11 FY 2017 Unified Planning Work Program: Final Dr. Camelia Ravanbakht, HRTPO Deputy Executive Director, reported that the draft report of the FY 2017 Unified Planning Work Program was presented to TTAC at its March 2, 2016 meeting and underwent public review from March 4, 2016 through April 15, She noted that all comments received were reviewed, addressed, and included in the appendix of the final report. Dr. Ravanbakht noted that HRTPO staff has requested a peer exchange with FHWA regarding Scenario Planning, one of the FY 2017 UPWP planning priorities. She indicated that FHWA has accepted and it will be scheduled for November. An invite will be sent to all TTAC members at a later date. Mr. Cross Moved to recommend HRTPO Board approval of the final report; seconded by Mr. Brian Solis. The Motion Carried. Balancing FY CMAQ Allocations Mr. John Mihaly, HRTPO Transportation Analyst, reported that the HRTPO is responsible for project selection and funding allocation for the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ) and the Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP). Marks for the RSTP for FY have been updated to reflect adjustments to address the impact of the Fixing America s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. He stated the change in CMAQ marks is partially due to Virginia no longer meeting criteria that previously allowed the Commonwealth to reduce the required set-aside for PM2.5 (particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter) projects. Without the exemption, Virginia is required to set-aside 25% of its CMAQ apportionment to fund PM2.5 projects and the result is a reduction in CMAQ funding available for MPO distribution. Mr. Mihaly indicated that due to the reduction in CMAQ marks, Hampton Roads is significantly over-allocated for the years FY HRTPO staff used the following strategy to produce a plan to maintain the funding status of all of the region s CMAQ projects: Identify dual-funded (CMAQ and RSTP) projects so that RSTP allocations may be added to off-set the de-allocation of CMAQ funds Affect the fewest projects possible HRTPO staff selected the following two projects as potential candidates for addressing the CMAQ funding decreases: UPC Multimodal Intercity Passenger Rail Station (Newport News) to address CMAQ over-allocations of $2,712,413 in FY 2017 and $821,207 in FY 2018 Summary TTAC Minutes May 4, 2016 Page 6 Prepared by K. Grauberger Attachment 7

12 UPC T11778 Purchase 41 Forty Foot Replacement Buses (HRT) to address CMAQ over-allocations of $549,214 in FY 2019 and $241,764 in FY 2020 HRTPO staff coordinated with Newport News and HRT staff on the funding adjustments described above and they concurred with the strategy. Ms. Jackie Kassel Moved to recommend HRTPO Board approval of the changes in CMAQ and RSTP allocations (and applicable TIP amendments) for the following projects to address the reduction in CMAQ funding available for the HRTPO area for FY 2017 FY 2020: UPC Multimodal Intercity Passenger Rail Station (Newport News) o Decrease FY 2017 CMAQ allocation by $2,712,413 o Increase FY 2017 RSTP allocation by $2,712,413 o Decrease FY 2018 CMAQ allocation by $821,207 o Increase FY 2018 RSTP allocation by $821,207 UPC T11778 Purchase 41 Forty Foot Replacement Buses (HRT) o Decrease FY 2019 CMAQ allocation by $549,214 o Increase FY 2019 RSTP allocation by $549,214 o Decrease FY 2020 CMAQ allocation by $241,764 o Increase FY 2020 RSTP allocation by $241,764 The Motion was seconded by Mr. Robert Lewis. The Motion Carried Long-Range Transportation Plan: Plan Performance Ms. Theresa Jones, HRTPO Transportation Engineer II, reported that at its March 17, 2016 meeting, the HRTPO Board approved the Draft Fiscally-Constrained List of Projects outlining $12.8 billion in project priorities for the 2040 Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). The Draft List is currently under a public review and comment period until May 20, She stated that as part of the compendium of reports that comprise the Hampton Roads 2040 LRTP, HRTPO staff has produced additional products to aid in the review of the Draft Fiscally-Constrained List of Projects. The Funding Plan documentation, Project Information Guide, and online map visualizing the draft projects and studies were presented at the April TTAC. In addition to these resources, staff has produced the 2040 LRTP Plan Performance report that summarizes forecasted impacts from the Regional Travel Demand Model as well as the Title VI/Environmental Justice Impact Scores for each of the draft projects. Ms. Jones discussed the impacts from the Regional Travel Demand Model and afterwards, Mr. Leo Pineda, II, HRTPO Transportation Planner, outlined the customized strategies utilized to reach out to engage the Title VI/EJ populations in Hampton Roads. The draft Plan Performance report will be posted online by May 6, 2016 with comments due to Dale Stith no later than May 20, Summary TTAC Minutes May 4, 2016 Page 7 Prepared by K.

