It is a blueprint that describes how the region will invest in its multimodal transportation system over the next 25 years. The GIAMPO amends the LRTP to accommodate changes to projects in the LRTP. The proposed Amendment No. 1 to the LRTP adds one (1) Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR) project, adjusts the anticipated project costs and/or funding sources for two (2) NDOR projects, and adjusts the fiscal constraint of the plan to include additional anticipated federal revenue. Amendment No.1 requires modifications (shown in red) in Chapter 7 – Financial Plan and Chapter 9 – Recommended Plan of the LRTP. GIAMPO’s PPP indicates a public comment period of at least 30 days for an LRTP amendment prior to GIAMPO Policy Board approval. The public comment period of LRTP Amendment No. 2 will begin on April 12, 2017 and conclude on May 12, 2017.

This funding balance is assumed to be available to construct new projects in the GIAMPO Area based upon a conservative forecast of future operations and maintenance costs and revenue generation. Assumptions relating to the forecasts and detailed tables are shown in Appendix C. 9 To Be determined (TBD): Federal revenue estimates for NDOR projects in the GIAMPO planning area will be determined as the MPO’s needs are assessed and funding targets are established. At this time, NDOR is still assessing the need for specific projects of regional significance in the Grand Island Area MPO planning area for the period of 2020-2040. NDOR has established revenue projections within the timeframe of the NDOR Surface Transportation Program Book, a six-year document that outlines NDOR’s projects and future expenditures. NDOR recognizes an ongoing and long-term need to monitor, evaluate and upgrade the state highway and interstate highway system in the Grand Island Area MPO planning area as well as the State of Nebraska at large. NDOR will continue to monitor the existing conditions and proposed future changes to the state highway system with the continuing cooperation, coordination and assistance of GIAMPO and local partners. As future needs are identified with regard to infrastructure condition, safety, roadway capacity or transit service, NDOR will work to address these needs and include them through update or amendment in the GIAMPO Long Range Plan, TIP and the NDOR Surface Transportation Program Book and STIP as required by State and Federal regulation.

Transit service in the GIAMPO area is expected to continue but will be subject to the availability of local matching funds. A detailed breakdown of transit funding sources, assumptions and year-to-year forecasts for available revenue is shown in Appendix C. It is assumed that Grand Island will provide service only up to the budget that is available through a combination of Federal Transit funding and local matching dollars. A summary of the available transit revenue is shown below in Table 7-3.

The first step in identifying the amount of funds available for new construction was to subtract the cost of these projects from the estimated total revenues from 2016 through 2040. A number of major projects have been programmed for the Grand Island area. Many of the committed projects are being completed by NDOR utilizing federal funding from a number of sources. The specific construction year and funding by source can be found in the GIAMPO Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) 2016-2020 and 2018-2022. Between 2016 and 20220, NDOR will complete a major reconstruction on I-80 in the GIAMPO study area, the reconstruction of U.S.-281 between U.S.-30 and Broadwell, and replacement of three bridges on U.S.-30. NDOR has also committed to construct a U.S.-30 west bypass from west of US-281 to near County Road 20 and then also install automated gates at I-80 interchanges. The total cost of these projects, shown in Table 9-2, is estimated at $67 million. 14 To Be determined (TBD): Federal revenue estimates for NDOR projects in the GIAMPO planning area will be determined as the MPO’s needs are assessed and funding targets are established.

The City of Grand Island and Hall County in the GIAMPO study area have an annual Operation and Maintenance budget to maintain the existing transportation infrastructure. It includes personnel, equipment, and materials cost of maintenance. It also includes funds for more extensive maintenance projects such as resurfacing, replacing curbs, signs, signal maintenance, and other similar activities. NDOR contracts with the local governments to complete routine maintenance. Table 9-3 presents the combined local and state maintenance costs. Operation and Maintenance costs, also presented in Table 9-3, were projected for the next 25 years. These costs are shown on an annual basis in Appendix C. In addition, a general estimate of reconstruction costs for projects not yet determined was included in these cost estimates. The funds for operations, maintenance, and reconstruction are shown in Table 9-3. The inflation rate for the future year of expenditure is based upon past trends for each specific line item. These assumptions and rates are documented in Appendix C.

