Grand Island Regular Session - 2/27/2018 Page 3 / 20 2 Approval of minutes from the May 23, 2017 Policy Board Meeting Motion by Quandt to approve the minutes from the May 23, 2017 meeting, seconded by Lanfear. Upon roll call vote, all voted in favor. Motion adopted. Approval Recommendation of Final Draft TIP Amendment No. 1 to FY 2018-2022 TIP Zafft informed the Policy Board that this amendment is required to add the Five Points intersection improvements to the TIP, with a project federal-aid amount of $1.7M and a total project estimate of $2.265M. The proposed Amendment No. 1 was made available for a 15-day public comment period from October 31 to November 15, 2017. No comments were received. Lanfear commented that he is glad to see this intersection being looked at, as it is bad. He specifically mentioned the time of 3:30-4pm with school traffic, as well as truck traffic may not work for a roundabout. Collins noted this amendment will allow the option of doing this project; nothing has been designed at this point. The intersection is behind standards and does need to be addressed. Wahlgren stated NEPA requires a study and concepts to be laid out for safety funds to be used. Motion by Paulick to approve Recommendation of Final Draft TIP Amendment No. 1 to FY 2018- 2022 TIP, seconded by Quandt. Upon roll call vote, all voted in favor. Motion adopted. Approval Recommendation of Final Draft TIP Amendment No. 2 to FY 2018-2022 TIP Zafft stated this amendment adjusts the project federal-aid amount from $7.3M to $11.396M for I-80 improvements from Platte River west of Grand Island to Phillips, and the project total estimate from $8.142M to $12.708M. An amendment is required if the federal-aid amount of the project cost increases by 20% or $2M. This proposed amendment was made available for a 15-day public comment period from November 22 to December 7, 2017. No comments were received. Wahlgren noted the bridge deck membrane at Phillips, S Locust, and Highway 281 interchange will be waterproofed to preserve the deck life. If this amendment is not approved an 8 mile construction zone will become 14 miles. Motion by Lanfear to approve Recommendation of Final Draft TIP Amendment No. 2 to FY 2018-2022 TIP, seconded by Quandt. Upon roll call vote, all voted in favor. Motion adopted. Approval Recommendation of Final Draft LRTP Amendment No. 3 Zafft notified the Policy Board this amendment is necessary due to the adjusted project costs for I-80 improvements from Platte River west of Grand Island to Phillips, as discussed earlier. Modifications in Chapter 7-Financial Plan and Chapter 9-Recommended Plant of the LRTP are required. The proposed amendment was made available for a 30-day public comment period from November 8 to December 8, 2017. No comments were received. Motion by Wahlgren to approve Recommendation of Final Draft LRTP Amendment No. 3, seconded by Hehnke. Upon roll call vote, all voted in favor. Motion adopted. Grand Island Regular Session - 2/27/2018 Page 4 / 20 3 Approval Recommendation of Amendment No. 3 to the TAC Bylaws Nabity stated this amendment will add two entities as voting members to the TAC; Transit Program Manager, City of Grand Island and Central Nebraska Regional Airport Executive Director, as well as update the Nebraska Department of Roads Highway Planning Manager to Nebraska Department of Transportation Intermodal Planning Engineer or designee. This amendment will also change all the Nebraska Department of Roads titles to Nebraska Department of Transportation for existing voting or non-voting members. This item corresponds with the following (TAC and Policy Board Bylaws) in Resolution No. 2017- 15. Motion by Lanfear to approve Recommendation of Amendment No. 3 to the TAC Bylaws, seconded by O’Neill. Upon roll call vote, call voted in favor. Motion adopted. Approval Recommendation of Amendment No. 3 to the Policy Board Bylaws Nabity stated this amendment will reduce the number of Policy Board voting members of the Grand Island City Council from four members to three, and will change the NDOR title to Nebraska Department of Transportation for an existing Policy Board voting member. Mayor Jensen questioned if the council member representation at 3 is sufficient, to which Nabity stated it is, as it provides a balance between City and County representatives. Wes asked if there would be an issue having an even number on the board, to which Nabity stated it should be okay, as not all members are usually present. There have been issues filling the four City Council spots, with two frequently vacant; as well as attendance which creates a problem in getting a quorum. This item corresponds with the previous (TAC and Policy Board Bylaws) in Resolution No. 2017- 15. Joint motion with previous item by Lanfear to approve Recommendation of Amendment No. 3 to the Policy Board Bylaws, seconded by O’Neill. Upon roll call vote, all voted in favor. Motion adopted. Financial Update Zafft provided a GIAMPO financial update for State Fiscal Year 2017 - Entire year (July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017) and State Fiscal Year 2018 - First Quarter (July 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017). This update is provided to the Policy Board for each quarter. Approval Recommendation of Final Draft Summary Final Report for Regional Transit Study Nick Weander of Olsson Associates gave a presentation of the final summary report, with the recommendation to keep the system running as is for the near future due to budget constraints. Ron Depue complimented the current service and is glad to see more being done to improve it. Education and communication to the public about the service were discussed amongst the board and Mr. Depue. Mr. Depue would like to see the City conduct a study Grand Island Regular Session - 2/27/2018 Page 5 / 20 4 session, create a Transit Authority, and be creative with public/private partnerships to aid in the system improvements. Funding was noted to come from City, State and Federal, with percentages dependent upon the type of expense; operations is normally 75% Federal-State / 25% City. The draft summary report had a 15-day public comment period from October 31 to November 15, 2017, which included a public meeting on November 9, 2017. One written comment was received, however this comment did not result in changes to the content of the draft summary report. Motion by O’Neill to approve Recommendation of Final Draft Summary Final Report for Regional Transit Study, seconded by Paulick. Upon roll call vote, all voted in favor. Motion adopted. Other Business None Next Meeting Date The next meeting of the Policy Board will be on February 27, 2018 at 4:00 pm at City Hall.

