REPORT OF THE CHAIR Chair Johnson welcomed Councilmember Janice Zahn, alternate representing the City of Bellevue. Chair Johnson announced that Cheryl Saltys would be retiring at the end of the month and this was her last Transportation Policy Board (TPB) meeting. He thanked Ms. Saltys for her 26 years of service and support to the TPB and wished her well in her retirement. Ms. Saltys shared that it had been her privilege to support the board and thanked members for their friendship and kindness. COMMUNICATIONS AND PUBLIC COMMENT The following people addressed the board: Paul W. Locke STAFF REPORT Kelly McGourty, Senior Program Manager Transportation Planning, reported that at the March Executive Board meeting the new Centers Framework was adopted. The framework was passed with a split vote following a robust conversation by the Executive Board. Staff will now move forward with the VISION 2050 process and consider issues for implementation and future project selection cycles. Kelly reminded the board that the project selection process was underway. PSRC staff are currently reviewing over 200 projects for eligibility. There will be two regional competitions, one for Federal Highway Administration funds and another for Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funds, and each of the four countywide forums will have a competition. There will also be FTA funds distributed through the earned share process. The TPB will see all project recommendations in July. Doc ID 2276 Packet Pg. 2
5.a Ms. McGourty informed the board that the public comment period for the VISION 2050 scoping process concluded in March. An online survey conducted for the scoping project is still available on the PSRC website. The TPB will receive a report on the VISION 2050 Scope and Work Plan at their May meeting. CONSENT AGENDA Approval of Minutes of Transportation Policy Board Meeting held March 8, 2018 Recommend Authorizing a Change in Transportation 2040 Project Status for the WSDOT I-5: Seneca to Mercer Additional Lane Project ACTION: The motion was made by Councilmember Terry Ryan and seconded by Mayor Becky Erickson to adopt the Consent Agenda. The motion passed. RECOMMEND ADOPTION OF REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN Work on the Regional Transportation Plan has been ongoing since 2017. The Transportation Policy Board has been briefed on what is in the plan and staff have provided the board with the performance outputs of the plan at various points. Last month the board received detailed information on the public comments received and proposed staff responses. The board would have the opportunity to provide additional feedback at today s meeting and recommend the draft plan to the Executive Board. Ms. McGourty presented a high-level overview of what is in the plan, its improvements and what it accomplishes. She also summarized information presented to the board at its March meeting regarding public comments received, key themes of the categories that received the most public comments, and reviewed topics that were elevated to the board for feedback and staff proposed responses. PSRC staff are working to finalize technical corrections, minor changes and clarifications to the plan for inclusion in the Executive Board agenda. Revised versions of the Executive Summary and main plan document have been completed and shared with the board; corrections to the appendices are still underway. At this point there have been no requests to amend the plan, and today will provide further opportunity for the board to provide feedback on additional edits. Board members discussed various elements of the plan and requested further clarifications in the plan related to park-and-ride capacity and transit integration. ACTION: The motion was made by Secretary Roger Millar and seconded by Councilmember Kate Kruller to recommend adoption of the draft Regional Transportation Plan to the Executive Board. The motion passed with 1 vote against. RECOMMEND STREAMLINING THE PSRC/WSDOT COORDINATED GRANT PROGRAM FOR SPECIAL NEEDS TRANSPORTATION Gil Cerise, Principal Planner, informed the board that PSRC and WSDOT are proposing to streamline the current special needs transportation coordinated grant funding competition. The PSRC Coordinated Grant Program provides approximately $2 million per year for special needs transportation projects in the large urban area of our region. PSRC leverages that Doc ID 2276 Packet Pg. 3
5.a funding with the statewide Consolidated Grant Program, coordinating and timing our process with WSDOT throughout the funding cycle. The proposed streamlined process would revise the roles and responsibilities between PSRC and WSDOT, and simplify the application process for grant applicants and other stakeholders. Under the streamlined process, WSDOT takes on more responsibility for the overall project selection process, while PSRC continues to identify regional priority projects and participates in the funding decision-making process with WSDOT. The Large Urban funds would be retained in our region. ACTION: The motion was made by Councilmember Kate Kruller and seconded by Councilmember Ryan Mello to recommend that the Executive Board approve revising the roles between PSRC and WSDOT to implement the streamlined special needs transportation Coordinated Grant process. The motion passed. PERFORMANCE BASED PLANNING AND FEDERAL TARGET SETTING Sean Ardussi, Senior Planner, shared background information on federal Performance Measurement Requirements, noting that MAP-21 introduced an emphasis on performance and outcome based planning which was carried forward by the FAST Act. This began a new performance based planning framework that emphasized prescribed measures and methodologies for their measurement. State DOTs and MPOs were tasked with reviewing available data and establishing targets though a collaborative process. PSRC has worked closely with local jurisdictions, transit agencies and WSDOT to develop targets