This process took three steps: project evaluation, public input, and MPO Technical Committee review. Each of the proposed projects presented in the Long-Range Transportation Plan was evaluated based on the GIAMPO 2040 project goals and evaluation criteria presented in Chapter 3. Each criterion was transparent. Base factors and criteria were developed for each project goal. A composite score was calculated for each project based on the goal score multiplied by the goal weight, which was developed as part of the public involvement process. The priorities are discussed in Chapter 5, with detailed project scoring shown in the Appendices. Public input was sought on project priorities. As part of the second public meeting, participants scored a high, medium, or low prioritization to each project type. They also provided input on specific projects 15 To Be determined (TBD): Federal revenue estimates for NDOR projects in the GIAMPO planning area will be determined as the MPO’s needs are assessed and funding targets are established.

The purpose of the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) is to provide the citizens of the Grand Island Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (GIAMPO) and all partnering governing bodies with an outline of the Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (MPO) planned work activities for fiscal year 2018 (July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018). The UPWP is a budget document prepared annually, and it may be amended by the GIAMPO Policy Board as priorities and activities change. The UPWP provides guidance and serves as a management mechanism for scheduling, budgeting, and evaluating the planning activities of GIAMPO. The UPWP defines the major administrative and technical work elements for a specific planning year and identifies the major sources of funding for these projects. The primary purpose of the UPWP is to ensure adherence to/compliance with provisions of 23 CFR 450. The UPWP guides GIAMPO in completing the work elements that lead to the development and implementation of the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The work elements defined in the UPWP are reviewed and approved by GIAMPO, ONE DOT (Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration), and the Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR) who in turn have designated the City of Grand Island as the contracting agent responsible for administering and performing these elements approved within the program. What is GIAMPO? The Grand Island Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (GIAMPO) is the federally required Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) to carry out the Continuing, Cooperative, and Comprehensive (3-C) transportation planning process for the Grand Island metropolitan region. Responsibilities of GIAMPO include, but are not limited to:  Providing the forum for local decision-making on transportation issues of a regional nature.  Encouraging and seeking public involvement throughout the planning and development of the area’s transportation plans and programs.  Facilitating the development of all planning elements for the Metropolitan Planning Area  Submitting transportation planning documents to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and NDOR. GIAMPO is responsible for transportation planning activities within a geographic area identified as the Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA). GIAMPO’s MPA is comprised of the City of Grand Island, Village of Alda, portions of Hall County, and a portion of west Merrick County. The MPA is shown in Figure 1. Grand Island Regular Session - 4/10/2017 Page 31 / 95 6 | Page Figure 1 – GIAMPO Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA) GIAMPO’s structure is formed by two designed committees – Policy Board and Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). GIAMPO staff provides support to these committees. Policy Board The Policy Board is the governing body of GIAMPO. It is comprised of mostly elected officials that establish the overall policy direction for GIAMPO’s planning activities. The Policy Board has the final responsibility of these activities, and it approves the MPO work products such as the UPWP, LRTP, and TIP. Technical Advisory Committee The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) is a staff-level committee, which advises the Policy Board on technical matters related to MPO work products, transportation policies, and other technical studies and plans considered by GIAMPO. The TAC can establish subcommittees to provide technical and recommendations to them on transportation-related projects or issues. In 2016, a Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory subcommittee was established for the GIAMPO Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. Staff The GIAMPO staff will be available to aid local officials and concerned citizens in implementing transportation and various community improvement programs in an overall effort to enhance the area. Staff members encourage and assist local leaders in several programs, with strong emphasis on the benefits of regional cooperation and coordination. Currently, the GIAMPO staff involved with transportation planning consists of a MPO Program Manager