Public Comment Opportunity Chair Christian asked for public comments. No comments were put forth. No MOTION 4. Revised TAP Application Evaluation Criteria Mr. Farnsworth presented the revised TAP Application Criteria. Previous criteria weighted trails and sidewalks at a skewed advantage if they had even a small portion in poor or fair condition. The Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee met in June and prepared an alternative method for weighing trails in the evaluation process. This alternative plan would include a percentage to indicate how much of the trail is in poor or fair condition. Points would be calculated from the percentage given. The Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee also suggested that the Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee evaluate trails and sidewalks, as opposed to a sole member of Metro COG staff. Motion: Recommend Policy Board approval of the revised TAP evaluation criteria and evaluation of TAP applications performed by Bicycle & Pedestrian Committee rather than Metro COG staff. Mr. Atkins moved, seconded by Mr. Weil.

MOTION, PASSED Motion carried unanimously Draft Metro COG Transportation Improvement Program Mr. Maddox presented the Draft Metro COG Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The TIP is a federally mandated requirement and core responsibility of a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). It provides an organizational structure to address the major transportation issues facing the metropolitan area. It is produced annually as a staged, fiscally constrained capital improvements document. It is comprised of four elements representing a program of projects and services for fiscal years 2016 through All transportation projects in the region funded through MAP 21 and subsequent federal legislation are required to be included in the TIP, as are projects that demonstrate regional significance (as defined by the Metro COG Policy Board). All projects programmed in the TIP have been identified in, and are drawn from, the Metro COG Long Range Transportation Plan. Metro COG has received the final Minnesota Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and the draft North Dakota STIP. Projects for the TIP include projects from both states STIPs. Chair Christian asked if the draft TIP includes all state projects and illustrative projects. Mr. Maddox stated that it does. Mr. Benson stated Cass County has one project slated for three years down the road that has been moved forward to Cass County has a budget hearing soon and will send the updated project list to Mr. Maddox after that. Mr. Maddox stated that Metro COG has a 30 day comment period. The draft TIP will be presented to both the TTC and Policy Board in August 2015 and the final will be presented in September A public meeting will be held as part of the TTC meeting on September 10, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. Ms. Van Beek stated all of the mobility manager projects for Transit Minnesota need to be removed from the draft as they will be covered by a paratransit grant from the state. Mr. Maddox stated he will remove them. A public input meeting will also be held on August 26 from 4pm 6pm in the Fargo Library Community Room to solicit public comment on the Draft TIP. Motion: To recommend Policy Board approval of the Draft Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for the Metropolitan Area as shown in Attachment 5a, 452 nd Meeting of the FM Metro COG Transportation Technical Committee page 3 Thursday, August 13, 2015

5 with subsequent submittal to the North Dakota and Minnesota Departments of Transportation for inclusion in their respective Statewide Transportation Improvement Programs (STIP). Mr. Benson moved, seconded by Ms. Leshovsky. MOTION, PASSED Motion carried unanimously. 7. Amendment to the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) Chair Christian presented the amendment to the UPWP. The UPWP is the only document that the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) approve. Additional modification in the form and content has also been incorporated into the proposed amendment to reflect content usually contained in UPWPs. Major additions to the 2016 element of the UPWP include: 105. Public Participation Plan (PPP) Update and Maintenance Updated Metro COG Public Participation Plan. PPP Update to be done in house by Metro COG staff Congestion Management Process (CMP) Development of a Congestion Management Process for the FM Metro area. CMP will be developed in house by Metro COG staff Transportation Safety Planning Establish a Regional Safety Committee and develop a Regional Transportation Safety Plan for the FM Metro area. Safety Plan will be developed inhouse by Metro COG staff Transportation Funding Analysis Identify transportation funds available to the FM metro area and provide an annual Funding Availability Report Regional Freight Plan Establish a Regional Freight Committee and develop a Regional Freight Plan. Plan development will be by a consultant West Fargo Comprehensive Plan Update Metro COG will work with the City of West Fargo to solicit and hire a consultant to develop an Updated West Fargo Comprehensive Plan. The Plan will be developed by a consultant Rail Corridor Consolidation and Feasibility Analysis Metro COG will, through a consultant selected through a competitive selection process, develop a regional railroad master plan for the Metro COG region Civil Rights / Title VI Staff will review, update and maintain the Metro COG Title VI and Limited English Proficiency Plans, as well as produce an annual report of Title VI activities in the Metro COG region. Mr. Thurlow asked how having a regional freight plan would impact the movement of freight. Chair Christian responded it would help the transportation plan account for the flow of freight. It will also identify the first and last mile efforts in the region and how to identify major shippers and routes through the area, as well as other items. Mr. Thurlow was concerned that by calling it a freight plan, it implies that Metro COG will plan for the movement of freight. Chair Christian stated the name could be changed. 452 nd Meeting of the FM Metro COG Transportation Technical Committee page 4 Thursday, August 13, 2015