Since the passage of MAP-21, USDOT has worked through the federal rulemaking process to establish a series of performance measures and corresponding target setting requirements. Generally, the performance measures relate to national goals of safety, infrastructure condition, air quality, and transportation system performance. Final USDOT rules related to TPM established 5 performance measures for traffic safety (see attached fact sheet). State DOTs were required to establish safety performance targets for all 5 measures by August 31, 2017. MPOs have the option of supporting the statewide targets, or establishing their own regional targets within 180 days of the establishment of state targets. State DOTs will update safety targets annually (by August 31), and with each update MPOs will have the option to (a) support the state targets, or (b) establish regional targets within 180 days. Therefore, all Nebraska MPOs must adopt safety performance measure targets by February 27, 2018. GIAMPO staff recommends the support of the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) safety performance targets (see attached NDOT Safety Targets) as the most prudent and feasible alternative. The core reasons to not establishing regional targets include the following: GIAMPO is a young MPO with limited staff and resources that is beginning to develop a planning data repository Need to determine the methodology to estimate annual vehicle miles traveled (VMT) for all public roads within the GIAMPO metropolitan planning area from 2012 to 2016, if GIAMPO would establish rate targets Need to process the accident data within the GIAMPO metropolitan planning area from 2008 to 2011 to determine the 5-year rolling average for 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 on the five performance measures for comparative purposes Need to further evaluate the trends in the GIAMPO region with the statewide trends POLICY CONSIDERATIONS/DISCUSSION With supporting the statewide targets, GIAMPO is agreeing to plan and program projects in a manner that contributes towards the accomplishment of the NDOT safety targets. These targets will ultimately be integrated into the GIAMPO Long Range Transportation Plan and Transportation Improvement Program. Grand Island Regular Session - 2/27/2018 Page 12 / 20 2 BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS None. COMMITTEE ACTION The TAC approved the recommendation to support the state targets as the MPO safety performance targets for the GIAMPO metropolitan planning area on February 12, 2018. RECOMMENDATION Approve to support state targets as the MPO safety performance targets for the GIAMPO metropolitan planning area. STAFF CONTACTS Allan Zafft Grand Island Regular Session - 2/27/2018 Page 13 / 20 Metropolitan Planning Organization Safety Performance Measures Fact Sheet Safety Performance Measures The Safety Performance Management Measures regulation supports the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) and requires State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) to set HSIP targets for 5 safety performance measures. This document highlights the requirements specific to MPOs and provides a comparison of MPO and State DOT responsibilities. How do MPOs establish HSIP targets? Coordination is the key for all stakeholders in setting HSIP targets. Stakeholders should work together to share data, review strategies and understand outcomes. MPOs must work with the State DOT. MPOs should also coordinate with the State Highway Safety Office, transit operators, local governments, the FHWA Division Office, National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) Regional Office, law enforcement and emergency medical services agencies, and others. By working together, considering and integrating the plans and programs of various safety stakeholders, MPOs will be better able to understand impacts to safety performance to establish appropriate HSIP targets. Coordination should start with the Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP). More information on the SHSP is available at http://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/hsip/shsp/. HSIP Safety Targets Established by MPOs 1 Number of fatalities 2 Rate of fatalities 3 Number of serious injuries 4 Rate of serious injuries 5 Number of non-motorized fatalities and non-motorized serious injuries MPOs establish HSIP targets by either: 1. agreeing to plan and program projects so that they contribute toward the accomplishment of the State DOT HSIP target or 2. committing to a quantifiable HSIP target for the metropolitan planning area. To provide MPOs with flexibility, MPOs may support all the State HSIP targets, establish their own specific numeric HSIP targets for all of the performance measures, or any combination. MPOs may support the State HSIP target for one or more individual performance measures and establish specific numeric targets for the other performance measures. If an MPO agrees to support a State HSIP target, the MPO would … If an MPO establishes its