Motion adopted MPO Financial Update Zafft provided an update for State Fiscal Year 2019 - Second Quarter (October 1, 2018 – December 31, 2018). Approval of MPO Targets for Safety Performance Measures Zafft informed the Policy Board that the MPO must adopt safety performance measure targets by February 27, 2019, to be in compliance with the requirement to establish such within 180 days of the State DOT’s measures which were adopted August 31, 2018. GIAMPO staff recommended supporting the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) safety performance targets which consist of Number of fatalities, Rate of fatalities, Number of serious injuries, Rate of serious injuries, Number of non-motorized fatalities and non-motorized serious injuries. Zafft covered the NDOT safety performance targets for FY 2019, as well as the information on the Number of fatalities, Number of serious injuries, and number of non- motorized fatalities and non-motorized serious injuries in the GIAMPO planning area in comparison to the State and Hall County from 2012-2017.

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, Merrick County Highway Department, Village of Alda, Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT), and others agencies as transportation related projects are developed. The GIAMPO Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA) 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, have 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 Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) became law in 2012 which authorizes surface transportation programs and continues the basic planning requirements. The Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act), became law in 2015 and continues the Metropolitan Planning programs. These programs continue the requirement for a cooperative, continuous, and comprehensive framework for making transportation investment decisions in metropolitan areas Grand Island Regular Session - 5/28/2019 Page 20 / 122 3 | P a g e and the joint oversight by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). 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. Purpose of the TIP The primary purpose of this document is to provide information to FHWA, FTA, NDOT, 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 and public transportation 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. 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 2020–2024. NDOT and the MPOs have established an annual update cycle for the TIP. GIAMPO on an annual basis must submit an approved TIP to NDOT prior to June 15. Public Comments The TIP process is to provide opportunity for public review and comment on the TIP. GIAMPO’s transportation planning process allows for public involvement at various points within the transportation plan and program development. GIAMPO’s 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 description, location, 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 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, GIAMPO staff cross-checks with the Long Range Transportation Plan to ensure consistency. Grand Island Regular Session - 5/28/2019 Page 21 / 122 4 | P a g e 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. The financial plan is shown on page 14, which summarizes the TIP financial resources. Process for Including Projects in the TIP The TIP should specify the process to identify projects for inclusion in the TIP in coordination with the Long Range Transportation Plan. GIAMPO’s process annually coordinates with NDOT and local agencies to program projects in the TIP. 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. GIAMPO is the designated MPO for the Metropolitan Planning 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 Technical Advisory Committee 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 Roger G.

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 Grand Island Regular Session - 5/28/2019 Page 23 / 122 6 | P a g e 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 2019-2020, 2020-2021, 2021-2022, 2022-2023 and 2023-2024. 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. 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 metropolitan region. 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 and public transportation 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. NDOT 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), Regional Transit Needs Assessment and Feasibility Study, 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 NDOT and to FHWA and FTA. Grand Island Regular Session - 5/28/2019 Page 24 / 122 7 | P a g e 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: a. Projects on the federal-aid system (road and bridge construction, reconstruction, resurfacing, restoration, rehabilitation, etc.). b. Public transportation (vehicle maintenance and operations, capital improvement projects, public transit system construction, etc.). c. 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. d. Regional projects requiring FHWA or FTA action or projects having significant regional impacts. Project Selection GIAMPO’s process for including projects in the TIP is the means by which projects move from the current Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) into the TIP for implementation. This process entails annual coordination with NDOT and local agencies to identify projects for programming in the TIP. 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 LRTP’s specific elements through the TIP 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 NDOT. Local federal-aid improvement projects programmed by the City of Grand Island, Hall County, Merrick County Village of Alda, and coordinating agencies have been dependent on the availability of competitive funding using the federal Highway Safety Improvement Program, Set Aside from Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (Transportation Alternatives), 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. NDOT is programming two (2) projects for highway resurfacing, one (1) project for repairs/overlays to three US-30 bridges, and construction of a 4-lane divided roadway on new alignment for a section of US-30. The City of Grand Island is programming one (1) project programmed for safety and operational improvements at the Broadwell Avenue, State Street, and Eddy Street intersection and one (1) project to widen a section of Old Potash Highway. 