6 Mr. Thurlow was also concerned that item 613 would be an inadequate use money and time, as BNSF may not use any of the study in future railway planning. Mr. Thurlow stated that the previous railway study was not utilized by the jurisdictions. Chair Christian stated the last plan was done in 2004 and most of the recommendations of that plan have been accomplished or debated. The scope of the new plan is still being developed. Chair Christian was aware that BNSF does not need to respond to the study, but it may make them more aware of current issues. Mr. Weil asked if there any particular items the Policy Board wanted Metro COG to look into with the rail studies. Chair Christian stated it was more to look at overall rail safety. Mr. Atkins stated that the bottom line is that the jurisdictions would have to pay to relocate rail, and therefore it would not be feasible. Chair Christian stated recommendations for consolidations and closings could come from such a project. Mr. Weil asked what kind of local match would go into a study such as this. Chair Christian stated in most scenarios, it would be 80 percent federal funds and 20 percent local funds. Mr. Thurlow asked for an estimation of the cost for the project. Chair Christian stated it would be $160,000 for the project. Mr. Thurlow stated he was not specifically concerned regarding the funds, but he did not want to see money spent for the sake of spending if it would be on a project that would not achieve anything. Chair Christian agreed that doing a study just to do it is never a benefit to anyone. As the scope becomes more defined, the purpose of the study will become clear. Chair Christian was looking for a recommendation to the Policy Board on the draft UPWP, which can include additional discussion on the railroad study. Mr. Kline stated the railroad issues that could be scoped on a detailed level. A project such as this could make suggestions for ways to alter and fix current problems and it could identify multiple issues that are undefined at a regional level. Mr. Atkins stated Moorhead is hoping to get funding from the state for grade separation. Motion: Forward to the Metro COG Policy Board a favorable recommendation to approve the proposed amendments to the Unified Planning Work Program, with additional discussion on the rail studies. Mr. Thurlow moved, seconded by Mr. Atkins. MOTION, PASSED Motion carried unanimously. 8. Minnesota Department of Transportation Federal Functional Classification Map Update Mr. Burns presented the update for the Functional Classification Map. Metro COG and the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) have been working cooperatively to update the Federal Functional Classification (FFC) network for Clay County in Minnesota. This system is critical in helping to define the role a particular roadway may play in moving vehicles throughout the transportation network. In addition, the FFC system is used to determine which facilities are eligible for funding under the Federal aid program. 452 nd Meeting of the FM Metro COG Transportation Technical Committee page 5 Thursday, August 13, 2015

7 Mr. Burns stated the biggest change was Highway 75 changed from a principal arterial to a minor arterial. Also, MnDOT included two categories for collectors: major and minor. Chair Christian stated Clay County Engineering was intending to contact MnDOT. Mr. Burns stated Ms. Retzlaff of MnDOT had not heard anything from Clay County. Motion: Metro COG requests a favorable recommendation to the Policy Board for approval of the final Minnesota Department of Transportation Federal Functional Classification network for Clay County, Minnesota and the City of Moorhead, Minnesota. Mr. Thurlow moved, seconded by Mr. Atkins. MOTION, PASSED Motion carried unanimously. 9. Draft West Fargo Comprehensive Plan Scope of Services Chair Christian presented the draft Scope of Services. The City of West Fargo requested a Comprehensive Plan be added to the 2016 UPWP and West Fargo officials developed a Scope of Services. Chair Christian noticed there have been a lot of amendments to previous contracts due to changing the scope or additional work has been completed by the consultant. He stated that he would like to minimize the amendments on the original scopes of service in the future. To help with this effort, Chair Christian stated that all scopes of services will be presented to the TTC for considerations and recommendations. Mr. Weil stated West Fargo has seen phenomenal growth over the last decade. The City of West Fargo is looking forward at street systems and infrastructure to stay ahead of growth. Chair Christian stated the RFP will be advertised in September or October with the intent that the project will begin in January. Mr. Zander asked what some of the required public input methods are and stated West Fargo left it open ended for the consultant to develop. Chair Christian stated that all consultants must have a battery of public input techniques that they can use to bring the public to the table. Mr. Zander stated that West Fargo also discussed Metro COG annual dues. He was concerned that the project may bring to light certain problems that may require more work from the consultant and he was not sure how to indicate that in the scope of service. Chair Christian stated that he has seen language in contracts to indicate that changes may happen. Ms. Leshovsky asked if West Fargo utilized growth area plans. Mr. Weil stated not particularly. Ms. Leshovsky stated the last time Moorhead did a comprehensive plan, they used growth area plans and she found it useful. Mr. Weil stated West Fargo develops land use plans that may be of use to the scope of service. No MOTION 10. Draft Hawley Comprehensive Plan Update Mr. Altenburg presented an update to the draft Hawley Comprehensive Plan. The Plan has had Study Review Committees (SRC), Focus Group meetings and one public involvement meeting. It has addressed land use plans, sidewalk plans, goals, objectives and policies. 452 nd Meeting of the FM Metro COG Transportation Technical Committee page 6 Thursday, August 13, 2015