own HSIP target, the MPO would…  Work with the State and safety stakeholders to address areas of concern for fatalities or serious injuries within the metropolitan planning area  Coordinate with the State and include the safety performance measures and HSIP targets for all public roads in the metropolitan area in the MTP (Metropolitan Transportation Plan)  Integrate into the metropolitan transportation planning process, the safety goals, objectives, performance measures and targets described in other State safety transportation plans and processes such as applicable portions of the HSIP, including the SHSP  Include a description in the TIP (Transportation Improvement Program) of the anticipated effect of the TIP toward achieving HSIP targets in the MTP, linking investment priorities in the TIP to those safety targets  Establish HSIP targets for all public roads in the metropolitan planning area in coordination with the State  Estimate vehicles miles traveled (VMT) for all public roads within the metropolitan planning area for rate targets  Include safety (HSIP) performance measures and HSIP targets in the MTP  Integrate into the metropolitan transportation planning process, the safety goals, objectives, performance measures and targets described in other State safety transportation plans and processes such as applicable portions of the HSIP, including the SHSP  Include a description in the TIP of the anticipated effect of the TIP toward achieving HSIP targets in the MTP, linking investment priorities in the TIP to those safety targets FHWA-SA-16-084 Grand Island Regular Session - 2/27/2018 Page 14 / 20 Volumes for HSIP Rate Targets: MPOs that establish fatality rate or serious injury rate HSIP targets must report the VMT estimate used for such targets, and the methodology used to develop the estimate, to the State DOT. For more information on volumes for HSIP rate targets, see http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/processes/tools/technical_guidance/index.cfm. Roads addressed by MPO HSIP Targets: HSIP targets cover all public roadways within the metropolitan planning area boundary regardless of ownership or functional classification, just as State HSIP targets cover all public roads in the State. How do MPOs with multi-State boundaries establish HSIP targets? MPOs with multi-State boundaries must coordinate with all States involved. If an MPO with multi-State boundaries chooses to support a State HSIP target, it must do so for each State. For example, an MPO that extends into two States would agree to plan and program projects to contribute to two separate sets of HSIP targets (one for each State). If a multi-State MPO decides to establish its own HSIP target, the MPO would establish the target for the entire metropolitan planning area. When do MPOs need to establish these targets? States establish HSIP targets and report them for the upcoming calendar year in their HSIP annual report that is due August 31 each year. MPOs must establish HSIP targets within 180 days of the State establishing and reporting its HSIP targets. Since FHWA deems the HSIP reports submitted on August 31, MPOs must establish HSIP targets no later than February 27 of each year. Top 5 Things to Know about MPO HSIP Safety Performance Targets  All MPOs must set a target for each of the 5 HSIP Safety Performance Measures  MPOs may adopt and support the State’s HSIP targets, develop their own HSIP targets, or use a combination of both  MPOs must establish their HSIP targets by February 27 of the calendar year for which they apply  MPO HSIP targets are reported to the State DOT  MPO HSIP targets are not annually assessed for significant progress toward meeting targets; State HSIP targets are assessed annually Where do MPOs report targets? While States report their HSIP targets to FHWA in their annual HSIP report, MPOs do not report their HSIP targets directly to FHWA. Rather, the State(s) and MPO mutually agree on the manner in which the MPO reports the targets to its respective DOT(s). MPOs must include baseline safety performance, HSIP targets and progress toward achieving HSIP targets in the system performance report in the MTP. Whether an MPO agrees to support a State HSIP target or establishes its own HSIP target the MPO would include in the MTP a systems performance report evaluating the condition and performance of the transportation system with respect to the safety performance targets described in the MTP including progress achieved by the MPO in achieving safety performance targets Assessment of Significant Progress While FHWA will determine whether a State DOT has met or made significant progress toward meeting HSIP targets, it will not directly assess MPO progress toward meeting HSIP targets. However, FHWA will review MPO performance as part of ongoing transportation planning process reviews including the Transportation Management Area certification review and the Federal Planning Finding associated with the approval of the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program.