supported by the Director of Public Works/City Engineer and the Public Works staff in conjunction with the Director of the Hall County Regional Planning Department, and various administrative staff. Grand Island Regular Session - 4/10/2017 Page 32 / 95 7 | Page MPO FY 2018 Staff Time Estimates Staff (equivalent staff time) Estimated Staff Months Est. Hours Professional Staff (MPO Program Manager) - Direct 11.0 1,904 Administrative Staff (Administrative Assistance) - Direct 0.1 25 Federal Requirements for Transportation Planning The Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act or "FAST Act", became law on December 4, 2015, and continues the Metropolitan Planning program. This program continues the federal requirement of the metropolitan transportation planning process to be continuous, cooperative, and comprehensive. The FAST Act includes ten (10) factors required for consideration in the planning process. The UPWP includes work activities to be accomplished over fiscal year 2018 which will address these factors. The ten (10) factors are the following: 1. Support the economic vitality of the metropolitan area, especially by enabling global competitiveness, productivity, and efficiency; 2. Increase the safety of the transportation system for motorized and non-motorized users; 3. Increase the security of the transportation system for motorized and non-motorized users; 4. Increase the accessibility and mobility options available to people and for freight; 5. Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, improve the quality of life, and promote consistency between transportation improvements and State and local planned growth and economic development patterns; 6. Enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system, across and between modes, for people and freight; 7. Promote efficient system management and operation; 8. Emphasize the preservation of the existing transportation system; 9. Improve the resiliency and reliability of the transportation system and reduce or mitigate stormwater impacts of surface transportation; and 10. Enhance travel and tourism. Planning Emphasis Areas The FHWA and FTA have jointly issued Planning Emphasis Areas (PEAs) for federal fiscal year 2016 that are planning areas the MPOs and State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) are to address as they develop their planning work programs. Listed here are the three strategic objectives for surface transportation that highlight current transportation planning regulations. Transition to Performance Based Planning and Programming – This is the implementation of a performance management approach to transportation planning and programming. Promote Cooperation and Coordination across Transit Agency, MPO, and State Jurisdictions – This is to be a coordinated approach with State DOTs, MPOs, and providers of public planning to improve the effectiveness of transportation decision-making that better supports common goals. Access to Essential Services (Ladders of Opportunity) – The transportation planning process is used to develop and implement analytical methods that identify gaps in the connectivity of the transportation system and develop infrastructure and operational solutions that provide adequate access to essential services.

4/10/2017 Page 48 / 95 2 | Page Introduction The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for the Grand Island Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (GIAMPO) Metropolitan Planning Area is a staged, five-year schedule of transportation improvements using (or expected to use) Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) or Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funding, state funds, and other projects that have significant system impacts. The TIP is developed cooperatively by the GIAMPO Technical Advisory Committee and agencies within the GIAMPO Metropolitan Planning Area including City of Grand Island Public Works Department, Hall County Public Works Department, Village of Alda, Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR), and others agencies as transportation related projects are developed. The GIAMPO Metropolitan Planning Area is illustrated in Figure 1. Figure 1 – GIAMPO Metropolitan Planning Area Federal regulations require that each urbanized area, as a condition to receive federal capital or operating assistance, has a continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive (3-C) transportation planning process. The Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is the organization designated to carry out the 3-C process which results in plans and programs that are consistent with the comprehensively planned development of the urbanized area. The TIP, along with the Long Range Transportation Plan, is a key element of this process. The most recent transportation act, the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act) signed into law on December 4, 2015, authorizes surface transportation programs and continues the basic planning requirements. In order to remain eligible for federal transportation funding, the planning process must demonstrate that the GIAMPO Metropolitan Planning Area is in compliance with all federal requirements for metropolitan transportation planning. Grand Island Regular Session - 