8 Mr. Altenburg stated the project is on track with deliverables throughout the project. A second public involvement meeting will be held in September and a final draft is anticipated by mid October. Hawley expects to adopt the plan, as well as a standalone Sidewalk/Multimodal Improvement Program in November or December. No MOTION 11. Update on Southwest Metro Transportation Plan Ms. Gray of SRF Consulting presented the SW Metro Transportation Plan update. The purpose of the project is to identify future roadway systems, plan for and prioritize future projects, study complex and costly options, and identify the impact of not pursuing the connections studied. Ms. Gray outlined study areas, growth projections, and land use plans. She stated SRF looked at different outcomes depending on how Horace will grow through SRF also used the 2040 population numbers for West Fargo to estimate traffic flow, as it is growing faster than the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) had originally estimated. Ms. Gray further described the steps SRF has made, the information collected, the best fit scenarios for 2020, 2030, 2040, and with cost estimates, and what they plan to do to finish the project. Ms. Gray stated the next steps include laying out the jurisdictional responsibilities, preparing for right of way and corridor preservation, access management, and preparation of the draft report. Mr. Weil queried regarding the development of Horace and how Horace is preparing for it. Ms. Gray stated Horace is looking at sewer development, if Fargo can provide sanitary service, or if Horace can expand waste water lagoons. Ms. Gray stated Horace cannot approve any new subdivisions until the sewer/septic systems are improved or built. Ms. Gray further informed the TTC that SRF ran workshops with city leaders in Horace. Mr. Benson stated it was eye opening for city leaders in Horace, as Horace had not updated its land use map. Horace is learning what it needs to be prepared for in the future with the build out of Fargo and West Fargo. Mr. Weil asked how the East/West corridors worked with the Sheyenne Diversion. Mr. Benson stated that a recent study indicated that there would only be crossings at 40 th Avenue, 76 th Avenue, and 100 th Avenue. Mr. Benson and Mr. Weil felt West Fargo and Cass County should further discuss these issues with the Diversion Authority. No MOTION 12. Food Commission Update Mr. Altenburg presented an update regarding the Food Commission. This commission is made up of 11 members, including six elected and five at large members. The Commission first met in March 2015, and has been meeting bi monthly. The first two meetings were informational. The Commission has developed blueprints for urban agriculture, including urban bee keeping and urban growing, which are allotment gardens to be purchased or rented each year. The Commission is working to have more allotment gardens around the area. 452 nd Meeting of the FM Metro COG Transportation Technical Committee page 7 Thursday, August 13, 2015

9 No MOTION 13. Jurisdictional Roundtable Discussion Mr. Atkins stated the City of Moorhead is going to run the signal system as one combined system. Mr. Benson stated Cass County is processing its preliminary budget. One of the key factors of this discussion is the reconstruction of County Road 17 will be performed in 2016 rather than He also stated 12 th Avenue North will have construction in Chair Christian asked if the 12 th Avenue construction is still using roundabouts. Mr. Benson replied that 9 th Street will remain, but not County Road 17. Mr. Weil stated the 32 nd Avenue and Main Avenue projects are on track.

