain traffic flow would likely extend the duration of construction having an impact on project cost. The following guidelines were used to rate project impacts in this screening process: Minor Constructability Impacts Road widening where little or no right-of-way is required and few sensitive environmental features are present. Traffic can be maintained during construction along the existing facility. New alignment project located outside of sensitive areas where few impacts to the built environment are expected. Moderate Constructability Impacts Road widening where some sensitive areas are impacted. Traffic can still be maintained but there may be disruptions along links in the corridor. Environmental permitting may impact project schedule. New alignment projects that traverse through a sensitive area but where no changes in typical design area required. Environmental permitting may impact project schedule. Major Constructability Impacts Road widening or bridge replacement project that traverses sensitive environmental areas for a significant length where atypical designs are required as well as significant environmental permitting process is expected. Creative designs and traffic control may be necessary to implement. New alignment with multiple environmental impacts and/or structures. Creative design solutions and significant permitting will be required. Travel Demand Benefits The assessment of mobility benefits has also been considered during this process. While all of the previous evaluation criteria relate to a project s potential impacts, this category seeks to rate the relative travel benefits associated with implementing the project. The project evaluation matrix expresses these benefits using a rating system as defined below: Category Expected Level of Benefit Provides a low level of congestion relief to roadway system Provides a moderate level of congestion relief to roadway system Provides a high level of congestion relief to roadway system 12

14 Financial Constraint The TIP must be financially constrained, meaning that the amount of funding programmed must not exceed the amount of funding estimated to be available. In developing the TIP, CHATS has taken into consideration the transportation funding revenues expected to be available during the five years of the TIP (Federal through ), and has found the TIP to be financially constrained. The financial values are in year of expenditure dollars, based on an annual inflation rate of four percent. The CHATS financial statement can be found on page 154. Consistent with Federal guidelines, we have established a local process to perform administrative amendment to the TIP. If a project is valued at $5 million dollars or less, an amendment is necessary if the change is $500,000 or more. The threshold for projects valued at greater than $5 million, changes of 10 percent or greater of the total project value. Changes below these thresholds may be considered administrative modifications (minor amendment). The BCDCOG Executive Director and the SCDOT Office of Planning execute administrative modifications, and, although no public review period is required, one may be provided at the staff s discretion. TIP Cycle The number of years of programming included in the TIP varies by fund source. All five years of programming in the TIP, Fiscal Years (s) through , will be officially adopted by the CHATS Policy Committee and by the State as part of the Statewide Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP). In the case of some projects, carryover funding from prior years is included and noted as prior year carryover funding. In addition, estimated funding for projects in future years (the estimated out years) is included for information. TIP Amendment Process and Procedure From time to time circumstances dictate that changes be made to the TIP following its biennial adoption. Federal regulations permit changes to the TIP if the procedures for doing so are consistent with federal requirements for TIP development and approval. These changes, or amendments, are not routine. CHATS will consider such amendments when the circumstances prompting the change are compelling. Proposed changes will be reviewed by CHATS staff before any actions are considered. All changes must follow CHATS policies on the Public Participation Plan. Changes must be consistent with the LRTP, must maintain the financial constraint of the TIP, and must be consistent with federal requirements. Proposed additions or changes to projects must also be consistent with the rules of the particular funding program under which the funding was authorized. CHATS may receive an amendment request to fund a new project during the two-year TIP cycle. For example, during the current TIP cycle project applications were solicited for Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5316 and Section 5317 funding. Once new projects proposed for funding are identified, and the funding committed, staff initiates the process to amend the projects and project funding in the TIP. All rules for amending new projects in the TIP are followed (Public involvement process, Title VI requirements, LRTP consistency, financial constraint, etc.). When CHATS is not involved in the programming decision associated with a project, staff relies on project sponsors to initiate a TIP amendment. If CHATS is aware of new 14

