REPORT and VOTE: Consider approval of the final draft Federal Fiscal Year 2015-2018 Transportation Improvement Program.

BACKGROUND:

The MPO staff is required to develop a four-year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) by updating the current TIP for the MPO. The purpose of the TIP is to list all projects in the MPO planning area proposed to receive federal funding and scheduled to begin within the next four federal fiscal years. The MPO staff requested that MPO member governments and participating agencies review and report any project changes, new projects, or “roll-over” projects programmed in Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and/or 2018. Staff developed the project listing for the FFY 2015-2018 TIP with the information provided by the member governments. The MPO staff submitted the FFY 2015-2018 TIP draft to the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) and Federal Highway Administration for review and comment on June 23, 2014. Staff will incorporate any comments received into the final draft. The final FFY 2015-2018 TIP is due to the Iowa DOT by July 17, 2014. The MPO’s Public Participation Plan requires the FFY 2015-2018 TIP to undergo a 45-day comment period and have a stand only public input meeting. Staff held a public input meeting at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 24, 2014, at the MPO office. The final draft FFY 2015-2018 TIP is included as a supplemental item to this agenda packet.

Agenda Report




ISSUE: Iowa’s Clean Air Attainment Program Schedule

REPORT: Brief report on the Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2016 Iowa’s Clean Air Attainment Program Schedule.

BACKGROUND:

Modeled after the federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program, Iowa’s Clean Air Attainment Program (ICAAP) was created by the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) in 1994. The purpose of ICAAP is to provide funds to transportation projects that maintain the national ambient air quality standards outlined in the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments. Each year, the Iowa DOT awards ICAAP funds to projects with the highest potential for reducing transportation-related congestion and air pollution. Applications for ICAAP are available at the Iowa DOT’s ICAAP website, https://forms.iowadot.gov/BrowseForms.aspx?templateid=230017. Member governments and agencies planning to apply for ICAAP funds should submit letters of intent to the MPO no later than August 15, 2014; ICAAP applications are due to the MPO by 4:30 pm, on Friday, September 12, 2014. The MPO staff will review all ICAAP applications and submit the applications to the Iowa DOT by the October 1, 2014, deadline.

June 2014 Item No. 8

INFORMATION: Construction Timing Management

INFORMATION: Updated list of upcoming construction projects in the region.

BACKGROUND: Based on a request from the Traffic Management Advisory Committee (TMAC) and the MPO’s new role as a Transportation Management Association, the MPO will track current and future construction projects for the purpose of:

Avoiding closures of major transportation facilities in close proximity to each other Communicating with first responders the location of road closures Communicating with the public regarding road closures and/or congestion due to

construction Long-term Forecasting: Staff, with assistance from TMAC and the Engineering Subcommittee, will annually analyze the Transportation Capital Improvement Program (TCIP) and the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for potential future conflicts in construction projects especially those across jurisdictions where multiple closings could cause major disruptions in traffic flow and access by emergency personnel. Any potential conflicts will be brought to the attention of the project sponsors for possible resolution. Current Year Construction Coordination In order to communicate to members of TMAC and to the public regarding areas to expect closures and possible delays, a list of current year transportation projects and their expected dates for construction will be continuously update and shared. TTC members receive this document on a monthly basis for updating as project contracts are finalized and scheduled. An updated list of 2014 projects and construction timing is included as a supplemental item.

General Overview of the TIP Thetransportationsysteminametropolitanplanningarea isvital forthemovementofpeopleand

themovement of people and themovement of goods. The transportation improvement program

(TIP) is ametropolitan area’s regionally agreed upon list of surface transportation improvements

that received Federal funding to move goods and people in a metropolitan area’s transportation

system.

