Transit Asset Management Performance Measures Adoption Sharon Gregory advised that the Mass Transportation Authority has established its Transit Asset Management Performance Measures Targets for 2018/2019 as required by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The Metropolitan Alliance can either adopt the MTA s targets or choose to set its own. Discussion ensued. At this time the Technical Advisory Committee is recommending the Metropolitan Alliance adopt the Mass Transportation Authority s 2018/2019 Transit Asset Management Performance Measures and approve the Chairperson to sign the Resolution of Support. Motion: Action: Approve, Moved by Robert Widigan, Supported by Robert Plumb, to adopt the Flint Mass Transportation Authority s 2018/2019 Transit Asset Management performance measures and to approve the Chairperson signing the Resolution of Support. Motion passed unanimously. IV A

8 ***C. Amending Performance Measure Language into the FY TIP Document Sharon Gregory stated that staff has been working with MDOT, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and other Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) around the state regarding FAST Act Performance Measures and the best methods for addressing them in our planning documents. MPOs must explain how project selection will be performance-based going forward and document this information in our Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Staff has drafted additional language for the project listing chapter and a revised Performance Measures chapter for the FY TIP to ensure it meets the performance measure requirements of the FAST Act. Ms. Gregory directed the committee member s attention to the draft chapters that were provided to them in their agenda packet for their review. At this time the Technical Advisory Committee is recommending approval to the Metropolitan Alliance to amend the FY Transportation Improvement Program document to incorporate the updated Performance Measures language. Motion: Action: Approve, Moved by Robert Widigan, Supported by Robert Plumb, to approve the adoption of this language into the FY TIP Document. Motion passed unanimously. D Local Traffic Count Program Sharon Gregory advised that it is that time of year when staff asks local units of government to update traffic count information on federal-aid eligible roads under their jurisdiction. Staff will be sending letters to each local road agency with a list of locations requiring traffic counts for GCMPC has traffic counters and accessory equipment available for rental by local agencies. Damon Fortney is the staff person in our office that can help with traffic counter rentals and set-up training or answer questions. Discussion ensued. E MDOT Road Projects MDOT was not available to do their presentation but will present the information at the next meeting. F Genesee County Road Commission Road Projects Alex Patsy, Programming & Development Engineer for the Genesee County Road Commission, presented a project update PowerPoint to the committee. Discussion ensued. The committee asked that Mr. Patsy s PowerPoint be ed to them. Staff ed the presentation to committee members in both PowerPoint and pdf formats on 4/19/18. IV A

9 ***G. FY 2018 Unified Work Program (UWP) Amendment #1 Sharon Gregory stated that staff is proposing to shift funding from the Update Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) work item by decreasing it $158,827, and increasing the TSM Activity Coordination work item by $97,740, increasing the Transportation Program Management work item by $18,326, and increasing the Prepare Transportation Improvement Program work item by $42,761. The LRTP is being developed with staff from all GCMPC divisions so the work is being charged as indirect costs to share developmental costs among the various funding sources. There is no change to the total funding for the UWP. At this time, the Technical Advisory Committee has provided a recommendation of approval for Amendment #1 to the UWP to the Genesee County Metropolitan Alliance. Motion: Action: Approve, Moved by Robert Widigan, Supported by David Cain, to approve Amendment #1 to the FY 2018 Unified Work Program (UWP). Motion passed unanimously. H. FY 2019 Unified Work Program (UWP) Sharon Gregory stated that the FY 2019 UWP identifies what staff will be working on and requested that committee members let Mr. Nordberg know if they have any ideas for the Unified Work Program. Ms. Gregory advised that some of the major work items will be the development of the Combined Plan (the plan that we are doing with the three divisions) and also the development of the Transportation Improvement Program. Coming up this fall, staff is going to start the Call for Projects for the FY TIP. Those two items will be the main focus. Staff will still be working on the trail program, and various other programs. Next month staff will bring the Unified Work Program to the committee for approval. I. Genesee: Our County, Our Future Public Involvement Sharon Gregory stated that Genesee: Our County, Our Future is the name of our new plan. Currently GCMPC has three (3) different plans. Now staff is working on one combined plan. Staff will be having three (3) public input sessions coming up next week. The first one will be in Fenton from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The second one will take place in Clio at the Senior Center from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and the third session will be in Flint at the Farmers Market from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The plan is to get public input for about a year and a half. Ms. Gregory stated that staff conducted about one hundred and thirty (130) face-to-face interviews. Staff will use that information to help guide our plan. There is a survey that staff is asking the public to complete. Postcards are available with the link to the survey on our website which is different from our GCMPC website. It is a map-based application, which means comments can be done right on the map. IV A