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 Grand Island Regular Session - 5/28/2019 Page 25 / 122 8 | P a g e 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. 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 to continue to provide public transit services using unexpended FTA Section 5311(rural) funds during a transitional period. In April 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 with a public transportation services provider up to a three year period. This interlocal agreement was renewed in April 2019 for a term of one year with an automatic renewal thereafter for successive terms of one year each unless either the City of Grand Island or Hall County provides written notice not less than 90 days prior to the termination of the then current term. In December 2017, GIAMPO completed a Regional Transit Needs and Feasibility Study, and it recommended a preferred alternative for a five year planning horizon within 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 the TIP. 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 of Grand Island, Hall County, Merrick County, Village of Alda, and NDOT with the MPO TIP and the last step is the specific project design and development. The City of Grand Island, Hall County, Merrick County, and Village of Alda each have an established procedure for adopting improvement programs. Their 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 NDOT for inclusion in the STIP. Grand Island Regular Session - 5/28/2019 Page 26 / 122 9 | P a g e 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. 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. National Performance Management Measures With the passing of MAP-21 transportation bill, and continuing in the FAST Act, State departments of transportations (State DOT) and MPOs are required to use a performance based planning and programming approach as part of the Transportation Performance Management (TPM) program. TPM is defined as a strategic approach that uses system information to make investment and policy decisions to achieve national performance goals. As part of TPM, FHWA and FTA issued Final Rules that include National Performance Management Measures at the system level that the State DOTs and MPOs are required to incorporate into their planning processes. The applicable National Performance Management Measures to MPOs include the following:  Safety (PM-1). Highway Safety Improvement Program/Safety Performance Management Measures [23 CFR § 924, 23 CFR § 490]  Infrastructure (PM-2). Assessing Pavement Condition for the National Highway Performance Program and Bridge Condition for the National Highway Performance Program [23 CFR § 490]  System Performance (PM-3). Assessing Performance of the National Highway System, Freight Movement on the Interstate System, and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program [23 CFR § 490]  Transit Asset Management (TAM) is established to evaluate the state of good repair of transit provider capital assets for safety and operations [49 CFR § 625, 630]. Each of the above National Performance Management Measures consists of a series of performance measures and corresponding target setting requirements. When State DOTs and/or transit providers have set targets, MPOs must establish performance targets at the regional level within 180 days. MPOs have the option to set its own regional targets, or to support the targets established by State DOTs and/or transit providers. Safety FHWA published the Highway Safety Improvement Program and Safety Performance Management Measures (PM-1) Final Rules in the Federal Register on March 15, 2016. The Safety Performance Management Measures rule supports the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), as it establishes five safety performance measures to carry out the HSIP and to Grand Island Regular Session - 5/28/2019 Page 27 / 122 10 | P a g e assess serious injuries and fatalities on all public roads. State DOTs are required to establish safety (HSIP) targets for all five performance measures by August 31 of each year. GIAMPO has agreed to support the state’s annual (CY 2019) safety performance targets set in August 2018. The targets are: GIAMPO supports these targets by reviewing and programming HSIP projects within the Metropolitan Planning Area. Working in partnership with local agencies, NDOT safety investments were identified and programmed which will construct effective countermeasures to reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries. NDOT projects chosen for HSIP investment are based on crash history, roadway characteristics, and the existence of infrastructure countermeasures that can address the types of crashes present. Infrastructure Assessing Pavement Condition for the National Highway Performance Program and Bridge Condition for the National Highway Performance Program (PM-2) was identified in the FHWA Final Ruling published in the Federal Register on January 18, 2017 (82 FR 5886). This rule establishes six performance measures to assess the condition of pavement and bridges on the National Highway System (NHS) to carry out the National Highway Performance Program. State DOTs are required to establish pavement and bridge condition targets by May 20 every four years. GIAMPO has agreed to support the state’s 4-year performance period (CY 2018-2021) pavement and bridge performance targets set in May 2018. The targets are: GIAMPO will review and program pavement and bridge projects within the Metropolitan Planning Area to contribute toward the accomplishment of these targets. System Performance Assessing Performance of the National Highway System, Freight Movement on the Interstate System, and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (PM-3) was identified in the FHWA Final Ruling, published in the Federal Register on January 18, 2017 (82 FR 5970). This rule establishes performance measures to assess the performance of the Interstate and non- Performance Measure Target Number of Fatalities 239 Rate of Fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles traveled (VMT) 1.18 Number of Serious Injuries 1540 Rate of Serious Injuries per 100 million VMT 7.5 Number of Non-motorized Fatalities and Non- motorized Serious