15 funding (i.e. Federal earmarks, one-time state funding programs, etc), staff may alert sponsors of the funding commitment and request that an amendment be initiated. However, generally it is up to the project sponsor to initiate amendment requests to add new funding, or make necessary adjustments to project scope, cost, and schedule, as conditions warrant. All regionally significant transportation projects and all transportation projects requiring a federal action must be included in the TIP. These projects may be added to the TIP at any time, as long as procedures for doing so are consistent with federal requirements for TIP development and approval. Types of TIP Amendments Federal and State policies distinguish between two types of TIP amendments: Minor Amendments and Major Amendments. These types of amendments differ based on the magnitude of the proposed change and the level of review required by various federal, state, and local agencies. As a general rule, significant changes to the cost, scope and schedule of a project listing requires a Major Amendment, whereas minor changes in fund sources, description, lead agency, project limits, etc. may be processed through minor amendments. Major Amendments must be approved by the Policy Committee, the SCDOT, FHWA, and FTA. Approval of minor amendments has been delegated to BCDCOG Executive Director and/or the SCDOT Office of Planning. Proposed amendments to the TIP must be developed in accordance with the provisions of 23 CFR , 23 CFR , and/or 23 CFR , and approved by the federal agencies in accordance with 23 CFR In general terms, these regulations state that the TIP may be modified at any time in a manner that is consistent with the procedures agreed to by the cooperating parties for developing the TIP. All other federal requirements concerning the development, public involvement, and federal agencies approval of the TIP must be executed in accordance with in 23 CFR Part 450. Regardless of the type of change, all modifications must be consistent with the LRTP, must maintain the financial constraint of the TIP, and must be consistent with federal Title VI requirements. Minor Amendment Minor Amendments are changes that revise project descriptions and funding source. Other types of changes that can be made through a Minor Amendment are changes to a project s lead agency, changes that split or combine more than one project, and changes to required information for grouped project listings. They take about 30 days to process and need to be approved by the BCDCOG Executive Director and the SCDOT Office of Statewide Planning. The following changes may be made through a Minor Amendment, as long as the change occurs within the approved timeframe of the TIP, and maintain the financial constraint of the TIP: Change in project sponsor or implementing agency Splitting or combining projects Adding a prior phase to a programmed project. A TIP adjustment to reflect the addition of a previous phase of a project, such as the inclusion of right-of-way, does not require formal CHATS Policy Committee approval Moving programmed funds between programmed projects. A TIP adjustment to reflect additional project costs covered by shifting funds from one project to another does not require formal MPO Policy Committee approval. However, caution should be used not to 15

16 reduce funding from one project to the extent that the stability of that project would be affected Moving a project from year to year within a TIP period provided that the move does not cross an Air Quality Horizon year (as applicable) Changing a project description that does not change the Air Quality Conformity finding (as applicable), change the intend scope of the project, or does not necessitate revising the NEPA documentation or will not alter the NEPA determination A TIP adjustment to reflect a project s start or completion date within a five (5) year allotted time frame does not require formal MPO Policy Committee approval Federal public involvement procedures required by 23 CFR is not necessary for minor changes. Major Amendment Major Amendments are changes other than minor amendments as described. Major amendments usually take about 60 days to process and need to be approved by the CHATS Policy Committee, SCDOT, FHWA, and FTA. Adding or deleting a project or changes in funding is considered a major amendment. All changes that do not fall within the category of a minor amendment are processed as major amendments. The following changes are examples of changes made through a Major Amendment: Adding a new project or deleting a programmed project from the five year period of the TIP Adding new, un-programmed funds regardless of the source A major change of project scope, such as a change that is inconsistent with the NEPA documentation or will change the NEPA determination, or a change that affects the approved Air Quality conformity findings (as applicable) Any change requiring a new regional air quality conformity finding (as applicable) A greater than 10 percent cost increase in a phase of a project listed in the current TIP Moving a project from year to year within a TIP period if the move crosses an Air Quality Horizon Year (as applicable) These amendment classifications and procedures are consistent with the Statewide TIP Guidelines promulgated by SCDOT, FHWA, and FTA. It is intended that the CHATS TIP Amendment Process and Procedures follow, and adhere to the provisions of the Statewide TIP Guidelines. Once staff receives a request for a TIP amendment/ adjustment either from a local jurisdiction, transit provider, or through SCDOT, CHATS staff determines if the change is a minor or major amendment. If a major amendment is warranted, CHATS will advertise the TIP change on its website and in the local newspapers for public comment at the Policy Committee meetings. If the amendment is approved, staff will then forward the TIP to SCDOT to have included into the STIP. If there is an objection, either by the general public, or by the Policy Committee, CHATS staff will take the appropriate action regarding the comments. If the change is a minor amendment, CHATS will provide SCDOT with the appropriate documentation to make the adjustment and SCDOT will forward it onto FHWA/FTA. Requests concerning these changes 16