10 This is an effort to engage the public and get their comments on how to improve the community. The first Steering Committee meeting was held this past Monday. Everything will go from the Steering Committee to TAC and then to METRO, so this committee will be involved in the process. Advertising banners were placed inside sixteen buses. There is an incentive to the local units to get the people in their community to complete the survey. The community with the highest number of surveys completed will receive a $2,000 beautification grant for their community. David Cain thanked staff for coming out and doing the face-to-face interviews with the stakeholders. He stated that he would like to see it expanded and see more interviews done. Derek Bradshaw reminded the committee about the $2,000 beautification grant and emphasized how important it is to get the community involved in completing the survey. Derek Bradshaw stated that the Steering Committee is still looking for one or two more representatives from the Metropolitan Alliance to be part of the committee. Interested parties should contact the Chair. XII. XIII. Other Business There was no Other Business. Announcements Derek Bradshaw announced that the Regional Prosperity Initiative has a $1,000 grant out right now for local units of government that want to update their websites. There is a one-page application to fill out and return by the end of April. Chairperson Johnson thanked David Cain and Bill Bain for their help on the election. XIV. Adjournment Chairperson Johnson stated that the next meeting will be held on Wednesday, May 16, 2018 at 7:00 p.m. Chairperson Johnson adjourned the meeting at 8:18 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Debby Compton, Secretary Genesee County Metropolitan Planning Commission IV A

15 I. INTRODUCTION The Genesee County Metropolitan Alliance (Metro) is the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Flint/Genesee Metropolitan Area. The Genesee County Metropolitan Planning Commission (GCMPC) functions as staff to Metro. The transportation planning process is complex, involving several funding sources and many agencies at the federal, state, and local levels. For a more complete description of the planning process in Genesee County, please refer to the Flint-Genesee County Long Range Transportation Plan. Genesee County is situated in the southeastern portion of Michigan's Lower Peninsula, approximately 50 miles northwest of Detroit and northeast of Lansing. The county covers an area of approximately 415,360 acres (649 square miles). The 2010 census counts indicate a population of 425,790 persons for Genesee County, distributed among eleven cities, seventeen townships, and five villages. The City of Flint is the largest political jurisdiction in Genesee County, with a 2010 census count of 102,434 persons. It is the population and geographic center of the county. The major transportation elements in Genesee County include highway systems, local and interregional bus systems, railroad systems, air transportation systems; and pedestrian and bikeway systems. Part of the planning process in Genesee County involves a Public Participation Plan (PPP). The PPP that addresses transportation planning activities for Metro was developed in cooperation with GCMPC and is identified as the Genesee County Metropolitan Planning Commission Public Participation Plan. Work items and activities that address the issue of Environmental Justice are identified through the PPP and the Metro Unified Work Program (UWP). As this issue is addressed, changes will continue to be made to both documents based on internal and external evaluations of how effective our activities have been. The purpose of this Unified Work Program (UWP) is to describe, in a single document, all transportation planning activities for the upcoming year. The UWP also identifies funding sources, the agencies involved in these activities and an estimated timeline for completion of activities. C:\Users\nordbe1j\Desktop\Pre-UWP\uwp19DraftBlackText.doc 2

17 II. MAJOR TRANSPORTATION ISSUES/PRIORITIES The FY 2019 UWP has been formulated to address the major transportation issues and problems facing the Flint-Genesee County area. The identified issues establish the priorities for the UWP. Work activities are identified throughout the plan that address the identified issues/priorities. The amount of staff hours and funding will vary each fiscal year depending on the priority of the activity for the identified fiscal year. A. SYSTEM-WIDE ISSUES 1. Air Quality In November of 1990, the Clean Air Act Amendments were signed into law. These amendments substantially revise the federal-aid highway program in non-attainment areas (areas that are above the minimum threshold for a pollutant) due to its provisions for highway sanctions. The act requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to set, review, and revise the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) periodically. There are six NAAQS pollutants: ozone (O3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon monoxide (CO), lead (Pb), sulfur dioxide (SO2), particulate matter (PM). PM is subdivided into particulate sizes, less than 10 micrometer in diameter (PM10) and less than 2.5 micrometer in diameter (PM2.5). The sanctions can be imposed statewide if those areas that are in non-attainment do not make adequate revisions to change their status. On April 15, 2004, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designated Genesee County and Lapeer County as being in basic non-attainment and assigned a maximum attainment date of June This area was identified as the Flint Michigan Non-attainment Area. An Interagency Work Group (IAWG) was established to review federally funded transportation projects to ensure that new transportation projects will improve or at least not degrade current air quality levels. In 2007 the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) re-designated the Flint Non-attainment Area to attainment status. On May 16, 2007 the EPA provided notice in the Federal Register that the Flint Non-attainment Area was re-designated to be in attainment as a maintenance area. April 30, 2012 the EPA announced that Genesee County is in attainment. On April 6, 2015 the EPA completely revoked the 1997 ozone standard, so all requirements related to this standard were removed. Prior to the October 1, 2016 deadline the Michigan Department of C:\Users\nordbe1j\Desktop\Pre-UWP\uwp19DraftBlackText.doc 4

18 Environmental Quality (DEQ) submitted non-attainment boundary recommendations to the EPA (based on the most current three year period of data) and recommended that Genesee County remain in attainment. The EPA is in the process of reviewing air quality designations for Michigan communities. Work items related to air quality that were required while the area was designated as a nonattainment will continue to be addressed while in attainment to prepare for potential changes to air quality standards. 2. Energy Energy availability has a significant impact on the amount and mode of travel, as well as the overall economy of the area. Although energy supplies have remained relatively stable fluctuating costs in recent years have made energy much more of a concern. In the TSM Coordination activity, the status of energy availability will be monitored. 3. Transportation Revenue Always an issue in transportation is whether or not adequate funding will be available to meet the needs of both maintenance and expansion of transportation facilities and services in a community. On December 4, 2015, President Obama signed the Fixing America s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act (Pub. L. No ) into law the first federal law in over a decade to provide long-term funding certainty for surface transportation infrastructure planning and investment. The FAST Act authorizes $305 billion over fiscal years 2016 through 2020 for highway, highway and motor vehicle safety, public transportation, motor carrier safety, hazardous materials safety, rail, and research, technology, and statistics programs. The FAST Act maintains our focus on safety, keeps intact the established structure of the various highway-related programs, continues efforts to streamline project delivery and, for the first time, provides a dedicated source of federal dollars for freight projects. The FAST Act builds on and refines many of the highway, transit, bike, and pedestrian programs and policies established in 1991 with the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) legislation. ISTEA was replaced with Transportation Equity Act of the Twenty-first Century (TEA-21), the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, and Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) C:\Users\nordbe1j\Desktop\Pre-UWP\uwp19DraftBlackText.doc 5