Injuries 140 Performance Measure Target % of Interstate pavements in Good condition At least 50% % of Interstate pavements in Poor condition No more than 5% % of non-Interstate NHS pavements in Good condition At least 40% % of non-Interstate NHS pavements in Poor Condition No more than 10% % of NHS bridges by deck area classified as in Good condition At least 55% % of NHS bridges by deck area classified as in Poor condition No more than 10% Grand Island Regular Session - 5/28/2019 Page 28 / 122 11 | P a g e Interstate NHS to carry out the National Highway Performance Program, freight movement on the Interstate system to carry out the National Highway Freight Program, and traffic congestion and on-road mobile source emissions for the purpose of carrying out the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) Program. There are two performance measures to assess system performance of the NHS, one performance measure to assess freight movement on the Interstate system, two performance measures to assess traffic congestion under the CMAQ program, and one performance measure to assess total emissions reductions by applicable pollutants under the CMAQ program. State DOTs are required to establish system performance, freight, and CMAQ targets by May 20 every four years. GIAMPO has agreed to the support the state’s 4-year performance period (CY 2018-2021) system performance and freight performance targets set in May 2018 (Nebraska exempt from CMAQ measures this performance period). The targets are: GIAMPO will review and program system performance and freight projects within the Metropolitan Planning Area to contribute toward the accomplishment of these targets. Transit Asset Management FTA issued a Final Rule on transit asset management (TAM) plans to evaluate the state of good repair of transit provider capital assets for safety and operations. Recipients of public transit funds–which include states, local authorities, and public transportation operators–are required to establish targets for state of good repair performance measures; to develop transit asset management and transit safety plans; and to report on their progress toward achieving targets. Public transportation operators are directed to share information with MPOs and states so that all plans and performance reports are coordinated. The Rule, “Transit Asset Management; National Transit Database,” went into effect on July 26, 2016 with the TAM plan due for transit by October 1, 2018. Transit target setting repeats annually and plans are updated every four years. The City of Grand Island (transit provider) participates in a group TAM plan, which is sponsored by NDOT. GIAMPO has agreed to establish state of good repair performance targets, which are the same targets established by NDOT and the City of Grand Island. NDOT set its targets on January 1, 2017, and the City of Grand Island set its targets on May 23, 2017. The targets are: Performance Measure Target % of Person-Miles Traveled on the Interstate that are Reliable 98.9% % of Person-Miles Traveled on the non-Interstate NHS that are Reliable 92.6% Freight Reliability 1.10 Category Class Default *ULB Performance Target Rolling Stock Cutaway bus 10 years 50% of fleet exceeds default ULB Minivan 8 years 50% of fleet exceeds default ULB Van 8 years 50% of fleet exceeds default ULB Equipment Automobile 8 years 75% of fleet exceeds default ULB Facilities Admin/Storage 40 years 70% of facilities rated under 3.0 on TERM scale Grand Island Regular Session - 5/28/2019 Page 29 / 122 12 | P a g e GIAMPO supports these targets by reviewing and programing transit projects relating to capital assets within the Metropolitan Planning Area. 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, 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 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 Grand Island Regular Session - 5/28/2019 Page 30 / 122 13 | P a g e  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.

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. In October 2018, the Technical Advisory Committee approved the proposed Amendment No. 5 to the LRTP, which included the following revisions to the plan: Highway financial projections (revenues and expenditures) in Chapter 7, Chapter 9, and Appendix C Fiscally Constrained Project Plan and Illustrative Project Plan in Chapter 9 Environmental Justice section in Chapter 8 Environmental Justice impacts for individual projects in Appendix F Figure 8-2 map (Proposed Projects with Flood Zones, Wetlands, and Public Use Areas) in Chapter 8 Performance Management section (now called 3.4 National Performance Management Measures) in Chapter 3 Amendment No. 5 did not go to the November 2018 Policy Board meeting for approval due to the passing of the City of Grand Island’s half cent sales tax increase. As a result, majority of the revisions in this amendment will need to be revised such as the highway financial projections, Fiscally Constrained Project, and Illustrative Project Plan. GIAMPO staff is on hold to make these revisions until further direction from the City of Grand Island. These revisions will likely occur in LRTP Amendment No. 6. The revised proposed Amendment No. 5 to the LRTP makes the below project changes and adjusts the fiscal constraint of the plan to include additional anticipated federal revenue and state revenue. State ID 41704 – US-281 West, Grand Island o Changing the project total estimate from $30,693 million to $29,256 (no federal- aid) State ID 42776 – In Grand Island Bridges o Changing the project federal-aid amount from $3,420 million to $3,767 million and the project total estimate from $4,648 million to $5,137 million Grand Island Regular Session - 5/28/2019 Page 64 / 122 2 State ID 42819 – In Grand Island & South (SB) o Adding a new project with a project total estimate of $2,730 million (no federal- aid) State ID 42891 – District 4 Wetland Bank o Adding a new project with a project total estimate of $903 thousand (no federal- aid) State ID 42894 – West Grand Island Interchange o Adding a new project with a project total estimate of $660 thousand (no federal- aid) State ID 42863 – 5-Points Intersections Improvements o Identifying a specific intersection improvement project with a project federal amount of $1,700 million and a project total estimate of $2,436 million.