61 ATAC Quality Assurance/Quality Control for MPO Travel Demand Models ATACs goal for its travel demand modeling (TDM) program is to provide the best reliable travel forecasts to its stakeholders using state-of-the-art practices and available data. All input assumptions, methodologies, and processes used in the models will be validated against ground truths and the state-of-the-art in modeling practices; model forecast outputs will be checked for consistencies and reasonableness; and model outputs, limitations, and outliers will be communicated to all stakeholders through technical memorandums and through the provision of output files in formats specified by MPOs and other stakeholders. To achieve this goal and to enhance the confidence, credibility and to provide reasonable and reliable forecasts, the following Quality Assurance (QA)/Quality Control (QC) checklist and procedures will be applied to all TDM projects ATAC develops for its stakeholders. The QA/QC checklist is not all-inclusive and is a minimum guideline that ATAC will use to assure TDM model outputs are reliable and consistent. This QA/QC will be amended for specific projects or scenarios if the need arises. The QA/QC document is divided into three main parts which are critical in providing reliable, reasonable and consistent TDM forecasts. These include: model parameters, model data, and model output. 1. TDM Model Input Parameters/Model Assumptions TDM Model input parameters are the mathematical relations that are applied to input data to generate a desirable output e.g. trip generation rates, BPR curves, gravity model equation etc. To ensure ATAC uses the most up-to-date input parameters, the following procedures will be applied: i. ATAC will use locally generated input parameters where available ii. ATAC will compare model parameters with previous studies, parameters from studies from similar geographic/socioeconomic areas, and from credible national data from sources such as FHWA and ITE iii. ATAC will document any new assumptions that are project specific and communicate them to stakeholders for approval iv. ATAC will document all model parameters, differences from previous studies, limitations, and communicate this information to its stakeholders for review v. ATAC will propose local data collection efforts that will improve on TDM forecasts vi. ATAC will have a minimum of two staff review all model scripts for accuracy. In addition, ATAC will provide the model to consultants or other peer reviewers to check for scripting accuracy upon proposal by the MPOs. The individual model review proposal will contain an optional task and budget for peer reviews requested by the respective MPO MPO Master Agreement Page 15 of 18

62 2. TDM Model Input Data Model input data are a critical part in TDM forecasts and any errors in the input will be propagated in the output resulting in unreliable forecasts. Two main model data are used in all TDM - network and socioeconomic data. In addition, data that is used for validating and calibrating TDM models are crucial in providing credible forecasts. ATAC will implement the following procedures to ensure model input data are accurate: i. Network Data a. ATAC will have a minimum of two staff formally review all network changes b. ATAC will use the aid of all additional data e.g. most recent aerial photos, on-line maps, DOT/MPO information, and approved network improvement to formally review all network changes c. ATAC will conduct a random review of several links on the network with well-known and documented network attributes to guarantee accuracy d. ATAC will implement an automated process in the TDM software that will check for differences between network changes and a baseline network e. ATAC will provide updated networks to stakeholders for review and comments before models are run f. ATAC will communicate with stakeholders and document the different network scenario assumptions that need to be integrated into the baseline (base year or future year) g. ATAC will communicate with stakeholders periodically and provide them with the most up-to-date networks ii. Socioeconomic Data a. ATAC will have a minimum of two staff members verify socioeconomic data changes b. ATAC will compare and communicate to stakeholders all socioeconomic data differences between current and baseline/ previous model c. ATAC will check any changes in TAZ structure to ensure it meets preset guidelines and communicate this information to stakeholders iii. Data Used for Calibration/Validation a. ATAC will have a minimum of two staff verify ADT counts on the networks b. ATAC will do a random comparison of at least 20 different ADT count locations and compare with previous ADTs for consistency c. ATAC will have a minimum of two staff verify all other calibration and validation data including VMT, VHT, screen line counts, and trip length distributions d. ATAC will provide all input data used for calibration and validation to stakeholders MPO Master Agreement Page 16 of 18

63 3. TDM Model Outputs and Documentation Model output is the final and most important piece in TDMs since it is used by stakeholders to make the decisions that necessitate the creation and development of TDMs. To ensure that each model output is consistent and reliable, ATAC will implement the following QA/QC procedures. i. All base year model output developed by ATAC will be validated against preset criteria based on national and local guidelines or project specific guidelines ii. A minimum of two staff will check all model output for inconsistencies and outliers and compare each scenario with baseline scenarios, document the model output differences and provide this information to stakeholders iii. ATAC will provide model output in formats preset by stakeholder for each project iv. ATAC will provide a written technical memorandum for each project detailing the model input, model output, parameter changes, comparison to baseline output, any outliers, explanation for these outliers and steps taken to address them v. Technical Memorandum will be reviewed by ATAC for technical accuracy and content by a minimum of two ATAC staff vi. All input data, correspondences between ATAC and stakeholders, data logs, and technical memorandum will be maintained and documented in a separate project database for each project MPO Master Agreement Page 17 of 18