19 and most recently Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21 st Century (MAP-21). The primary revenue sources for this legislation are the 18.4 cent per gallon tax on gasoline and a 24.4 cent per gallon tax on diesel fuel. Public Act 51 of 1951 is the state law that covers many transportation funding issues in the state. Act 51 has not changed much since its original approval however a series of laws enacted in November 2015 increased state funding for transportation. The Michigan House Fiscal Agency estimates that, starting in FY 2016, an additional $455 million will be raised, increasing each year until FY 2020, when it s expected that the increase will stabilize at an additional $1.2 billion per year. The current gross receipts to the Michigan Transportation Fund (MTF) are approximately $1.95 billion annually. Currently, state motor fuel taxes are set at 19 cents per gallon on gasoline and 15 cents per gallon on diesel. The state also levies a six percent sales tax on the wholesale and federal tax portion of each gallon of motor fuel. Virtually none of this sales tax revenue goes to transportation. Funding from motor fuel taxes and registration fees (but not the sales tax) is deposited in the MTF Through activities described in the UWP, including: TSM Coordination, Transit Planning, Pavement Management Program, Update Long Range Multi-Modal Plan, Transportation Program Management, and Prepare Transportation Improvement Program, any changes in federal or state transportation legislation will be evaluated. Coordination of both highway improvement projects and transit services will be undertaken. 4. Environmental Justice Federal Highways and Federal Transit have adopted a proactive goal of addressing social and neighborhood issues throughout the planning process. Genesee County continues to implement more outreach into our planning process and will implement the Public Participation Plan (PPP) as required by the MAP-21 legislation or any new federal transportation legislation. Staff has also identified several work items in the UWP to address this. These work items can be found primarily under the Program Management, although there are additional elements in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and in TSM and Transit Planning. Staff follows the PPP when working on the UWP, the LRTP, the TIP, and any specific studies such as corridor and trail plans. C:\Users\nordbe1j\Desktop\Pre-UWP\uwp19DraftBlackText.doc 6

20 5. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Genesee County has developed a county-wide ITS Architecture and is now working toward a coordinated approach to implementing various forms of ITS. Staff has worked with the Mass Transportation Authority to develop and implement a Transit ITS deployment plan built off of the county-wide ITS Architecture. The MTA is continuing to build their ITS which includes a central ITS monitoring center including a 900 megahertz transmitter and receiver, automated vehicle locator (AVL) systems installed in fleet vehicles, computers and software to monitor and report the status of vehicles along their routes, and a computerized scheduling system for Your Ride services. The MTA has offered the use of the ITS infrastructure to other road agencies in Genesee County. Road agencies have started to implement ITS technologies to help reduce congestion such as connecting and optimizing signals to improve traffic flow. The City of Flint, using recommendations from the Downtown Flint Parking and One-Way Street Study, conducted by staff and a consultant, has switched many of the downtown one-way streets to a two-way system and has upgraded traffic signal hardware allowing the system to be connected and optimized. The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has implemented an ITS system along I-69 to monitor traffic along the I- 69, I-75, and I-475 corridors. The system monitors traffic and provide information to travelers along the corridors such as current conditions and alternative routes. 6. Safety This is a system-wide issue affecting all modes of transportation. Genesee County agencies, while always integrating safety into the planning process, are now placing an emphasis on Safety Planning. Staff is doing this through several different avenues that include analyses of crash data for trends, a mix of fixes for problem areas, incorporating safety as a factor in TIP project selection, and more awareness of safety planning for local road agencies. Staff is working with local road agencies to implement a regional safety study of select Genesee County corridors completed in cooperation with the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and a consultant. For the FY 2019 MDOT Call for Safety Projects, it was stated that the focus of the program was to fund road segments with fatal and serious injury crashes. Staff put C:\Users\nordbe1j\Desktop\Pre-UWP\uwp19DraftBlackText.doc 7