4/10/2017 Page 49 / 95 3 | Page Purpose of the TIP The primary purpose of this document is to provide information to FHWA, FTA, NDOR, transportation agencies, and citizens regarding the TIP development process which: • Depicts the GIAMPO priorities for the expenditure of federal funds for all transportation funding categories by federal fiscal year including highway, public transportation, bicycle, pedestrian, and transportation enhancement projects; • Provides assurance to the FHWA that the project selection process has been carried out in accordance with federal requirements, Section 134 of Title 23, U.S. Code, as amended; and • Demonstrates that the TIP is financially feasible. The Project Prioritization and Selection Process is the means by which projects move from the current Long Range Transportation Plan into the TIP for implementation. Federal Requirements for Transportation Improvement Programs The planning and programming regulations include specific requirements for development and content of TIPs which are summarized below and addressed within this document. Time Period The TIP is to cover at least a four-year period and be updated at least every four years. The financial and project tables included in this document cover FY 2018–2022. NDOR and the MPOs have established an annual update cycle for the TIP. The GIAMPO on an annual basis must submit an approved TIP to NDOR prior to June 15. Public Comments The TIP process is to provide opportunity for public review and comment on the TIP. The GIAMPO transportation planning process allows for public involvement at various points within the transportation plan and program development. The GIAMPO Public Participation Plan was adopted on November 24, 2015. Specific Project Information The TIP is to list capital and non-capital surface transportation projects to use a variety of federal funds or regionally significant projects requiring FHWA or FTA action. For each project or project phase the TIP shall include sufficient descriptive material including type of work, termini, length, total cost, amount of federal funds, and responsible agency. Line items may be used for projects that are not considered to be of appropriate scale for individual identification. A complete detailed project listing is organized by planning agency, funding sources or project type for each project. Consistency with the Long Range Transportation Plan Each project or project phase in the TIP is to be consistent with the Long Range Transportation Plan, its goals, and performance measures. For each project included in the detailed project listing, a Long Range Transportation Plan conformity reference is provided. Financial Constraint The TIP is to include a financial plan including system level estimates of costs and revenue sources that are reasonably expected to be available to adequately operate and maintain federal-aid highways and public transportation. Grand Island Regular Session - 4/10/2017 Page 50 / 95 4 | Page Prioritization Process The TIP should identify the criteria and process for prioritizing projects from the Long Range Transportation Plan for inclusion in the TIP. The Project Prioritization and Selection Process annually reviews projects for the purpose of coordinating priorities and programming projects. Status of Projects from the previous TIP The TIP should list major projects from the previous TIP that were implemented or delayed. Each section lists projects under construction, completed, delayed, or moved out of the current programming period. Transportation Control Measures and Air Quality The Grand Island Area Metropolitan Planning Area is in conformance for air quality and the state does not require a State Implementation Plan for meeting Clean Air Act requirements. The Metropolitan Planning Organization Structure The governor designates the MPOs for urban areas in the state to be responsible for carrying out the urban transportation planning process through the development of a Long Range Transportation Plan and TIP. The GIAMPO is the designated MPO for the Metropolitan Area which includes the City of Grand Island, Village of Alda, and portions of Hall and Merrick Counties. The MPO is composed of elected and appointed officials representing local, state, and federal governments and agencies having interest or responsibility in land use planning, the quality and the location of transportation facilities, transportation safety issues on all roads, and better planning and designs. The Mayor of the City of Grand Island Area is the “Chair” of the GIAMPO Policy Board. Under the Mayor, the MPO functions through a committee structure consisting of the GIAMPO Policy Board, GIAMPO Technical Advisory Committee, subcommittees which may be created to assist the TAC on various local transportation issues, and MPO administrative staff to establish and approve the Long Range Transportation Plan, TIP, and other work of the MPO. The GIAMPO Policy Board is composed of elected and appointed officials representing local, state, and federal governments or agencies having interest or responsibility in the comprehensive transportation planning process. Below is the current membership of the GIAMPO Policy Board and Technical Advisory Committee. Current Membership of the Policy Board Mayor, Jeremy L.