13 Transit Provisions of the FAST Act Mr. Rob Jaques, HRTPO Transportation Planner, reported that on December 4, 2015, the Fixing America s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act was signed into law. He stated the FAST Act made changes to existing provisions of Federal Law pertaining to transit infrastructure investment, including reforms to improve and consolidate public transportation programs, increase flexibility for states and local governments to meet their transit needs, and address transit safety. He noted that the FAST Act also provides stable 5- year funding with a slight increase over previous funding levels, including $60 billion for public transportation over the life of the bill. Southeastern Parkway and Greenbelt Update Dr. Mike Robinson, Director of the Innovative Transportation Solutions (CITS) for the Old Dominion University Center reported that the Southeastern Parkway and Greenbelt (SEPG) project began in 1987 as a location study, initiated by VDOT, as a potential way to address transportation needs in and Chesapeake. The 21-mile long project would begin at the I-64/I-464 interchange in Chesapeake, extend generally east and northeast, and terminate at I-264 east of Oceana Naval Air Station in. The project was proposed as a limited access facility with cross sections varying between four, six, and eight lanes. After progressing through the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), the project stalled in 2009 due to environmental concerns and insufficient justification for the project. He stated that in 2014 the City of commissioned the Old Dominion University Center for Innovative Transportation Solutions (CITS) to produce a new SEPG study using the latest microscopic modeling techniques to address FHWA transportation concerns. He indicated that the analysis utilized the preferred alternative adopted by the Commonwealth Transportation Board in 1996 and that the study included the consideration of the effects of vehicle crashes as well as the utility of the project for hurricane evacuation. Dr. Robinson noted key findings from the study include: SEPG slightly improves system performance Anticipated volumes lower than previous forecasts Reduced build up in southeastern Current long range projects appear to be effective Tolls shift traffic to arterials, reducing overall system performance SEPG provide some hurricane evacuation clearance time improvement Bottleneck at Bowers Hill may significantly impact evacuations Three-Month Tentative Schedule Chair Gey outlined the Three-Month Tentative Schedule in the Agenda Packet, including the cancellation of the August TTAC meeting.

25 AGENDA ITEM #12: 2040 LONG-RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN: FINAL FISCALLY- CONSTRAINED LIST OF PROJECTS Dale Stith, HRTPO For the past four and a half years, HRTPO staff, in partnership with regional stakeholders, has been updating the Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) to the horizon year of 2040, with the goal of identifying multimodal projects and studies aimed at improving the economic vitality and quality of life for residents, businesses, and industries across Hampton Roads. Over the next 24 years, the Hampton Roads region is forecasted to receive approximately $12 billion in transportation revenues dedicated to maintaining the existing transportation system and another $12 billion for new construction. The draft list of projects for the 2040 LRTP, approved by the HRTPO Board at its March 17, 2016 meeting, identifies $12 billion in critical transportation investments for the region. This draft list was selected based on a thorough analysis of approximately 200 candidate projects using the HRTPO Project Prioritization Tool (evaluates projects based on their technical merits and regional benefits) as well as fiscal-constraint guidelines established to help maximize the use of forecasted revenues across various modes of transportation. Supporting the technical analysis, extensive public outreach has been conducted throughout the development of the 2040 LRTP. During April and May, the draft list of projects was made available for review by the public, stakeholder, and HRTPO Advisory Committees review. During this review period, the City of submitted a request (attached) to add Phase 3 of the I-64/I-264 Interchange Regional Priority Project as a study to the 2040 List of Projects and proposed transferring $10 million from the Southeastern Parkway and Greenbelt Study ( ) to cover the cost of the new study. Ms. Dale Stith, Principal Transportation Planner, will brief the TTAC on this item.