21 B. MODAL ISSUES together a call for projects packet for local road agencies. The packet included information from the safety study and staff encouraged locals to select projects that addressed areas with fatal and/or serious injuries and/or sites that were included in the safety study. Staff met individually with local road agencies to discuss potential projects. Safety projects submitted to MDOT were prioritized locally using these factors. The study was also included as an element in the TIP call for projects. 1. Highways The Flint-Genesee County 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan was completed and approved in January It serves as the foundation for many of the transportation planning and improvement activities undertaken in the area. Genesee County's economy is still strongly tied to the success or failure of General Motors. Staff will continue to identify land use changes as part of the process to update the Long Range Transportation Plan. The 2040 LRTP document will be updated to include any new transportation legislation requirements including performance measures. During the highway construction boom, interest focused on longterm projects. As a result, maintenance of the existing road network has generally been neglected. Most of the pavements built during the highway construction boom have either exceeded or are nearing their 20-year life expectancy. Maintenance activities used generally do not improve the longevity of the roadway. This method was sufficient when dealing with a limited number of roads which would receive major rehabilitation on a scheduled basis. However, the method is no longer adequate or efficient to handle the number of roads in need of attention. Through activities described in the Pavement Management Program, a consistent evaluation process has been developed for the roads that qualify for federal aid in the county. This system assists in targeting necessary improvements and maintenance of the roads through continual monitoring of their surface conditions. PAVER was the pavement evaluation system used to evaluate the condition of the Genesee County Road network until In 2007 the PASER pavement evaluation system, after several years of evaluation, was selected as the system to be used for pavement C:\Users\nordbe1j\Desktop\Pre-UWP\uwp19DraftBlackText.doc 8

22 evaluation and in the criteria for TIP project selection. Staff will continue to keep historic PAVER information and will continue to update PASER data in the County s GIS system. Transportation legislation may require changes to the way pavement data is collected. Staff will continue to monitor this issue. 2. Transit Routes The Flint Mass Transportation Authority (MTA) provides over 5.6 million public transit trips annually through six types of service. The MTA currently operates primary routes, senior shopper service, Rides to Groceries, peak routes, regional routes, and paratransit service. There are fourteen primary routes. Thirteen (13) of the primary routes depart from the terminal located at the Inter-modal Transportation Center in downtown Flint. These routes radiate out into the City of Flint and selected locations in Genesee County. The primary fixed routes operate from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on thirty (30) minute intervals and on one (1) hour intervals until 9:30 p.m. Saturday service operates from 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. on one (1) hour intervals and on Sunday from 7:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on one (1) hour intervals. The peak routes provide commuter service during peak periods with selected stops, providing service to the general public, workers and student populations. These routes operate weekdays, morning and afternoon. The MTA also provides a demand response paratransit service known as "Your Ride". This service supplements fixed routes and serves those sectors of the public who cannot effectively use the regular fixed route services, due to disability or lack of access to a nearby fixed route. Within the City of Flint, eligibility is limited to persons who have mobility restrictions. Outside the fixed route area, any Genesee County resident can use the Your Ride service. The MTA has eleven (11) Your Ride Service Centers with locations in Burton, East Flint, West Flint, Grand Blanc, Fenton, Flushing, Mt. Morris, Swartz Creek, Clio, Otisville and Davison. Through a State of Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) Specialized Services grant program, the MTA provides various community agencies with funding assistance for those populations with specialized transportation needs, such as the elderly and C:\Users\nordbe1j\Desktop\Pre-UWP\uwp19DraftBlackText.doc 9

23 3. Air persons with disabilities. The availability of these specialized services makes daily activities possible for many elderly and disabled citizens in various communities throughout Genesee County. Regional Transportation was implemented in September Regional service routes originate at the MTA Customer Service Center at Harrison and Second Street in Downtown Flint and provide regular scheduled service to adjoining counties. Service is open to the general public but scheduled to meet the needs of Genesee County residents who need transportation to a work site outside of Genesee County. Regional routes are provided for five (5) counties surrounding Genesee County and some routes connect with suburban Detroit transit routes. This service is provided seven (7) days a week to meet the transportation needs of Genesee County residents. Through Transit Planning, staff will continue to address transit needs within Genesee County especially those related to Ladders of Opportunity. Bishop International Airport, dedicated in 1934, serves around 800,000 passengers each year through five (5) commercial airlines and handles more than 23 million pounds of cargo and freight annually. The airport, with a staff of approximately 60 full- and parttime employees, is managed by a nine-member authority appointed by the mayor of Flint and the Genesee County Board of Commissioners. Bishop International Airport finished the first phase of an intermodal expansion project that will capitalize on the Flint area's strategic location along national and international trade corridors. Bishop has direct access to interstates I-69 and I-75 as well as two major railroad systems and also connects to US-23. The first phase of the expansion cost approximately $37 million and was a combination of local and High Priority (HPP) funding. Bishop will continue to work on funding and implementing the remaining phases of the project. Staff will continue to monitor activities involving Bishop Airport through the TSM Coordination activity.

24 4. Rail Railroad grade crossings have been the major issues in rail transportation. Staff will continue to work with local road agencies to identify and evaluate railroad grade crossings in Genesee County. Grant and earmark funds have provided funding for many railroad improvements in the county and will continue to be pursued. Other important issues include the impact of federal cuts on local AMTRAK service and track improvements. Despite repeated attempts by various administrations to reduce or eliminate federal financial support, there is still a clear Congressional mandate to continue operating a national system of rail passenger service. The Flint AMTRAK terminal is located at the Dort Highway MTA Administration Building. 5. Non-motorized Staff will continue to integrate non motorized transportation into transportation planning in Genesee County. Through activities described in the Update Long-Range Transportation Plan, Transportation System Management, and the Transportation Improvement Program sections of the UWP, staff will address nonmotorized needs and assist local jurisdictions with non-motorized project requests. In 2006 and 2007 staff inventoried the Genesee County non-motorized transportation system, identified a series of potential connecters to create a regional non-motorized transportation system, and completed work on the Genesee County Regional Transportation Plan. Staff, through a local grant awarded to our office, contracted consultants to complete preliminary engineering on the top five priority trails from the plan and is working with local agencies to fund trail construction. Major sections of these top priority trails have been constructed or have received funding commitments since the plan was developed. The trail plan was updated in the 2014 fiscal year as part of the 2040 LRTP update. Staff will continue to work with local road agencies and trail groups to implement the plan. C. STATEWIDE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS Genesee County staff was involved in the development of the statewide planning process and uses this model to initiate changes throughout our county planning process. The implementation of the statewide planning process has created additional linkages as C:\Users\nordbe1j\Desktop\Pre-UWP\uwp19DraftBlackText.doc 11