The boundaries of the Metropolitan Planning Area are determined by agreement between the Governor and the MPO. The GIAMPO Metropolitan Planning Area encompasses the City of Grand Island, Village of Alda, and portions of Hall and Merrick Counties. Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) The TIP is a programming document that identifies the timing and funding of all highway, bridge, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian transportation projects scheduled for implementation in the MPO planning area over a four -year period using federal transportation funds and is annually coordinated with the State-TIP process. According to federal regulations governing transportation planning, the TIP is to be a staged multi-year program of transportation improvement projects that "shall cover a period of not less than four years and be consistent with the urban area transportation plan." The TIP is directly related to the City’s, County's, and State’s Capital Improvement Programs which are brought forward at this time each year. The TIP identifies funding amounts by source of funding, jurisdictional responsibility, type of project, and year of funding for these projects. This program is a listing of priority projects which are to be carried out within the next five fiscal years which include FY 2017-2018, 2018-2019, 2019-2020, 2020-2021, 2021-2022. Projects planned for implementation beyond this time frame are not listed in this program since local funding may be tentative and federal funds for these projects cannot be obligated. Grand Island Regular Session - 4/10/2017 Page 52 / 95 6 | Page The TIP reflects the priorities and direction of the region and its state and federal partners in the transportation planning process. Projects identified in the TIP must be consistent with the projects or goals and objectives identified in the current Long Range Transportation Plan for the Grand Island Area. The TIP is part of the MPO’s effort to establish and maintain the planning process required by the federal government as a condition for receipt of federal transportation funding. This program of projects depicts the MPO’s priorities for the expenditure of federal funds for all transportation funding categories by federal fiscal year including highway, public transportation, bicycle, pedestrian, and transportation enhancement projects. The TIP document may also include, for informational purposes, non-federally funded projects occurring in the planning area. The federal government regulations require the TIP to be updated and adopted by the local MPO at least every four years. Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) The TIP becomes part of the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) by reference and the frequency and cycle for updating the TIP is compatible with STIP development and approval process. NDOR and the Nebraska MPOs have established an annual update cycle. The STIP begins as a compilation of the regional TIPs that have been adopted by the MPOs and develops into a comprehensive list of all highway (state or local) and all transit (capital or operating) projects in urban and rural areas that propose to use federal funds. All federally funded projects proposed to begin between October 1st and September 30th from all of the regional TIPs across the state are included in this STIP including federally funded projects in rural areas. The STIP is updated every year and is to include a minimum four year listing of federal-aid projects for approval by FHWA and FTA. Conformance with Long Range Transportation Plan All projects were drawn from, or are consistent with, the GIAMPO Long Range Transportation Plan (Journey 2040), State Transportation Plans and Needs Studies, and the recommendations of local governments and citizens for the TIP. The projects reflect community goals and objectives and are assigned to the appropriate staging period based on the area’s priorities, the individual project urgency, and the anticipated funding capabilities of the participating governments. The TIP document was developed in conformance with the Long Range Transportation Plan for GIAMPO. A review was undertaken to ensure transportation projects programmed in the TIP were found to be consistent with the Long Range Transportation Plan. The Long Range Transportation Plan was adopted by GIAMPO on April 26, 2016. The development of the Long Range Transportation Plan included a needs assessment and financial analysis and discussed the social, economic, and environmental impacts to consider when developing new transportation projects, and where environmentally sensitive areas are located in relation to projects identified in the horizon years or 2025 and 2040. The Long Range Transportation Plan was transmitted to NDOR and to FHWA and FTA. Types of Projects included in the TIP Federal regulations require that any transportation project within the Metropolitan Planning Area that is to be funded with U.S. Department of Transportation funds must be included in the TIP. The types of projects listed below are eligible for federal funding: Grand Island Regular Session - 4/10/2017 Page 53 / 95 7 | Page • Projects on the federal-aid system (road and bridge construction, reconstruction, resurfacing, restoration, rehabilitation, etc.). • Public transportation (vehicle maintenance and operations, capital improvement projects, public transit system construction, etc.). • Projects that are not on the federal-aid system, but may be eligible for federal funding for other reasons (e.g., bridge projects, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, etc.). The