36 HRTPO PROJECT PRIORITIZATION Project Utility (Project Effectiveness) AF The Tool evaluates transportation projects based on three components: Project Utility (ability to solve an existing transportation issue), Economic Vitality (ability to support economic growth), and Project Viability (project readiness). Each component is worth 100 points, combining for a maximum score of 300 points (Note: Active Transportation projects have a maximum score of 200 points). HRTPO PROJECT PRIORITIZATION Congestion System Continuity and Connectivity Safety and Security Cost Effectiveness Regional Significance Land Use Compatibility Modal Enhancements T The HRTPO developed a project prioritization tool to establish an objective methodology to assist the HRTPO Board in selecting transportation projects that will benefit the region while maximizing the use of scarce financial resources. The HRTPO Project Prioritization Tool is designed to score candidate transportation projects based on their technical merits and regional benefits. Max: 100 Points Economic Vitality R (Potential for Economic Gain) Max: 100 Points Project Viability D Attachment 12-B For the 2040 LRTP, approximately 190 candidate projects were submitted for consideration. For prioritization purposes, and to align with funding streams, projects are evaluated in separate categories (highways, interchanges/intersections, bridge/tunnel, transit, intermodal, and active transportation). Evaluation criteria are based on the current regional vision and can be modified to address changing regional priorities.

56 AGENDA ITEM #13: REGIONAL ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION SAFETY STUDY Keith Nichols & Leo Pineda, HRTPO Each year there are tens of thousands of crashes on the Hampton Roads roadway network, resulting in tens of thousands of injuries, millions of dollars of damage, and the loss of life. Many of these crashes involve active transportation users. Active transportation is defined as including all forms of human-powered transportation. The most common forms of active transportation are bicycling and walking, but it also includes using a wheelchair and activities like in-line skating or skateboarding. Because of the impacts that crashes have on society, safety planning is a priority in the state and metropolitan transportation planning processes. The Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization (HRTPO) recently completed an update to the Hampton Roads Regional Safety Study, which addressed the recent trends in roadway safety in Hampton Roads, provided detailed characteristics of crashes in the region, detailed the location of crashes throughout the region, and examined ways to improve roadway safety broadly and for specific high crash locations. The Hampton Roads Active Transportation Safety Study builds on these previous HRTPO safety planning efforts by emphasizing safety concerns for bicyclists and pedestrians. This study will also assist HRTPO staff with the development of the regional active transportation plan. This presentation will highlight recent trends in active transportation crashes, crash characteristics and factors, the locations of active transportation crashes throughout Hampton Roads, and ways to improve active transportation safety. A future presentation will detail general countermeasures as well as countermeasures for hazardous locations throughout the region. Mr. Keith Nichols, Principal Transportation Engineer, and Mr. Leo Pineda, Transportation Planner, will brief the TTAC on this item. RECOMMENDED ACTION: For discussion and informational purposes.

57 AGENDA ITEM #14: I-64 HOV TO HOT CONVERSION STUDY Tony Gibson, VDOT In a letter from Virginia Secretary of Transportation Aubrey Layne, dated December 14, 2015 (attached), the Secretary noted that Hampton Roads has 32 miles of High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes that are under-utilized and offer an opportunity to provide new travel choices to commuters, improve reliability, and reduce congestion in all lanes via conversion to high-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes. The letter stated that the Office of Intermodal Planning and Investment (OIPI) would fund two separate but inter-related studies (i) analysis of the 7 miles of two-lane reversible HOV lanes between I-564 and I-264, and (ii) analysis of the 6.5 miles of dual direction one-lane HOV lanes between I-264 and Battlefield Boulevard to examine the following: Feasibility of converting the existing HOV lanes to HOT lanes Potential benefits of the HOV to HOT conversion Planning level cost estimates of such conversions Planning level construction schedule for the HOV to HOT conversion Work on the studies has been underway and is nearing completion. During his presentation to the HRTPO Board in May, VDOT Hampton Roads District Administrator Jim Utterback stated that the final report will be completed in June Mr. Tony Gibson, VDOT Hampton Roads District HRTAC Program Manager, will brief the TTAC on this item.