25 well as strengthened existing ties with the state in all forms of transportation. As a result of the statewide planning process, staff has been implementing changes in the UWP. Staff will continue to make changes and improvements that are consistent with the statewide planning process in the FY 2019 work program. In the following work elements, staff has indicated how the UWP elements are related to elements in the statewide process. This highlights the coordination and shared data gathering inherent in the planning process. One area of key importance to staff is the opportunity for more coordination on a local, regional and state level. Better coordination through these work items will help to provide ladders of opportunity by working to address gaps in essential services related to transportation connectivity. Please note that GCMPC is identified in the Funding Sources and Funding Use by Agency tables on the following pages rather than Metro. This correctly identifies GCMPC as the entity that provides the match for federal funds and as the entity that is reimbursed for work performed for the identified work items. Additional details regarding funding, hours, and a generalized timeline for each work item can be found in Appendix B, C, D and E. IIIA. DATA MANAGEMENT: DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS Objective To collect and process land development, socioeconomic, and transportation data, which will be incorporated into an information management system.

PLANNING SUPPORT: PREPARE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (TIP) Purpose To efficiently prepare a multi-modal TIP outlining the projects being proposed, justification, type of improvement, priority rating, and respective costs through a transparent public process meeting the federal guidelines established for a TIP. In addition, this work element includes the maintenance of the TIP through amendments and administrative modifications as required. Changes to the TIP will also be made as a result of the interpretation and/or implementation of certain FAST Act C:\Users\nordbe1j\Desktop\Pre-UWP\uwp19DraftBlackText.doc 27

41 requirements by FHWA and/or MDOT or any new state or federal transportation legislation that may be put in place. Major Work Elements The FY TIP document was developed and approved in FY FY 2019 work items for the FY TIP will focus on maintenance of the TIP, which include working with TIP project agencies to monitor project status, preparation of status reports, preparation of amendments and administrative modifications to the TIP as requested by the TIP project agencies, air quality analysis related to TIP amendments as need/required, preparation and publication of an annual report as outlined in FAST Act, and public participation and documentation of public participation for the previously identified work items following the Public Participation Plan requirements. Changes will also be made to the TIP as a result of the interpretation and/or implementation of certain FAST Act requirements by FHWA and/or MDOT or any new state or federal transportation legislation that may be put in place. Specifically for the TIP this could include working with MDOT in the development of performance targets and/or activities resulting from new guidance released from FHWA or development of specific performance measures by MDOT. The integration of standardized General Program Accounts (GPA s) will help to streamline the TIP process including reducing the amount and frequency of amendments. Staff will continue to use and update the Excel based TIP spreadsheet as the official TIP listing of projects until JobNet is approved for use. Staff will continue to work with agencies statewide to make the TIP process more uniform statewide. The FY TIP will be developed during the 2019 fiscal year. FY TIP work items will include a call for projects, project site visits, project analysis, project selection, public participation, fiscal constraint demonstration, and the development of the TIP document. A major update for the TIP will be improved integration of performance measures and the development of a mechanism to evaluate and publish progress towards meeting performance measure targets. As freight issues and freight planning take on more significance at a national level MPO s have been asked to identify specific tasks in their UWP s to better identify freight planning activities. The following is a listing of activities that outline freight planning in regards to the development and maintenance of the TIP. C:\Users\nordbe1j\Desktop\Pre-UWP\uwp19DraftBlackText.doc 28

42 MPO staff will work closely with state and federal transportation partners to further integrate freight planning into the transportation planning process including the State Freight Plan. This includes monitoring funding opportunities for regional freight related projects. MPO staff will work closely with local officials and interests to inventory and monitor freight routes and intermodal facilities within the metropolitan area. MPO staff will work closely with local officials and stakeholders to monitor freight related issues within the metropolitan area. Improving the coordination between transit, non-motorized interests and road agencies during project development and selection through this work element will help to provide ladders of opportunity by working to address gaps in essential services related to transportation connectivity. Staff will continue to improve environmental justice, environmental consultation, and environmental mitigation methodology and documentation for the TIP. Products Products for this work item include amendments and administrative modifications to the FY TIP as necessary, an updated TIP database, TIP project status reports, and documentation of TIP public participation/outreach efforts. The FY TIP will be developed and approved in FY Staff will also publish, in accordance with the TIP notice requirements as identified in the PPP, an annual listing of projects that were obligated, let for bid, under construction and/or completed during the previous fiscal year no more than 90 calendar days following the end of the represented fiscal year.

