Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)    From:     Pragati Srivastava, Administrator Memphis MPO       The Memphis MPO has determined that the requested TIP amendment (attached) is complete.  After review the following determinations were made:  1) The amendment is consistent with the MPO Board adopted Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). Such amendment furthers the goals of the RTP by providing for the expeditious completion of all projects while also providing additional clarity for those projects that are the subject of the amendment.  2) Funding Sources are listed below with each project.  3) Other – The amendment and reaffirmation demonstrates the FY 2017‐20 TIP is a subset of the Board adopted 2040 RTP.  Inter‐agency Consultation  While the proposed amendment did not require an Air Quality Conformity report, inter‐agency consultation review was requested via email on July 2, 2018 and concurrence occurred on July 12 and 16, 2018.   Dates and Locations of Consideration of Amendments Engineering and Technical Committee 1:30 PM, Thursday, August 2, 2018  UT Health Science Center – Student Alumni Building, 800 Madison Avenue, Memphis, TN  MPO Transportation Policy Board 1:30 PM, Thursday, August 23, 2018  UT Health Science Center – Student Alumni Building, 800 Madison Avenue, Memphis, TN  Date for Publication of Public Notice August 9, 2018  Copy of the TIP Pages for the Amendments and Demonstration of Existing Fiscal Constraint The TIP amendment resolution is attached.  Individual TIP project pages have been included in the complete TIP document.  The MPO has determined that the amendment of this project into the TIP will not result in the loss of any funding or the increase of any expenses; therefore the FY 2017‐20 TIP remains fiscally constrained. 

   

Date:     August 23, 2018  Subject:   Conformity Report –Amendment to the Memphis Urban Area FY 2017‐20 

Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)   From:     Pragati Srivastava, Administrator Memphis MPO  This report was prepared to document how air quality conformity issues associated with the attached amendment to the FY 2017‐20 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) was addressed.    This report provides the information needed to address the Transportation Conformity Checklist provided to the MPO by FHWA to aid in their review of TIP amendments. The TIP, as amended, this report, and attachments to this report should be used to document compliance.   The FY 2017‐20 TIP, as amended, conforms to the State Implementation Plan (SIP), the transportation Conformity Regulations, the Statewide and Metropolitan Planning Regulations and all other applicable Federal and state requirements.  The TIP, as amended, is a subset of the adopted 2040 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and the conformity determination made on that plan also applies to the TIP, as amended.   The requirements of 40 CFR 93.122 (e) state that a TIP may rely on a previous regional emissions analysis for a plan if that analysis also applies to the TIP. This requires a demonstration that:     (i) The TIP contains all projects, which must be started in the TIP's timeframe in order to achieve the highway and transit system envisioned by the transportation plan;     (ii) All TIP projects which are regionally significant are included in the transportation plan with design concept and scope adequate to determine their contribution to the transportation plan's regional emissions at the time of the transportation plan's conformity determination; and     (iii) The design concept and scope of each regionally significant project in the TIP is not significantly different from that described in the transportation plan. The amendment(s) listed here meet all three of these requirements.  The Memphis MPO Transportation Policy Board (TPB) adopted this amendment at its meeting on August 23, 2018; a copy of the Board resolution is attached. This Resolution also specifically finds that the amendments and resulting TIP conform to the 2040 RTP.  While the proposed amendment did not require an Air Quality Conformity report, inter‐agency consultation review was requested via email on July 2, 2018 and concurrence occurred on July 12 and 16, 2018.   The adopting Board Resolution found that the public participation process for amending the TIP followed the TPB adopted Public Involvement Plan.  A notice was published in several regional newspapers of the proposed amendment’s availability for public review and the time, date and location of a public hearing for the TIP amendment was listed.  No public comments on the TIP amendments were received.  The TIP amendments were developed according to the consultation procedures for the development of the appropriate SIP. The SIP, which creates the emissions budget for the TIP, has not changed, so the prior consultation procedures used for development remain sufficient and appropriate.    

August 2018 – TIP Amendments 

1. TIP Amendment 5339‐2018‐01 Paratransit Vehicles The Memphis Area Transit Authority (MATA) is requesting to amend the FY 2017‐20 TIP by adding the Paratransit Vehicles Project. The amendment will add $1,354,235 in 5339(b) federal funds, $643,817 in state funds, and $222,005 in local funds to FY 2018 for the purchase of up to 50 paratransit vehicles and will replace some of MATA’s paratransit vehicles that have met their useful life.

This project provides funding for the purchase of up to 50 paratransit vehicles using FY 2018 Section 5339

funds. These vehicles generally have a service life of 4 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first and will

replace some of MATA's paratransit vehicles that have met their useful service life, allowing MATA to expand

its paratransit fleet for improved demand-response service. All vehicles will be replaced in accordance with