17 must come from the SCDOT in writing. The implementing jurisdiction or agency and the staff of CHATS must concur in the need for the change and in its likely beneficial effect on the implementation of the project. Title VI Compliance Investments made in the TIP must be consistent with federal Title VI requirements. Title VI prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, income, and national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. Public outreach to and involvement of individuals in low income and minority communities covered under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act and subsequent Civil Rights Restoration Act, and series of federal statues enacted pertaining to environmental justice, are critical to regional planning and programming decisions. The fundamental principles of environmental justice include: Avoiding, minimizing or mitigating disproportionately high and adverse health or environmental effects on minority and low-income populations; Ensuring full and fair participation by all potentially affected communities in the transportation decision-making process; and Preventing the denial, reduction, or significant delay in the receipt of benefits by minority populations and low-income communities The decision process by which new projects are selected for inclusion in the TIP must consider equitable solicitation and selection of project candidates in accordance with federal Title VI requirements. The CHATS Title VI Plan is available at the BCDCOG office or on the BCDCOG website. Public Involvement Process Engaging the public in the planning process is critical to the success of any transportation plan or program, and it is a tenet of the SAFETEA-LU legislation. Such legislation underscores the need for public involvement, calling on MPOs to provide citizens, affected public agencies, representatives of transportation agencies, private providers of transportation and other interested parties with a reasonable opportunity to participate and comment on transportation plans and programs. The Public Participation Plan for CHATS is located in the BCDCOG office or on our website. In What Ways Can the Public Participate? Public participation occurs during all stages of a project's development. Participation in the LRTP visioning process is the most effective starting point. Public input may also be provided at various meetings or informal sessions with government officials and staff. Citizens are also asked to participate in special task forces to review transportation improvement concepts at the corridor, city/county, and regional level. Finally, once a project is in the TIP and it enters the preliminary engineering phase, the detailed environmental review process affords additional opportunities for public comment. The CHATS public participation plan includes ongoing public participation activities through the various committees and directly to the Policy Committee. Representatives from the private sector, social service agencies, civic/environmental organizations, and other interest groups are contacted and advised of upcoming public review meetings and opportunities for providing 17

18 comments on proposed projects. Citizen members also serve on various special-purpose regional planning committees. Citizens and public interest groups also have the opportunity to comment on the draft TIP before it is adopted by the MPO. The MPO conducts a public comment period for the TIP and holds informational meetings to allow citizens to ask questions and make comments. Copies of the draft TIP are distributed according to the process outlined in the PPP and the TIP document can be accessed through the BCDCOG website at Consultation with Interested Parties CHATS will provide notice of upcoming public review meetings or review periods being held on the draft and final TIP document. Notice will be provided to known interested parties: Public transportation providers Freight shippers Providers of freight transportation services Private providers of transportation Users of public transportation Users of pedestrian walkways and bicycle facilities Disabled Elderly Low-income Limited English-speaking populations Conclusion The projects outlined in the TIP offer the region substantial improvements in mobility, air quality, and a transportation network that supports economic vitality. An overall objective is to enhance the quality of life for the traveling public. This proactive approach seeks to offer efficient and safe transportation infrastructure in the CHATS Planning Area. 18

19 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FOR THE CHARLESTON AREA TRANSPORTATION STUDY Guideshare Projects In the State of South Carolina, Guideshare is the federal-aid funding allocation to MPOs. These funds can be used for highway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, transit, or planning projects. The allocation is based on study area population. Under federal law, large MPOs with urbanized area populations over 200,000 are called Transportation Management Areas (TMAs). Only TMAs are entitled to specific allocations of federal funds called Urban Attributable Funds Guideshare Projects 19

Interchange, I-26 Widening, I-26 Frontage Roads, and construction of the Sheep Island Parkway Planning Ref #: Element 1 Widening of I-26 - I-26 currently transitions from six lanes to four lanes at milepost 198.4, just after Exit 199 (U.S. 17A). The proposed widening would extend 6-lane operations a distance of 3.94 miles to the Jedburg Road (Exit 194). The existing Sheep Island Road Bridge will be removed as part of the proposed project. Element 2 New I-26 Interchange - The proposed interchange with I-26 and Sheep Island Parkway would be located at milepost 197.7, which is 1.3 miles west of the I-26 / U.S. 17A Interchange and 3.3 miles east of the Jedburg Road Interchange. Element 3 Sheep Island Road Bridge Removal - The existing 2-lane Sheep Island Road Bridge is classified as functionally obsolete by SCDOT and FHWA standards. Constructed in 1961, it currently has both horizontal and vertical clearance deficiencies and approach safety features that do not meet today s standards. Element 4 Frontage Road Improvements - The proposed project will include construction of four new 2-lane frontage roads along the interstate. Frontage roads A and B will be located on the eastbound side of I-26, while frontage roads C and D will be located on the westbound side. Element 5 Sheep Island Parkway - Sheep Island Parkway will be a 4-lane, divided roadway in some areas, and a 5-lane facility in others. Element 6 Reconstruction of Jedburg Road Interchange - Exit 194 at Jedburg Road will not function adequately when all developments planned in the area are built. Consequently the interchange will be replaced.