64 Section 7: TIP Assurances, Procedures, and Policies 54

65 Project Selection and Prioritization Policy The following policy has been drafted to establish an objective method of selecting Federal Transportation projects on the basis of local priorities. The selection process shall be a natural progression of projects from the current Flint- Genesee County Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP), the Congestion Management Plan, the Transit Long Range Transportation Plan and the MDOT 5 Year Plan. The oversight of this process shall be through a Transportation System Management (TSM) task force. The designated task force shall be a subcommittee of the Technical Advisory Committee organized under Section 143 of Title 23. Local project selection shall be done on a point rating system as identified in the TIP application. In order to objectively evaluate the project proposals, they must contain the following information: 1. The scope of the project, including termini, where applicable 2. A description of work 3. A realistic estimate of costs 4. Match The project prioritization process shall be done by fiscal year and by funding category. These funding categories include the following: STU (Surface Transportation Urban (also includes Flex funding) eligible activities include; preserve, expand, improve, transit, safety, bridge, enhancement, and studies. NH (National Highway System) for projects located on the National Highway System STL (Surface Transportation Local) eligible activities include; preserve, expand, improve, transit, safety, bridge, enhancement, and studies in areas outside of the urban boundary. TAU Transportation Alternatives Program Non-motorized forms of transportation including sidewalks, bicycle infrastructure, pedestrian and bicycle signals Economic Development Category C (EDC) State expand projects Section 5307 urbanized transit program Section 5310 Transit Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Section 5311 Transit Formula Grants for Rural Areas Section 5339 Transit Bus and Bus Facilities Flex Funds FAST Act allows for the flexing of funds between highway and transit projects. If the MPO decides that it is in its best interest to shift dollars to either transit or highway interests, an application to flex funds will be submitted to FTA and FHWA for their approval prior to obligating these funds. CM/CMG Congestion Mitigation/Air Quality (CMAQ) Financial Constraint Projects to be included in the TIP shall be consistent with the Federal, State, and Local allocations or fund balance. Funds and funding sources must be reasonably available. Although projects may be moved between years within the TIP, the funding must remain in the year it was programmed. Implementation of projects from the TIP will be on a first-come, first-served basis within each funding source until obligational authority is expended. 55

66 Plan Preparation Guidelines It will be the policy of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) to direct all agencies submitting projects for consideration to include the items listed below as part of the Preserve, Safety and Expand applications, and that the associated costs be submitted in the application and considered in the evaluation. - Drainage structures (curb and gutter or shoulders and ditches), - Signs and markings, - Traffic signals, - Base improvements, - Guardrail, - Provision of adequate lateral clearance, - Safety Improvements - ADA Accessibility - Access Management - Any other items that are needed to complete a properly designed highway project Preliminary and Construction Engineering Guidelines Construction engineering costs up to 15% (of the construction cost) and preliminary engineering cost up to 10% (of the construction cost) will be allowed as part of the application for TIP projects, and are therefore eligible for federal funds. If preliminary and/or construction engineering is applied for, construction must be scheduled within the next three (3) years of the TIP. Applicants using federal funds for engineering services should be aware that potential Conflict of Interest issues could arise when obtaining engineering services. Please refer to MDOT for detailed guidelines on Conflict of Interest concerning engineering services. The request for either of these funds must be identified in the application, and can t have already taken place. The agency will not be reimbursed for work that has already taken place prior to the approval of the current TIP. All work must follow the MDOT Engineering Procurement Procedures. Project Construction Guidelines The project construction costs are pro-rata (not capped) at the funding levels as identified in the approved TIP for any projects using local federal funds (STU, Flex, STL, NH and EDC-State). Administrative Modification An administrative modification to the TIP will be defined as: 1. Change in the project year 2. Change in funding type 3. Change in the terminus less than ¼ mile (1,320 feet) 3. Cost of the project increases or decreases less than 25% An administrative modification does not require formal approval by TAC or GCMA. 56

67 Amendment Policy An amendment to the TIP will be defined as: 1. Project added or deleted 2. Change in the scope 3. Change in the terminus more than ¼ mile (1,320 feet) 4. Cost of the project increases or decreases by 25% or more An amendment to the TIP will be brought to the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and the Metropolitan Alliance. An amendment will require action by both TAC and GCMA following the requirements established in the Public Participation Plan (PPP). The MPO must approve the TIP and TIP amendments as being in compliance with the State Implementation Plan (SIP) and the Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) as stated in 40 CFR part 51 of the Transportation Conformity Air Quality Rule. Reprogramming Policy The following policy shall apply to reprogramming existing funds within the current TIP. A. If the project has not held a grade inspection by March 1 st of the assigned fiscal year, the funds will be recaptured and distributed to any project in the current TIP that has the ability to obligate the funds in the current fiscal year. B. If the project has not been obligated by MDOT by May 15 th of the assigned fiscal year, the funds will be recaptured and distributed to any project in the current TIP that has the ability to obligate the funds in the current fiscal year. C. If the federal funds being obligated are below the original estimate, the additional funds will be recaptured and distributed to any project in the current TIP that has the ability to obligate the funds in the current fiscal year. D. In the event additional funds become available, projects in the succeeding year will be eligible based on available funding and their ability to meet deadlines for obligation. E. Withdrawn or rescheduled TIP projects will be eligible for reinstatement after 2 years. F. All reprogramming recommendations shall be completed under the established process for amending the TIP. 57

