1 2014 TRAC Funding Application TRAC is responsible for committing development and construction funding towards projects that meet the criteria the of Major New Capacity Program. TRAC Policy defines Major New Capacity as projects that: Cost ODOT greater than $12 million dollars Increase roadway capacity or reduce congestion. As part of the 2014 application cycle TRAC will accept project funding applications that meet one of the following eligibility criteria: 1.) The project is an existing TRAC project (Tier I, II or III) seeking additional funds to advance the project to the next stage of development. 2.) A new project, which has not previously applied for TRAC funding, demonstrating significant impact to jobs in Ohio and statewide/regional economic impact or have significant local funding commitments.

3 Transportation factors (55 points) includes the analysis of congestion, safety data, truck traffic as well as model derived transportation values such as cost/benefit analysis and air quality. To ensure the project is receiving comprehensive evaluation roadway segments and location data must be included. Applicants must identify the primary roadway segment that will be improved by the project. Your selections indicate this is an exiting TRAC Project. Existing TRAC projects are not required to re-submit project segment information. The information submitted in your most recent application will be used in evaluation and scoring of the application.

TRAC will evaluate the number of estimated jobs created and gross state product created by the modeled transportation efficiencies form ODOT's Statewide Transportation Model. Economic Distress - Poverty & Unemployment Rates ODOT will use gather county-level unit of analysis as a standard measure poverty and unemployment factors; however, if a project sponsor provides a defensible data a sub-county or census tract level, the TRAC will consider that level of geographic analysis for scoring and evaluation, as its discretion. Do you want to enter values for a sub-county area to be used in the evaluation of this application? Yes - I want to include a specific sub-county area for this analysis No - I want to use the information collected by ODOT for this analysis County Cuyahoga Sub-County Poverty Rate (5 year Average) 31.34% Poverty Rate Data Sources American Fact Finder Year Values (Bedford Heights, Cleveland, Garfield Heights, Maple Heights, North Randall & Warrensville Heights) Sub-County Unemployment Rate (5 year Average) 18.51%

6 Unemployment Rate Data Sources American Fact Finder Year Values (Bedford Heights, Cleveland, Garfield Heights, Maple Heights, North Randall & Warrensville Heights) Local Investment Factors (15 Points) includes the analysis and evaluation of the dollar value of existing, local built-out attributes such as streets, water, sewer and land use. Local investment factors also includes consideration of the monetized value of public investments or commitments for new, non-project infrastructure and private investments. For this analysis TRAC has standardized the project area as a one-mile rectangular buffer around the primary roadway segment for the project. Applicants will need to calculate the total estimated project area in acres using the following formula: (Length of the project in miles + 2 miles) x 2 Miles x 640 Acres Total Length of Primary Segment (miles) 1.8 Total Estimated Project Area (acres) 4864 Built Out Local Attributes What is the estimated percentage of acres being served by the local services within the calculated project area?

20 Kubek, Michael From: Grace Gallucci Sent: Wednesday, May 28, :10 PM To: Kubek, Michael Cc: Randy Lane; Pakush, Myron Subject: RE: ODOT District 12 TRAC Applications Mr. Kubek, We received your request for acknowledgement of ODOT District 12 s 2014 project applications to the Transportation Review Advisory Council (TRAC). This correspondence serves as an acknowledgement that the projects below are consistent with NOACA s long-range transportation planning efforts and will serve to address safety issues, as well as preserving the access of these critical corridors, thus enhancing economic competitiveness and the mobility needs of Northeast Ohio. Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact me or Randy Lane at (216) , ext. 300, or by at rlane@mpo.noaca.org. Considering the massive infrastructure needs in our region, we look forward to the opportunity to maximize TRAC program dollars toward achieving a safe, efficient, and well maintained transportation system. Thank you. CUY Innerbelt Construction Contract Group 6A (CCG6A, PID 13567): the project includes bridge replacement and widening on Interstate 77 (I-77) over I-490 as part of the overall Cleveland Innerbelt Plan. It is currently a Tier 1 TRAC project with detail design funds in Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 and construction funding in FY2024. The District is requesting to advance construction into FY 2017 to take full advantage of the benefits from the construction of CCG6B, Broadway/Pershing over I-77, expected in CUY-77/ /16.33, Innerbelt CCG3 (PID 82380): the project includes the improvements to the Central Interchange on I-90 between East 9 th street and East 22 nd Street, and along I-77 north of the Kingsbury Run Bridge. It is currently a Tier 1 TRAC project with detail design funds in FY2014 and partial construction in FY2025. The project was originally divided into three phases (CCG3A, 3B, and 3C). Design has been initiated for the work of all phases. The TRAC application will request construction funds for all three phases as one construction project in FY2017. The construction year request is based on the anticipated completion of CCG2 in the fall of 2016 and project readiness to meet a continuous construction schedule of the Innerbelt Corridor. CUY Innerbelt CCG7A (PID 98063): the project includes construction of a deceleration lane on I-71 southbound for the SR-176 exit, just south of the West 14 th street overpass. Currently, the entire CCG7 is on Tier 3 of the TRAC for $162M in construction. The District is requesting to advance $7M of the $162M total project cost for this head start project as part our funding strategy re-evaluation in order to maximize benefit and sequence the financing of the Innerbelt Corridor. CUY Eastbound (EB, PID 89168): the project includes construction of an auxiliary lane on I-480EB from the Lee Road entrance ramp to the I-480/I-271 split, just west of the Miles Road exit. The District recently completed the $7M reconstruction of the Warrensville Center Road bridge over I-480, which removed a pier that previously limited lane configurations. The District was recently informed of the award of $5M in ODOT safety funds toward the auxiliary lane project, contingent upon the successful award of TRAC funds. We are requesting construction funding in FY2017. CUY Innerbelt CCG7A (PID 98063): the project was programmed as a separate PID since it is proposed to be a stand-alone, head start project. The previous pid will remain with the balance of CCG7 on Tier 3. CUY-Innerbelt CCG4 Curve (PID 77413): the request for detail design funds will be deferred to the 2015 TRAC application cycle. 1