By: Attest: ______________________________ ______________________________ Roger Steele, Mayor / Chairperson John Collins, Public Works Director Grand Island Regular Session - 5/28/2019 Page 68 / 122 28 3.4 National Performance Management Measures When Congress passed the federal transportation bill MAP-21 in July 2012, it included a series of provisions for Transportation Performance Management (TPM). In the intervening years, Congress passed the FAST Act in December 2015, which essentially maintained and reaffirmed the performance management provisions of MAP-21. Since the passage of MAP-21, FHWA and FTA have issued Final Rules that include National Performance Management Measures at the system level that the State DOTs and MPOs are required to incorporate into their planning processes. The National Performance Management Measures were developed to address the National Goals established under MAP-21 and MPOs are required to incorporate the National Performance Management Measures and the National Goals [23 CFR 134 (I)] in their LRTPs. The Federal Rules that establish the National Performance Management Measures applicable to MPOs are:  Safety (PM-1). Highway Safety Improvement Program/Safety Performance Management Measures [23 CFR § 924, 23 CFR § 490]  Infrastructure (PM-2). Assessing Pavement Condition for the National Highway Performance Program and Bridge Condition for the National Highway Performance Program [23 CFR § 490]  System Performance (PM-3). Assessing Performance of the National Highway System, Freight Movement on the Interstate System, and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program [23 CFR § 490]  Transit Asset Management (TAM) is established to evaluate the state of good repair of transit provider capital assets for safety and operations [49 CFR § 625, 630]. MPOs are to report baseline condition/performance and progress toward the achievement of their targets in the system performance report of their LRTPs [23 CFR § 490]. The National Performance Management Measures applicable to MPOs are listed below. FHWA published the Highway Safety Improvement Program and Safety Performance Management Measures (PM-1) Final Rules in the Federal Register on March 15, 2016. The Safety Performance Management Measures (Safety PM) rule supports the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), as it establishes five safety performance measures to carry out the HSIP and to assess serious injuries and fatalities on all public roads. Table 3-7 shows the five performance measures. Grand Island Regular Session - 5/28/2019 Page 69 / 122 29 Table 3-7: Safety Performance Measures Performance Measures Safety Number of Fatalities Rate of Fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles traveled (VMT) Number of Serious Injuries Rate of Serious Injuries per 100 million VMT Number of Non-motorized Fatalities and Non-motorized Serious Injuries States are required annually to establish statewide targets for each of the safety performance measures on an annual basis. MPOs must establish safety targets by either supporting a State DOT’s statewide target or establishing a numerical target specific to the MPO planning area. MPOs' targets are reported to the State DOT, which must be able to provide the targets to FHWA, upon request. The PM-1 Rule was effective as of April 14, 2016. State DOTs were required to set targets by August 31, 2017 as part of the State’s annual submission of its HSIP. MPOs were required to set targets by February 27, 2018 and incorporate them into their LRTPs. In the LRTP, performance measures are to be used to aid in making informed decisions about strategic investments and to evaluate projects. Working in partnership with local agencies, the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) safety investments are to be identified and programmed to construct effective countermeasures that will reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries. GIAMPO has agreed to support the NDOT CY 2018 targets for Safety Performance Measures as identified for HSIP investment which are based on crash history, roadway characteristics, and the existence of infrastructure countermeasures that can address the types of crashes present. As for CY 2019 targets, GIAMPO has continued to support the targets established by NDOT. Assessing Pavement Condition for the National Highway Performance Program and Bridge Condition for the National Highway Performance Program (PM-2) was identified in the FHWA Final Ruling published in the Federal Register on January 18, 2017 (82 FR 5886). This rule establishes performance measures to assess the condition of pavement and bridges on the National Highway System (NHS) to carry out the National Highway Performance Program. There are four performance measures to assess pavement condition and two performance measures to assess bridge condition. Table 3-8 shows the six performance measures. Grand Island Regular Session - 5/28/2019 Page 70 / 122 30 Table 3-8: Pavement and