68 Expand Projects U.C. ACT 231 OF 1987 As part of the ongoing transportation planning process in Genesee County, GCMPC staff developed a Congestion Management Process (CMP) in conjunction with MDOT, local jurisdictions and road agencies along with Mass Transportation Authority. The CMP identifies congested road segments and intersections in Genesee County. Road agencies seeking funding for road expansion must consult the CMP, which is integrated into the 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan, as all expand projects must be part of the CMP to be eligible for funding. In order to submit an expand application, a project for through capacity must qualify for urban congestion funding and meet the following criteria: a) If the segment of the roadway is two-lane, it must have an average daily traffic (ADT) count of at least 10,000 vehicles, or an ADT of 25,000 vehicles for a four lane segment of roadway as of July 1, b) The segment of roadway must have the functional classification above local road and/or rural minor collector. c) The road must be Federal Aid Eligible d) Improvements must be of a lasting nature (not maintenance improvements) e) Local road agencies that are seeking to make capacity improvements must provide documentation that Strategies #1 through #4 from the CMP toolbox have been used, and they must identify those results. If the LRA has exhausted all appropriate strategies for their corridor, then adding capacity may be considered as a final step. All reconstruction and expansion projects require non-motorized improvements where feasible. 58

69 Congestion Management Process (CMP) IMPLEMENTATION PLAN System Identification Genesee County Congestion Management Process Process Products Through a CMP literature review during the last LRTP update, it was found that most other MPOs use the federal-aid road network to define the CMP network. The CMP network was expanded from the select group of corridors used in the previous CMP to include the entire federal-aid road network. This network was used to evaluate congestion on a system-wide basis for the base year and horizon year of the Long Range Transportation Plan. In the future, staff may identify specific corridors within the network for further analysis. System Identification Develop Performance Measures Monitor & Evaluate Performance Strategy Identification Strategy Selection Project Implementation Policy, Planning, Project Selection Transportation Plan Transportation Improvement Program Performance Evaluation Develop Performance Measures GCMA uses Level of Service (LOS) as a performance measure for congestion in the CMP. The LOS is derived from volume to capacity ratios as illustrated in the following table. A grade of A through F is assigned to all roadways in the CMP network. Roadways assigned a LOS A demonstrate free-flow traffic while LOS F, being the worst rating, signifies a system failure where the roadway is completely shut down with congestion. The LOS on any given roadway in the CMP network was calculated through the use of the Genesee County Urban Travel Demand Model. Staff will continue the use of this performance measure to evaluate congestion on Genesee County roadways in future analysis. 59

70 Volume to Capacity Severity Ranges Volume to Capacity Severity Ranges Volume to Capacity Ratio Operating Conditions Severity Level of Service (LOS) 0 to to 0.99 Traffic at free to stable flow High density of traffic, but stable flow (Approaching Congestion) A-C D STABLE FLOW 1.00 to and greater Unstable flow lower speed some stops Forced or breakdown traffic flow many stops E F CONGESTED 60

71 Monitor and Evaluate Performance An inventory identifying the current performance of the roadway was built to begin to properly monitor the roadway performance within the CMP network. The LOS on any given roadway in the CMP network is calculated through the use of the Genesee County Urban Travel Demand Model. LOS grades of A, B, and C are considered congestion-free. An LOS grade of D is considered to be approaching congestion along a roadway. A roadway receiving an LOS grade of E or F is considered congested. Most of the efforts of the GCMA CMP are aimed at relieving congested segments (LOS E or F ), while some proactive efforts will be investigated to mitigate future congestion along those roadways approaching congestion (LOS D ). A Speed Study Performance Program was implemented in 2008 and concentrated on select roadways and corridors that are slated for improvement projects in the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) to help evaluate roadway performance. To build an adequate inventory of data, staff included a survey of select high-volume, congested corridors in Genesee County. To monitor the future performance on a system-wide basis, LOS grades will be re-determined during every Long Range Transportation Plan update. As a system-wide benchmark for the CMP, the GCMA will manage the network to operate at a LOS D or better. Strategy Identification The GCMA CMP includes 5 different strategy categories that could be used to manage congestion in Genesee County. The structure of the CMP toolbox has the strategies assembled for use in a top-down approach. This approach ensures that solutions that reduce or shift auto trips or improve roadway operations are evaluated before adding roadway capacity. Congestion Management solutions will include the implementation of Transportation System Management (TSM), Travel Demand Management (TDM), and Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) improvements. Staff used the toolbox to determine if the strategies presented in the proposed projects were indeed suitable to help manage congestion in Genesee County. 61