64 Finding the right solution Commuting to the world s largest naval station Traffic Management Article By Emily Cass and Sam Belfield May 16, 2016 I-564 is an increasingly clogged corridor into and out of Hampton Roads. Naval Station Norfolk (NSN) is located in the heart of Hampton Roads, occupying over 3,400 acres. Home to over 300 commands, NSN serves as the deep-water homeport for 75 warships and submarines, including five of the U.S. Navy s 12 aircraft carriers. On any given weekday, approximately 60,000 cars enter the base, most of which are single occupancy vehicles (SOVs). As the region s largest employer with approximately 123,000 military and civilian employees, commuter vehicle traffic regularly exceeds the capacity of the surrounding highways and streets, which leads to a frustrating driving experience for many military commuters. Roadways with the highest levels of traffic congestion due to military commuters are I-564, I-64, Hampton Boulevard, Granby Street and Terminal Boulevard. I-564 is the primary access highway to the naval base. This 3-mile stretch of road consists of three lanes including a high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane, runway tunnel and two exits. NSN Gates 1, 2 and 3A are the main entrances to the naval base from I-564. The heaviest commuter traffic congestion occurs between the hours of 5 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. Most traffic delays occur at the gate entrances and are exacerbated during traffic incidents. 1 Attachment 18

65 Military commuter survey In 2012, the Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization (HRTPO) surveyed military commuters in the Hampton Roads area. The purpose of the survey was to determine the transportation challenges facing local military personnel during their daily commutes in Hampton Roads. Approximately 11,000 active-duty, civilian employees and contractors responded to questions regarding commuting habits, issues and suggestions for improvement. Some of the most popular suggestions involved expanding public transit, improving gate operations and teleworking or offering compressed work schedules. According to the U.S. Census Bureau s 2010 American Community Survey, the average commute to work in the U.S. was 24 minutes, where the military survey respondent s commute time was 14 minutes longer at 38 minutes. Naval Station Norfolk contributed to 43% of all survey responses and 52% were active duty personnel. Traffic backing up at military gates was identified as the top transportation problem at NSN. Gate 3/3A, which is accessed from I-564, was the top congested military gate. The mean travel time to work for NSN commuters was 45 minutes, about 7 minutes longer than the average military commute in the region. The survey results identified existing and future military transportation commuting trends and needs, which provided valuable insight to city staff, military commands, Hampton Roads Transit (HRT) and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). Integrating TDM Transportation demand management (TDM) is the application of strategies used to increase overall system efficiency by encouraging a shift from SOVs to transit, ride-share and other non- SOV modes during peak commuting periods. TDM s focus is on moving people, not motor vehicles. By seeking to reduce trips and vehicle miles traveled, TDMs focus on travel options by providing incentives and information to modify travel behavior. A comprehensive TDM strategy can have a significant impact on travel behavior, SOV rates and system efficiency. Military installations, public agencies, large employers and public-private partnerships work together to implement most TDM programs. Traffix is a cooperative public service, established in 1995, that implements TDM strategies by offering information and services on transportation alternatives to area commuters in the Hampton Roads area, promoting and implementing a wide variety of programs and incentives, including carpooling and commuter matching, guaranteed ride programs, commuter rewards, park and ride/sail, vanpooling and teleworking. The outreach staff works directly with employers and the military to educate, develop and implement transportation alternative programs for their employees. Staff are employees of HRT; however, funding is provided through the HRTPO. The HRTPO has authorized annual funding for the service through Congestion and Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) and/or Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP) funding. The Traffix Oversight Subcommittee (TOS) consists of HRTPO, VDOT, the Department of Rail and Passenger 2 Attachment 18

66 Transportation (DRPT), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and local military and city economic development representatives. Quarterly TOS meetings monitor program progress and success. The TOS is dedicated to providing commuters with all the services and information they need to choose alternatives to driving alone, thereby saving gas and money, preventing air and water pollution, reducing traffic congestion and improving the overall quality of life for those living, working or vacationing in Hampton Roads. Integrating the Traffix TDM program can help reduce congestion to NSN and complement other congestion mitigation strategies such as improving roadway operations and improving public transit. Promoting the usage of TDM strategies such as ridesharing, teleworking and using public transit will increase awareness and decrease SOVs. A gate entrance to Naval Station Norfolk at peak commuting time. Partnering with the Navy Collaboration with NSN to increase awareness of transportation alternatives on the naval base is a key aspect of program implementation. A full-time military outreach consultant works directly on base during the work week. The job of the consultant is to connect with the over 300 commands and engage them into the goal of reducing traffic congestion. It also is the responsibility of the consultant to connect with all 38 military and support facilities in the Hampton Roads area. Current transportation alternatives offered to NSN commuters include three HRT express buses, three local HRT buses, vanpools, carpools, biking, walking, and telework and compressed work weeks. 3 Attachment 18