The TIP and Federal Guidance

Congress passed the Federal‐AidHighwayAct of1962, requiring regional agencies to conduct a

"continuing, comprehensive, and coordinated" (3‐C) transportation planning process. Congress

took additional steps in drafting the Federal‐AidHighwayActof1973 by establishingMetropolitan

Planning Organizations (MPO) in urbanized areas over 50,000 persons in population, and by

dedicating to MPOs a small portion of each state's funding from the Highway Trust Fund. The

2

DRAFT

Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) empowered and provided for

flexibility in the use of funding, improved state‐regional cooperation, and enhanced public

participation. The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA‐21) legislation of 1998

expanded the role and responsibilities of metropolitan areas exceeding 200,000 persons in

populationwith thedesignationof TransportationManagementAreas (TMA). In2005,Congress

passed the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users

(SAFETEA‐LU).

SAFETEA‐LU guaranteed funding for highways, highway safety, and public transportation through

Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2009 (September 30, 2009). Since then, the United States Senate has

passed continuing resolutions to extend SAFETEA‐LU and to provide appropriations for transit

programs through 2012 at funding levels consistent with authorized 2009 levels. SAFETEA‐LU

addressed themany challenges facing transportation systems including improving safety, reducing

Federal Transportation Planning Process Title23of theUnitedStatesCodeofFederalRegulations (CFR),Section450,SubpartC, states that

MPOsaretocarryouta:

“…continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive multimodal transportation planningprocess, including the development of a metropolitan transportation plan and a

transportation improvement program (TIP), that encourages and promotes the safe

and efficient development, management, and operation of surface transportationsystems to serve the mobility needs of people and freight (including accessible

pedestrianwalkwaysandbicycletransportationfacilities)and fostereconomicgrowth

and development, while minimizing transportation‐related fuel consumption and airpollution.”

Section 450.306 identifies eight planning factors to identify the “scope of the metropolitan

transportationplanningprocess.” Theseinclude:

1. Support the economic vitality of the metropolitan area, especially by enabling

globalcompetitiveness,productivity,andefficiency;

2. Increase the safety of the transportation system for motorized andnon‐motorizedusers;

3. Increase the security of the transportation system for motorized and

non‐motorizedusers;4. Increaseaccessibilityandmobilityofpeopleandfreight;

5. Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, and

improve consistency between transportation improvements and State and local

plannedgrowthandeconomicpatterns;6. Enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system, across

andbetweenmodes,forpeopleandfreight;

7. Promoteefficientsystemmanagementandoperation;and,8. Emphasizethepreservationoftheexistingtransportationsystem.

Project Selection Procedures

The Des Moines Area MPO is responsible for selecting projects that use Surface Transportation

Program (STP) and Transportation Alternative Program (TAP) funding.When considering project

requests for STP or TAP funds, the MPO places primary emphasis upon metropolitan‐wide

transportationsystemimprovementneedsas identifiedintheDesMoinesAreaMPO’sLong‐Range

Transportation Plan, how those needs impact themovement of people and goods throughout this

metropolitanarea,andhowtherequestedprojectwillhavepotentialbenefitsandpotentialimpacts

entities in the Des Moines Area MPO MPA are eligible only with co‐sponsorship by one of the

organizations listed above. Additionally, all projects applying for Des Moines Area MPO STP

fundingmust be located on a federal‐aid eligible route. When applying for STP or TAP funds, a

sponsor must submit a resolution from that sponsor’s council, board of supervisors, or similar

governingbody,guaranteeingthelocalfundsfortheSTPandTAPmatchandauthorizingtheproject.

Surface Transportation Program

The purpose of the STP is to provide flexible funding that may be used by localities for

improvementsonanyFederal‐aidhighway,bridgeprojectsonanypublic road,and intracityand

intercity bus terminals and facilities. The STP is also intended to provide funding for transit

capital improvements, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and regional transportation planning

activities.TheMPOestablishedfourSTPsubcategoriesforimprovements:

RegionallySignificant

Major Construction ‐ New: Projects create a new facility on a new alignment,

includingnewinterchangesorbridgereplacements,newrightofway.