72 The FAST Act allows for the flexibility of funds to be shifted between highway and transit projects. If the MPO decides that it is in its best interest to shift dollars to either transit or highway interests, applications to transfer funds must be submitted to FTA for their approval prior to obligating these funds. The FTA must determine that all Americans with Disability Act (ADA) requirements are met by the local transit authority before transit funds can be flexed. Citizen input shall be obtained during the call for project period and through a public hearing process that shall be held prior to the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) finalizing the TIP. Initiation of projects shall be the responsibility of the appropriate implementing agency having jurisdiction of the facility. All projects to be funded with Federal Transportation funds must be in conformance with Section 8 of the Federal Transit Act and Section 134 and Section 135 of Title 23 United States Code. Implementation of projects from the TIP will be on a first-come, first-served basis within each funding source until the funds are exhausted. Projects to be included in the TIP shall be consistent with the Federal, State, and Local allocations or fund balance. Funds and funding sources must be reasonably available. Although projects may be moved between years within the TIP, the funding must remain in the year it was programmed. The MPO must approve the TIP and TIP amendments as being in compliance with the State Implementation Plan (SIP) and the CAAA less than 40 CFR parts 51 of the Transportation Conformity Air Quality Rule. Local projects that are withdrawn or rescheduled from the TIP by the local jurisdiction must receive MPO approval to avoid a two-year reinstatement restriction. In the event that project costs exceed those stated in the TIP, the following procedures will be taken by the MPO: 1. Money shall be taken from another uncommitted project of the local unit irrespective of fiscal year. There is also the option to do an Advance Construct project using future funds awarded to that local unit. The project losing funding may need to be revised to accommodate new funding levels. If the project can t be revised due to the updated funding levels, the project will need to be withdrawn and reinstated after two years. 2. If the local jurisdiction has no other project in that year from which to draw funds, money can be taken from the project with the lowest TIP score (which is not committed to contract). The project losing funding will be moved to the succeeding year's TIP. 3. If cost overruns occur on the final eligible project, the project will be moved to the succeeding TIP year. If funding remains, the succeeding year s projects will then be available based on remaining funding. In the event additional funds become available, the current year's projects will have priority. 62

73 Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Program Local Funding Priorities The Federal CMAQ Program was created to provide a link between TEA-21, now FAST, and the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA). The primary purpose of the CMAQ program is to fund projects and programs in non-attainment areas that reduce transportation related emissions and contribute to attainment of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Individual projects must show emission reductions in order to be eligible for CMAQ Program funds. CMAQ Program funds may not be used as replacement funding for transportation activities that would normally be undertaken. The Genesee County Metropolitan Alliance (GCMA) is given the authority by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) to allocate the local portion of Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) program approximately $1.6 million dollars in funding for projects that reduce congestion and provide benefits to air quality. The following scoring system is recommended for awarding CMAQ funds to local projects in Genesee County. Fiscal Year (FY) CMAQ Funding Priorities Projects must be from eligible local road agencies, transit agencies, and planning agencies for FY CMAQ Program Projects must meet all existing criteria for eligibility determination Small variations on the targets (+/- 5%) may be needed to balance out the total CMAQ funds for the entire non-attainment area Lapeer County and MDOT funds are chosen separately from this process. This process applies to Genesee County local projects only Projects will be scored against one another in each specific funding category as follows: Category 1--Intersection Improvements Corridor improvements can be funded at up to 100% federal funds; 0% local match. Single intersection projects will be funded at 80% federal funds, 20% local match. Roundabouts are funded at 100% federal funds; 0% local match. Intersection improvements can account for up to 40% of the total project funding available for local Genesee County CMAQ projects when combined with all four years of funding or as one individual year s worth of projects Estimated funding for FY 2017 is $641,556 or $2,566,224 for FY If the corridor involves signal timing of MDOT intersections, it is recommended to request a partnership project with MDOT participation from the MDOT available CMAQ funds Priority will also be given to corridors that have not received CMAQ funding in the past or need additional funding in order to complete a previously awarded CMAQ project 63

74 Category 2--Transit Projects Funded at 80% federal funds; 20% local match Transit projects can account for up to 40% of the total project funding available for local Genesee County CMAQ projects when combined with all four years of funding or as one individual year s worth of projects Estimated funding for FY 2017 is $641,556 or $2,566,224 for FY Projects for low emission vehicles and diesel retrofits will be given priority Category 3--Non-Motorized Transportation Projects Funded at 80% federal funds; 20% local match Non-motorized transportation projects can account for up to 13% of the total project funding available for local Genesee County CMAQ projects when combined with all four years of funding or as one individual year s worth of projects Estimated funding for FY 2017 is $208,506 or $834,024 for FY Projects that do not require right-of-way acquisition will be given priority, as will projects being constructed in conjunction with a road project, and projects connecting to an existing non-motorized facility Project can include bike lanes and 10-foot non-motorized paths Project must provide a transportation benefit, not for recreational purposes only Scoring Criteria (100 points total) A. 80 points - VOC ranking best air quality benefit project receives most points (Top VOC ranking receives 80 points, second project receives 75 points, third VOC ranking project, receives 70 points, and so on in 5 point intervals B. 10 points - constructed in conjunction with a road project C. 10 points - projects connecting to an existing non-motorized facility D. Projects that require right-of-way acquisition will automatically move to the bottom of the prioritized list Category 4--Ridesharing, Vanpooling and Carpooling Programs Funded at 100% federal funds; 0% local match Ridesharing, vanpooling, and carpooling programs can account for up to 7% of the total project funding available for local Genesee County CMAQ projects when combined with all four years of funding or as one individual year s worth of projects Estimated funding for FY 2017 is $112,271 or $449,084 for FY Must be an area-wide program Category Percentage of Funding Estimated Funding for FY 2017 Estimated Funding FY Intersection Improvements 40% $641,556 $2,566,224 Transit 40% $641,556 $2,566,224 Non Motorized 13% $208,506 $834,024 Rideshare, Vanpooling, Carpooling 7% $112,271 $449, % $1,603,889 $6,415,556 64
