What’s in There and What’s Not
Jeff Lindley
Operations / ITS Discipline Meeting
August 16, 2005
Outline
• Review of Reauthorization Objectives
• What’s In There (details)
• What’s Not
• How Did We Do?
• Challenges
• Next Steps
Operations / ITS Reauthorization Objectives
• Establish a specific foundation for Transportation Systems Management & Operations (TSM&O)
• Implement programs and provisions that will help agencies enhance system performance
• Institutionalize freight management and increase freight management investment
• Continue strong ITS program
What’s In There (Operations)
• Real-Time System Management Information Program (1201)
• HOV Provisions (1121)• Toll Provisions (1604)• Surface Transportation Congestion Relief
Solutions Research Program (5502)• Road Weather R&D Program (5308)• Future Strategic Highway Research Program
(5210)
What’s In There - Freight
• Freight Intermodal Distribution Pilot Grant Program (1306)
• Freight Planning Capacity Building Program (5204(h))• National Cooperative Freight Transportation Research
Program (5209)• Projects of Regional & National Significance (1301)• National Corridor Infrastructure Improvement
Program (1302)• Coordinated Border Infrastructure Program (1303)
What’s In There - ITS
• ITS Research (5301-5310)
• CVISN Deployment (4126)
• Extension / Expansion of ITIP Program (5508)
1201 – Real-Time System Mgmt Information Program
• Program to provide real-time travel conditions and information sharing in all States
• Required data exchange formats established within two years
• Must be addressed in regional ITS architectures• Planning and deployment eligible under NHS,
STP, CMAQ programs
1121 – HOV Facilities
• States permitted to create HOT lanes• States can permit low emission / energy efficient
vehicles (will include most, if not all hybrids) to use HOV lanes
• Low emission / energy efficient vehicles may be tolled (not at full rate)
• Performance monitoring required• High level of service must continue to be provided
1604 – Tolling Provisions
• Continues Value Pricing program and provides $59 million in new funding
• VPPP participation limited to 15 States (14 existing)
• New Express Lanes Demonstration Program– Focused on managing congestion, reducing emissions
– New capacity or existing HOV or toll capacity can be tolled
– Limited to 15 projects, no separate funding provided
5502 – Surface Transportation Congestion Relief Solutions
• $36 million over 4 years for research, $3 million over 4 years for training and technical assistance
• Focused on congestion measurement and reporting, implementation of effective congestion relief strategies
5210 – Future Strategic Highway Research Program
• $205 million over 4 years
• National Academies of Science program
• 4 major program elements, including improving reliability
• 100% Federal share
1306 – Freight Intermodal Distribution Pilot Grant Program
• Grants to support intermodal freight transportation infrastructure and initiatives
• $30 million over 5 years
• Selection process defined, but funding fully set aside for projects in Oregon, Georgia, California, Alaska, and North Carolina
• Report to Congress after 3 years
5204(h) – Freight Planning Capacity Building
• $3.5 million over 4 years for freight training and education activities, including information dissemination, peer exchange, data and analysis tools, and technical assistance
• No match required
5209 – Nat’l Cooperative Freight Transportation Research Program• National Academies of Science program to
conduct freight transportation research
• Guided by advisory committee
• $15 million over 4 years
• No match required
• Other funds may be used to support research
1301 – Projects of National and Regional Significance
• $1,779 million over 5 years
• Major projects ($500+ million with national and regional benefits
• Selection criteria defined, but program funding fully set aside for 25 projects in 16 States
1302 – National Corridor Infrastructure Improvement Pgm
• $1,948 million over 5 years
• Corridor projects designed to promote economic growth and international or interregional trade
• Selection criteria defined, but program funding fully set aside for 33 projects in 23 States
1303 – Coordinated Border Infrastructure Program
• $833 million over 5 years• Border State projects designed to improve safe
and efficient movement of motor vehicles and freight at or across borders with Canada and Mexico
• Formula program based on number of ports of entry, commercial truck and bus and motor vehicle traffic, cargo weight
• Projects in Canada and Mexico eligible • Limited funding transfers to GSA permitted
5301-5310 – ITS Research
• $110 million per year with annual set asides for I-95 corridor ($7m) and road weather R&D ($5m)
• New program plan within one year• $250k annual cap on outreach activities• New advisory committee required• Specific system performance goals, including
nationwide deployment of 511 by 2010• ITS Integration Program repealed as of 10/1/2005
4126 – CVISN Deployment
• $100 million over 4 years
• Core deployment and expanded deployment grants – capped at $2.5 million total per State
• 50% program share, 80% Federal share
• Administered by FMCSA
5508 – Transp. Technology Innovation and Demo Program
• Extension of existing Intelligent Transportation Infrastructure Program
• 22 new eligible cities
• Existing contract will be completed
• Must create and compete new program to use uncommitted and any new appropriated funds
Other Provisions
• Temporary Traffic Control Devices (1110)• Interstate Oasis Program (1310)• GCM Corridor Earmark (1943)• I-95 Corridor Earmark (5211)• Catastrophic Hurricane Evacuation Plans (10204)• Truck Parking Facilities (1305)• Future of Surface Transportation System (1909)• Categorical Exclusion for ITS Projects (6010)
What’s Not in There
• Separate section on TSM&O
• Congestion relief Federal-aid programs
• Separate ITS deployment funding
• Freight coordinator requirement
• NHS connectors set aside
How Did We Do?
• Additional Federal-aid funding for operations / freight / ITS projects and activities
• More focus on congestion relief, system performance, reliability, freight management
• Continuation of operations / freight / ITS focus in R&D programs
Challenges
• Constraints on R&D Funding
• Proliferation of deadlines, studies, Congressional reports, etc.
What’s Next
• Fact sheets and other outreach material
• Understanding short term requirements and getting organized to accomplish