projects, however, must be linked to the transportation network. • Regional projects requiring FHWA or FTA action or projects having significant regional impacts. Project Selection The Project Prioritization and Selection Process is the means by which projects move from the current Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) into the TIP for implementation. The annual review of projects for the purpose of coordinating priorities and programming projects is documented and posted on the MPO webpage. Projects listed in the TIP typically originate in the LRTP developed by the MPO in cooperation with the respective implementing agencies involved in the planning process. Implementing agencies carry out the transportation plan’s specific elements through the programming process. As a result, the TIP serves as a strategic management tool to accomplish the objectives of the Long Range Transportation Plan. Project prioritization is an important element of the TIP, especially since the demand for federal- aid transportation projects usually exceeds the level of federal funds available for use. State highway projects in the TIP have been prioritized by NDOR. Local federal-aid highway improvement projects programmed by the City of Grand Island, Hall County, Village of Alda, and coordinating agencies have been prioritized according to resource availability. And other projects may be dependent on the availability of competitive funding using the federal Surface Transportation Program, Highway Safety Program, Transportation Alternatives Program, and FTA funds. Other selected projects are accomplished through a coordinated effort among all parties to advance projects which preserve the existing system, increase safety and efficiency of the transportation system, improve vehicle mobility and connectivity, protect and enhance the environment, and support quality of life. Readiness to proceed and financial capacity is also considered in project selection. Maintenance and Operation of Current Transportation Systems The highest priority in the selection of projects for the TIP is to ensure the adequate reconstruction, maintenance, and operation of the current transportation system. NDOR is programming three (3) projects for resurfacing and/or repairs/overlays, one (1) project for deploying gates and cameras, and construction of a 4-lane divided roadway on new alignment for a segment of US-30. The City of Grand Island has one (1) project programmed for safety improvements. Public Transportation Project Prioritization Process Public transportation projects are funded with a mix of local, state, and federal funds. The public transportation element of the TIP includes projects for the City of Grand Island’s Transit Program that collectively constitutes the Program of Projects (POP) for the City of Grand Island’s Transit Program. Approval of the TIP includes the approval of the POP for the City of Grand Island’s Transit Program. The public involvement procedures used for TIP development and amendments are used to satisfy the POP requirements for FTA Section 5307 (urban) funding. Grand Island Regular Session - 4/10/2017 Page 54 / 95 8 | Page In 2012, the City of Grand Island became the designated recipient to receive FTA Section 5307 funds. In 2013, the City of Grand Island and Hall County entered into an interlocal agreement for Hall County Public Transportation (dba Senior Citizens Industries, Inc.) to continue to operate services using unexpended FTA Section 5311(rural) funds during a transitional period. In July 2016, the City of Grand Island approved an interlocal agreement where the City of Grand Island would provide public transit services within the City of Grand Island and Hall County through a contract services with Hall Public County Transportation (dba Senior Citizens Industries, Inc.) up to a three year period. In March 2017, GIAMPO began a Regional Transit Needs and Feasibility Study. This study is scheduled to conclude in November 2017, and it will recommend a preferred alternative for a five year plan for the Grand Island urbanized area. This plan will be used by the City of Grand Island Transit Program to plan and program transit projects in future TIPs. Financial Plan Statement The projects identified in the TIP are financially constrained, meaning they can be implemented using current and proposed revenue sources based on the programs contained in the TIP. The expected and anticipated revenue sources are, therefore, reasonably expected to be in place when needed. Revenues for federally funded projects during each year are shown in the Financial Plan on page 14. Public Involvement Process The transportation planning process allows for public involvement at various points within the transportation plan and program development. This involves a series of steps from the adoption of the MPO Long Range Transportation Plan that is coordinated with the programming of projects and again for the actual construction of the transportation facilities. The critical decision points in the transportation planning process are: 1) the development of at least a 20 year transportation plan, 2) the street improvement program which identifies priorities for planned projects, 3) the development of capital improvement programs for a period of four to six years, 4) Project Design and Project Construction. The first two steps are included in the long range planning process, the third step consolidates the capital improvement programs of the City, County and State with the MPO TIP and the last step is the specific project design and development. The