MajorConstruction ‐Existing:Projects add capacity for a significant length of an

existing street or highway or adding lanes to an existing bridge, existing right ofway.

OtherProjects

Minor Construction: Projects provide “spot” improvements, such as arterial

intersection channelization and signalization, bridge improvements, or railroad

crossingsignalimprovements.

Preservation:Projectsthatmaintainorpreservetheexistinginfrastructure,suchas

vehicle use, such as pedestrian ways and trails, public transportation systems,

multi‐modal facilities, and carpool/vanpool and other multiple‐occupancy vehicle

programs.

5. When did the relationship(s) start and end or does the relationship(s)

continue?6. Is a relationship substantial enough to justify the investment of

transportationfunds?

The TAP guidance states that proximity to a transportation facility alone is not sufficient to

establish a relationship. The following application types generally have been considered

ineligiblebytheFHWA,incooperationwiththeIowaDOT:

1. Surfacingorresurfacingofexistingroadsorconstructionofnewroads;

Other program funds are discretionary, and some are earmarked for specific projects. Program

fundsincludethefollowing:

DRAFT

MetropolitanPlanningProgram (Section5303): FTA provides funding for this

program to the State based on its urbanized area populations. The funds arededicated to support transportationplanningprojects inurbanized areaswithmore

than50,000population.

Urbanized Area Formula Program (Section 5307): FTA provides transitoperating, planning, and capital assistance funds directly to local recipients in

urbanizedareaswithpopulationsbetween50,000and200,000,basedonpopulation

and density figures, plus transit performance factors for larger areas. Localrecipients, for whom projects are programmed by the Des Moines AreaMPO, must

applydirectlytotheFTA.

Capital InvestmentProgram (Section5309): The transit discretionary programprovides Federal assistance for major capital needs, such as fleet replacement and

constructionof transit facilities. All transitsystems in thestateareeligible for this

program. In recent years, Congress has earmarked all of these funds for specificprojectsorgeographicregions.

SpecialNeedsProgram(Section5310): Fundingisprovidedthroughthisprogram

to increase the mobility for the elderly and persons with disabilities. Part of thefunding is administered along with the Non‐Urbanized funding; another part is

allocatedamongurbanizedtransitsystems.

Non‐UrbanizedAreaFormulaProgram (Section5311): This program providescapital and operating assistance for rural and small urban transit systems. Fifteen

percent of these funds are allocated to Intercity Bus projects. A portion of the

fundingisalsoallocatedtosupportruraltransitplanning.

used for statewide training events and to support transit funding fellowships for

regionalandsmallurbantransitstafforplanners.

StatewideTransportationPlanningProgram(Section5304): Thesefundscome

to the state based on population and are used to support transportation planning

projectsinnon‐urbanizedareas.

FlexibleFunds: CertainTitle23fundsmaybeusedfortransitpurposes. Transit

capital assistance is an eligible use of STP funds. Transit capital and start‐up

operatingassistance is aneligibleuseof ICAAP funds. When ICAAPandSTP fundsare programmed for transit projects, they are transferred to the FTA. The ICAAP

Federal guidelines state that the TIP shall include a financial plan that demonstrates how the

approved TIP can be implemented, identifies public and private resources that are reasonably

expectedtobeavailabletocarryouttheTIP,andrecommendanyadditionalfinancingstrategiesfor

projectsandprograms.

Federal Highway Administration Projects

For purposes of transportation operations and maintenance, the financial plan shall contain

system‐levelestimatesofcostsandrevenuesourcesthatarereasonablyexpectedtobeavailableto

adequately operate and maintain Federal‐aid highways (as defined by 23 U.S.C. 101(a)(5)) and

public transportation (as defined by title 49 U.S.C. Chapter 53). In addition, revenue and cost

estimatesfortheTIPmustuseaninflationrate(s)toreflect‘‘yearofexpendituredollars,’’basedon

reasonablefinancialprinciplesandinformation,developedcooperativelybytheMPOs,State(s),and