64 ATAC Quality Assurance/Quality Control for ITS Architecture ATAC assisted the ND MPOs in creating their original Regional ITS Architectures (RA) in Further, the RAs have been updated based on recommendation from FHWA and request from the MPOs via addenda to the Master Agreement. In order to increase confidence in the accuracy and the validity of each RA, ATAC follow a Quality Assurance (QA)/Quality Control (QC) process that falls under two parts: methodology, and data checking. 1. RA Development Methodology ATAC will continue to follow a methodology that consists of maintaining a knowledge base of the latest ITS and architecture changes between updates, and promoting stakeholder engagement and review during updates. Specifically, the following procedure will be applied: i. ATAC will monitor development on the National ITS Architecture, which is the source for RA development, and ensure the RAs compliance with the national architecture; ii. ATAC will monitor development on the Turbo Architecture software (Turbo) and ensure that each RA update uses the most up-to-date version of Turbo; iii. ATAC will continue to engage the FHWA ND Division s ITS Engineer in RA development to ensure compliance with the latest FHWA guidelines; iv. ATAC will continue to follow an iterative approach to RA development. The approach relies on continuous feedback from the stakeholders, and refinements on the RA by ATAC which are again presented for stakeholders review until consensus is reached; 2. RA Data Check and Report Generation ATAC will continue to follow a process that reviews the accuracy of data entered into the Turbo database and the outputs generated using Turbo to ensure it reflects the regional needs. Specifically, the following procedure will be applied: i. ATAC will have a minimum of two staff review and verify the inventory of elements and their correspondence to stakeholders; ii. ATAC will have a minimum of two staff review and verify interfaces and information flows for each service package in the RA; iii. ATAC will have a minimum of two staff review and verify the status (existing, planned, or not planned) of each element, flow, and service package in the RA; iv. ATAC will have a minimum or two staff review and verify the output generated through Turbo including all diagrams, tables, and reports; v. ATAC will conduct an internal review of all RA report documentation before providing drafts to the MPOs for review MPO Master Agreement Page 18 of 18

65 Attachment 5 Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan Council of Governments FAX Case Plaza Suite 232 One 2nd Street North Fargo, North Dakota metrocog@fmmetrocog.org To: Transportation Technical Committee From: David Burns, Metro COG Date: September 2, 2015 Re: Draft Cass County Federal Functional Classification Update As required by Federal law, Metro COG staff has been developing an updated Federal Functional Classification (FFC) network for Cass County, North Dakota. This effort compliments similar work done for Clay County, Minnesota that was approved in August of 2015 by the Metro COG Policy Board. While there have been periodic updates to individual facilities, a comprehensive update to the Cass County network has not been completed since As such, and due in large part to the substantial growth in areas of the county, many roadways on the network need to be revised in order to ensure Metro COG and jurisdictions within Cass County are able to identify those facilities most critical to the efficient movement of traffic in the area. Many local jurisdictions have and use local classification systems that meet the specifications of local code or requirements. The FFC is a separate system that is developed with criteria created by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The FFC is crucial in helping to define the role of roadways along the transportation network and is used to determine which facilities are eligible for funding under the Federal-aid program. Attachments 5-A and 5-B are the draft FFC network maps for Cass County and the Fargo metropolitan area, respectively, and Attachment 5-C contains a table listing the alterations to the system, the mileage affected, and the reason for the adjustment. The draft network was developed using guidance from the FHWA as well as the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) and used multiple data sources including traffic count data, roadway attribute data, and the most up-to-date aerial photography in order to properly classify each roadway. Data that was created as part of Metro COG s Southwest Metropolitan Transportation Plan was also used in the rapidly-changing area south of the current urbanized area. Metro COG staff requests that TTC representatives carefully review the draft FFC network maps and distribute to relevant staff within their organizations. Please submit all requests for additions, deletions, or changes to the draft FFC to Metro COG staff prior to September 30, A GIS shapefile of the draft FFC system is available upon request.