City and the County each have an established procedure for adopting improvement programs. Both City and County processes include review by the County Planning Commission for compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and formal advertised public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council or County Board. The consolidation of these improvement programs is coordinated in the TIP as reviewed by the GIAMPO Technical Advisory Committee before it is released for the public review and comment period. The public comments are summarized, including how the comments were addressed, and incorporated in the TIP. The GIAMPO Policy Board reviews, approves, and submits the TIP to NDOR for inclusion in the STIP. Annual Listing of Projects Pursuant to the provisions of 23 U.S.C. 134(j)(7)(B) and 49 U.S.C. 5303(c)(5)(B), the MPO has published an annual listing of projects for which federal funds have been obligated in the preceding year. These are listed in the TIP by jurisdiction within each section. The published document is available for public review from the MPO and on the MPO website under the TIP Section. Grand Island Regular Session - 4/10/2017 Page 55 / 95 9 | Page Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Federal legislation provides funds to be utilized in the Clean Air Act for non-attainment and maintenance areas for transportation programs and projects that contribute to attainment of National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Since the GIAMPO Metropolitan Planning Area is in compliance with the latest air quality standards, the MPO does not specifically program for CMAQ funding. Revising an Approved TIP/STIP Revisions are changes to a TIP/STIP that occur between their annual publications. There are two types of changes that occur under the umbrella of revision. The first is a major revision or “Amendment”. The second is a minor revision or “Administrative Modification”. Amendments An amendment is a revision to a TIP/STIP that involves a major change to a project included in the TIP/STIP. Amendments requires public review and comment and demonstration of fiscal constraint. There are four main components that can be used to determine whether a project change rises to the level of an amendment: • Project costs: Amendments are required whenever the federal-aid amount changes by 20% or $2 million, whichever is greater. For computing the % change, standard rounding procedures will be used; 19.50% and greater is considered to be 20% and therefore would require an amendment. • Additions/Deletions: Projects or phases of projects which are added or deleted from the first four years of the TIP/STIP will be processed as amendments (excluding grouped projects). • Funding sources: Adding federal funding sources or changing from one federal funding category to another (including converting advanced construction) will require an amendment. • Scope and termini changes: Substantial changes to project scope shown in the approved STIP or project termini changes greater than 0.25 mile will require an amendment. Administrative Modifications A minor revision to a TIP or STIP is an administrative modification. It includes minor changes to projects, including projects using advanced construction (AC) procedures, already included in the TIP. Administrative modifications may be made at any time and do not require public review or Policy Board action. However, the GIAMPO must demonstrate financial constraint. This includes changes such as clarifying project descriptions, reducing project costs, minor adjustments to project budgets or clerical mistakes. The following components should be used to determine if a change can be processed as an administrative modification: • Project costs: Projects in which the federal-aid and/or AC amount has been changed by less than 20% or $2 million, whichever is greater, can be processed with an Grand Island Regular Session - 4/10/2017 Page 56 / 95 10 | Page administrative modification. For purposes of this calculation federal-aid and AC amounts will be combined. • Additions/Deletions: Projects or phases of projects added to group listings explained earlier will be processed as administrative modifications. • Schedule changes: Changes in schedules to projects which are included in the first four years of the TIP/STIP will be considered administrative modifications • Funding sources: Redistribution of federal funding or AC among funding sources already listed with the project can be done with an administrative modification. • Scope and termini changes: Minor changes to project scope and termini changes of less than 0.25 mi. can be made with an administrative modification. Project termini not consistent with the Long Range Transportation will require an amendment.

Grand Island Regular Session - 4/10/2017 Page 89 / 95 Technical Advisory Committee Monday, April 10, 2017 Regular Session Item H8 Approval Recommendation of MPO Performance Measures for Transit Transit agencies (FTA Grantees) were required to establish State of Good Repair (SGR) performance targets by January 1, 2017. The City of Grand Island is the recipient of FTA 5307 funds. Since the City of Grand Island can be classified as a Tier II provider, the City has adopted the performance targets set by the Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR). After the State establishes performance targets, metropolitan planning organizations must establish performance targets within 180 days (June 30, 2017). GIAMPO staff recommendation is acknowledging the SGR performance targets set by NDOR as GIAMPO's SGR performance targets.