and an approach to meet these requirements. Mr. Ardussi reviewed progress to date, noting that the board has previously approved performance targets on Transit Asset Management and Safety Performance. Mr. Ardussi provided an overview of the federal targets the board will act on later this year: Bridge and Pavement Condition, System Performance, Freight Movement, and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ). Ms. McGourty informed the board that the federal targets are specific and prescriptive, requiring that they be completed in a very defined manner with little flexibility. PSRC s efforts expand beyond the federally required performance measures, using a wide variety of data sources and measures to better inform the board and tell the story of what is happening in the region. Ms. McGourty highlighted examples of PSRC performance measures from the Regional Transportation Plan. Staff will continue to evaluate and report back to the board on federal targets and other PSRC performance measures. PSRC is required to establish the remaining federal targets by November 2018. The board can expect to receive briefings and take action on each of the targets through the summer and fall. ADJOURN The meeting adjourned at 11:19 a.m. Doc ID 2276 Packet Pg. 4

6.a ACTION ITEM May 3, 2018 To: From: Subject: Transportation Policy Board Kelly McGourty, Senior Program Manager, Transportation Planning Recommend Projects to Receive PSRC's FHWA Funds IN BRIEF As part of the 2016 project selection process for PSRC s federal funds, prioritized contingency lists of projects were approved for each of its recommending forums, should additional funds become available prior to the next process. Due to funds returned from projects as well as federal allocations higher than estimates, approximately $27.5 million of PSRC s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) funds is available for distribution to the adopted contingency lists. These funds are federal fiscal year (FFY) 2020 funds from the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STP) and the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ). RECOMMENDED ACTION The Transportation Policy Board should recommend that the Executive Board approve the distribution of approximately $27.5 million of PSRC funds to the list of projects as shown in Attachment A. DISCUSSION Since 2004, it has been PSRC s policy to create prioritized contingency lists of projects as part of each project selection process, should additional funds become available prior to the next process. Additional funds may come to the region from higher allocations of PSRC funds than were originally estimated, and/or funds being returned from delayed, cancelled, or completed projects. As part of the 2016 project selection process, which awarded PSRC s FFY 2018-2020 funds, the Executive Board approved prioritized contingency lists of projects from each recommending forum for PSRC s federal funds. Since the 2016 project selection process, approximately $27.5 million of PSRC s FFY 2020 FHWA funds has become available for distribution. A portion of the funds approximately $18.2 million comes from funds returned from projects, due to project cancellations, cost savings or other reasons. Per PSRC s adopted Project Tracking Policies, all returned funds are Doc ID 2273 Packet Pg. 7
6.a to be distributed to projects on the adopted contingency list from the original recommending forum. The remainder approximately $9.3 million is from federal allocations coming in higher than the original estimates used for programming. This amount is distributed among the regional and countywide forums based on the original percentage distributions at the time the contingency lists were created. The current process represents a change from previous years distributions to the contingency list. As a reminder, in 2017 the region faced a new challenge in that our FHWA awards needed to be rebalanced to accommodate a specific annual amount of federal allocation. This was the result of the region catching up on older funds that had yet to be utilized, resulting in a more precise accounting of funds available for use each year. As part of this process, sponsors throughout the region assisted in the rebalancing of all projects awarded 2018-2020 funds, to ensure no more than the estimated allocation by year was programmed. For the current year, 2018, we ensured all programming of awards met the estimated annual delivery target assigned to the region. Awards in 2019 and 2020 were equally balanced to meet the estimated allocation. Due to allocations of 2017 and 2018 funds coming in higher than originally estimated, there resulted in additional availability of funds in the later year of the balancing exercise, which was 2020. Another consequence of the new requirement to balance FHWA awards by year is that when funds are returned from projects the annual delivery target for that year is increased. To ensure the increased target is met and no funds are lost to the region, the updated policy calls for projects programmed in the subsequent year in this case 2019 to be advanced and allowed to obligate early. As this advancement of projects is conducted, the result is the amount of returned funds to be distributed to the adopted contingency lists is made available in the last year of programming, which in this case is 2020. The Regional Project Evaluation Committee and each of the four countywide forums have reviewed and recommended the distribution of funding to projects on the adopted contingency lists, as identified in Attachment A. Attachment B is the full list of contingency projects for each forum. Any deviations from the ranked list of projects was due to a project not being able to use the available amount of funding, or a project having been funded from other sources. Each of the recommended contingency projects has confirmed the funds can be used to complete a phase, or a significant element of the scope.