On July 26, 2016, FTA published the Transit Asset Management (TAM) Final Rule. You may view the Final Rule at: https://federalregister.gov/a/2016-16883 State of Good Repair The purpose of the Final Rule is to help achieve and maintain a state of good repair (SGR) for the nation’s public transportation assets. Transit asset management is a business model that uses transit asset condition to guide the optimal prioritization of funding. Currently, there is an estimated $85.9 billion transit SGR backlog. The regulations apply to all Transit Providers that are recipients or subrecipients of Federal financial assistance under 49 U.S.C. Chapter 53 and own, operate, or manage transit capital assets used in the provision of public transportation. State of Good Repair The condition in which a capital asset is able to operate at a full level of performance. A capital asset is in a state of good repair when that asset: 1. Is able to perform its designed function, 2. Does not pose a known unacceptable safety risk, and 3. Its lifecycle investments must have been met or recovered. TAM Plans Tier I vs. Tier II Applicability The Final Rule groups providers into two categories: Tier I and Tier II. TAM Plan Elements The following graphic shows the TAM Plan elements that are required by each category of provider. Since Tier II providers generally operate less complex systems, their TAM Plan requirements are not as extensive. 1. Inventory of Capital Assets 2. Condition Assessment 3. Decision Support Tools 4. Investment Prioritization 5. TAM and SGR Policy 6. Implementation Strategy 7. List of Key Annual Activities 8. Identification of Resources 9. Evaluation Plan Tier I Operates rail OR ≥ 101 vehicles across all fixed route modes OR ≥ 100 vehicles in one non- fixed route mode Tier II Subrecipient of 5311 funds OR American Indian Tribe OR ≤ 100 vehicles across all fixed route modes OR ≤ 100 vehicles in one non-fixed route mode Tier I & II Tier I Only Grand Island Regular Session - 4/10/2017 Page 92 / 95 Assets Included in Plan It is expected that all assets used in the provision of public transit will be included in the TAM Plan asset inventory. This includes (with the exception of equipment) assets that are owned by a third party or shared resources. The inventory must include all service vehicles, and any other owned equipment assets over $50,000 in acquisition value. Agencies only need to include condition assessment for assets for which they have direct capital responsibility. Plan Responsibility Tier I providers must develop and carry out their own TAM plans. Tier II providers may develop their own plans or participate in a Group Plan, which is compiled by a Group Plan Sponsor (generally the State DOT or designated §5310 recipient). Tier II §5307 sub-recipients are not required to be offered a Group Plan, but may participate in one if a Sponsor invites them. Each Transit Provider must designate an Accountable Executive to ensure that the necessary resources are available to carry out the TAM plan and the Transit Agency Safety Plan, regardless of whether it develops its own TAM Plan or participates in a Group Plan. Performance Management Asset performance is measured by asset class, which means a subgroup of capital assets within an asset category. The following table shows the distinction between what assets must be included in asset inventories and the assets for which transit providers must measure performance. Assets: Only those for which agency has direct capital responsibility Performance Measure Equipment Non-revenue support-service and maintenance vehicles Percentage of vehicles met or exceeded Useful Life Benchmark Rolling Stock Revenue vehicles by mode Percentage of vehicles met or exceeded Useful Life Benchmark Infrastructure Only rail fixed-guideway, track, signals and systems Percentage of assets in a State of Good Repair Facilities Maintenance and administrative facilities; and passenger stations (buildings) and parking facilities Percentage of assets with condition rating below 3.0 on FTA TERM Scale Useful Life Benchmark The expected lifecycle of a capital asset for a particular Transit Provider’s operating environment, or the acceptable period of use in service for a particular Transit Provider’s operating environment Target Setting Targets should be set by each transit provider or TAM plan sponsor for each applicable asset class for the coming year. Initial targets must be set by January 1, 2017 and then every fiscal year thereafter. It is recognized that Transit Providers may not have complete data while setting initial targets. To the extent feasible, targets should be supported by data such as the most recent condition data and reasonable financial projections for the future, but the overall end goal is to be in a system-wide SGR. Timeframes/Reporting TAM Plans A TAM plan must be updated in its entirety at least every 4 years, and it must cover a horizon period of at least 4 years. An initial TAM plan must be completed no later than 2 years after the Final Rule effective date. NTD Each entity developing a TAM Plan will have to report annually to FTA’s National Transit Database (NTD). This submission should include: (1) projected targets for the next fiscal year; (2) condition assessments and performance results; and (3) a narrative report on changes in transit system conditions and the progress toward achieving previous performance targets.