7.a DISCUSSION ITEM May 3, 2018 To: From: Subject: Transportation Policy Board Kelly McGourty, Senior Program Manager, Transportation Planning State Facilities Action Plan Update IN BRIEF The State Facilities Action Plan, contained as Appendix I of the Regional Transportation Plan, describes the needs and proposed actions for the most critical issues facing state facilities in the central Puget Sound region. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), in partnership with PSRC, has begun advancement of this work, including the formation of the I-5 System Partnership as well as preliminary discussions regarding the needs of local priority state routes throughout the region. The Transportation Policy Board will be provided a briefing on the status of both efforts, and a proposed work program throughout the remainder of 2018. DISCUSSION Per WSDOT, the State Facilities Action Plan is quickly becoming an agency-wide model of Practical Solutions. WSDOT has adopted Practical Solutions as an organizing principle for all agency functions, including all elements of planning, design, engineering, and delivering transportation solutions. The Practical Solutions approach is being used by WSDOT to increase the focus on transportation system performance and enable more flexible and sustainable transportation investment decisions. The approach includes increasing collaboration with communities and partners to identify needs and develop coordinated strategies to address them. By using this approach, WSDOT hopes to make transportation investments at the right place and time for the lowest cost. The State Facilities Action Plan in PSRC s Regional Transportation Plan identifies the following needs and work programs: an action plan for Interstate 5, including preservation and near-term operational efficiencies; reviewing the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes policy; seismic preparedness and retrofit of state facility bridges; and planning for local priority state route projects beyond those funded in Connecting Washington. Doc ID 2274 Packet Pg. 15
7.a The I-5 System Partnership has been formed with stakeholders from around the region, and has now scheduled regularly monthly meetings. Two meetings have been held thus far, in March and April of 2018. The current membership roster is attached to this memo. WSDOT will provide a report on the work of the partnership and next steps. In addition, PSRC and WSDOT have begun discussions of the work program to address the needs of local priority state routes. The preliminary plan is to work collaboratively to identify needs, current projects and future options, using available federal, state and regional data. The vision is for a coordinated state and regional approach to identify a set of solutions, which would consider options beyond just the state route to be inclusive of local facilities and transit. The draft proposal of next steps on this effort will be presented to the board for their feedback. For more information, please contact Kelly McGourty at 206-971-3601 or kmcgourty@psrc.org.

8.a DISCUSSION ITEM May 3, 2018 To: From: Subject: Transportation Policy Board Paul Inghram, Senior Program Manager VISION 2050 Status Update IN BRIEF The Transportation Policy Board will be provided with a briefing on VISION 2050, including themes from the VISION 2050 scoping comments and initial results from a public opinion survey. DISCUSSION To prepare for the upcoming VISION 2050 planning process, PSRC has been actively engaging the public, members and stakeholders to develop the project scoping report. PSRC published notices about the upcoming project through the website, in blogs, a press release, and various social media platforms. We reached out to PSRC boards, committees and members, and contacted each of the region s tribes. During the comment period, PSRC received letters or emails from three countywide organizations, 24 individual jurisdictions, 23 other organizations and agencies, and 37 individuals. PSRC held five listening sessions in February and March in Bremerton, Seattle, Lynnwood, Fife and Redmond to solicit input. More than 160 individuals participated in the listening sessions, and staff recorded comments at the sessions to inform the scoping process. With the listening session comments and written comments combined, staff delineated over 1,300 individual comments to inform the plan scope and SEPA (State Environmental Policy Act) environmental review. The full set of written comments submitted is available on the VISION webpage, along with a summary of all comments categorized by comment area. In addition to the public outreach activities, PSRC worked with consultant Cocker Fennessy to conduct a statistically valid public opinion survey to gauge the broad public sentiment towards growth and planning in the region. The survey was conducted online and over the phone and was offered in multiple languages to allow PSRC to hear from a wide range of residents. The survey engaged 2000 people from areas throughout the region. It also included questions asked during a 2003 survey to allow for comparison in responses over time. Staff will be able to share an initial set of the survey responses at the meeting. Doc ID 2272 Packet Pg. 19
8.a To continue to collect input from additional community groups and individuals, the survey is now posted online in several different languages. For more information, please contact Senior Program Manager Paul Inghram at 206-464-7549, PInghram@psrc.org. Doc ID 2272 Packet Pg. 20
9.a INFORMATION ITEM May 3, 2018 To: From: Subject: Transportation Policy Board Kelly McGourty, Senior Program Manager, Transportation Planning 2018 TIP Balancing and Extension Requests IN BRIEF As part of PSRC s adopted Project Tracking Policies, sponsors of projects awarded PSRC s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) funds for right of way or construction phases may request a one-time extension of their required June 1 st obligation deadline to December 31 st of the current year. Table 1 below identifies the nine projects receiving extensions to December 31, 2018. Additional information is provided describing the process to rebalance the PSRC awards to ensure the region s annual delivery target will be met. BACKGROUND PSRC s project tracking policies have been updated over time to reflect new requirements and emerging issues in the delivery of PSRC s federal funds. The current policies set an obligation deadline of June 1 st of each year for awards of PSRC s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) funds. The policies provide an opportunity for a one-time extension to December 31 st of that year for awards to right of way and construction phases. Requests for extensions are due to PSRC by April 1 st of each year and are approved based on whether the obligation of the PSRC funds is reasonably expected to occur by the end of the calendar year. This year, PSRC received nine extension requests, totaling approximately $14.3 million in PSRC s FHWA funds. Per the project tracking policies, these requests were reviewed by PSRC staff in consultation with the chairs of the four countywide forums and the Regional Project Evaluation Committee, as well as representatives from the Washington State Department of Transportation Local Programs regional offices. It was determined that each project is reasonably expected to obligate their PSRC funds by December 31 st, and therefore, all nine requests have been approved. The complete list of projects receiving extensions is identified in Table 1 below. TABLE 1: 2018 OBLIGATION DATE EXTENSION REQUESTS Sponsor Project Title Bainbridge Island Olympic Drive Nonmotorized Improvements $878,320 Doc ID 2275 Packet Pg. 21
9.a Sponsor Project Title Bellevue NE Spring Boulevard Multimodal Corridor $5,500,000 Bellevue Eastgate Way Nonmotorized Access to $686,174 Transit Covington 164 th Avenue SE Pedestrian Improvements $676,279 Lakewood Steilacoom Blvd. SW, Weller to Phillips $605,000 Monroe Chain Lake Road Phase 2a $488,725 Renton Renton Ave. South Preservation Project $1,020,700 Sultan Pedestrian and Bicycle Bridge Project $2,500,000 Tacoma Pipeline Trail Phase III $1,936,057 TOTAL: $14,291,255 Since the extension requests allow projects programmed in the current year to delay until December 31, there are consequences to ensuring the region s delivery target will be met for the current year as a reminder, the delivery target set by the state for each region is August 1 st of each year. As such, the policy is to allow extensions but to move those projects to the subsequent year i.e., the nine projects receiving extensions to December 31, 2018 are moved to federal fiscal year (FFY) 2019. To ensure the current year s delivery target is met, and no federal funds are lost to the region, an equal amount of funding in 2019 must be advanced to 2018. In addition to the obligation date extensions, as noted in agenda item #6, funds that are returned from projects also impact the current year s delivery target. The combination of returned funds and obligation date extensions for 2018 has resulted in the need to advance a total of $23.8 million from 2019 to 2018. PSRC is in the process of working with sponsors to identify those projects that are able to advance from 2019 to 2018 and help the region meet the 2018 delivery target. Based on the analysis to date, we are on track to accomplish this advancement exercise and successfully meet the target. We will provide additional information to the Board in the coming months on the status of 2018 delivery of PSRC s federal funds.