Bridge Condition Performance Measures Performance Measures Pavement Condition Percentage of Interstate Pavements in Good Condition Percentage of Interstate Pavements in Poor Condition Percentage of Non-Interstate NHS Pavements in Good Condition Percentage of Non-Interstate NHS Pavements in Poor Condition Bridge Condition Percentage of NHS Bridges by Deck Area Classified as in Good Condition Percentage of NHS Bridges by Deck Area Classified as in Poor Condition State DOTs are required every four years to establish 2-year and 4-year statewide targets for a 4-year performance period. MPOs must establish 4-year targets by either supporting the State DOT’s statewide target, or defining a target unique to the MPO. State DOTs will submit their established targets in a baseline report at the beginning of the performance period and report progress at the midpoint and end of the performance period. MPOs are not required to provide separate reporting to FHWA. However, State DOTs and MPOs will need to coordinate and mutually agree to a target establishment reporting process. Coordination will also be required between State DOTs and MPOs if a State DOT adjusts its 4-year target at the midpoint of the performance period. The PM-2 Rule was effective as of May 20, 2017. State DOTs were required to set targets by May 20, 2018, and MPOs are required to set targets by November 16, 2018. GIAMPO has agreed to support the NDOT 4-year performance period (CY 2018-2021) targets for Pavement and Bridge Condition Performance Measures. Assessing Performance of the National Highway System, Freight Movement on the Interstate System, and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (PM-3) was identified in the FHWA Final Ruling, published in the Federal Register on January 18, 2017 (82 FR 5970). This rule establishes performance measures to assess the performance of the Interstate and non-Interstate NHS to carry out the National Highway Performance Program, freight movement on the Interstate system to carry out the National Highway Freight Program, and traffic congestion and on-road mobile source emissions for the purpose of carrying out the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) Program. There are two performance measures to assess system performance of the NHS, one performance measure to assess freight movement on the Interstate system, two performance measures to assess traffic congestion under the CMAQ program, and one performance measure to assess total emissions reductions by applicable pollutants under the CMAQ program. Table 3-8 shows the six performance measures.

MPOs must establish 4-year targets by either supporting the State DOT’s statewide target, or defining a target unique to the MPO. State DOTs will submit its established targets in a baseline report at the beginning of the performance period and report progress at the midpoint and end of the performance period. MPOs are not required to provide separate reporting to FHWA. However, State DOTs and MPOs will need to coordinate and mutually agree to a target establishment reporting process. Coordination will also be required between State DOTs and MPOs if a State DOT adjusts its 4-year target at the midpoint of the performance period. The PM-3 Rule was effective as of May 20, 2017. State DOTs were required to set targets by May 20, 2018, and MPOs are required to set targets by November 16, 2018. GIAMPO has agreed to support the NDOT 4-year performance period (CY 2018-2021) targets for System Performance of the NHS and Freight Movement Performance Measures (Nebraska exempt from CMAQ measures this performance period). FTA issued a Final Rule on transit asset management (TAM) plans to evaluate the state of good repair of transit provider capital assets for safety and operations. Recipients of public transit funds–which include states, local authorities, and public transportation operators–are required to establish targets for state of good repair performance measures; to develop transit asset management and transit safety plans; and to report on their progress toward achieving targets. Public transportation operators are directed to share information with MPOs and states so that all plans and performance reports are coordinated. MPOs are to consider the State TAM plan and the TAM plan for their respective jurisdiction during the LRTP planning process. The Rule, “Transit Asset Management; National Transit Database,” went into effect on July 26, 2016 with the TAM plan due for transit by October 1, 2018. Transit target setting repeats Grand Island Regular Session - 5/28/2019 Page 72 / 122 32 annually and plans are updated every four years. The City of Grand Island (transit provider) participates in a group TAM plan, which is sponsored by NDOT. GIAMPO has agreed to establish state of good repair performance targets, which are the same targets established by NDOT and the City of Grand Island. NDOT set its targets on January 1, 2017, and the City of Grand Island set its targets on May 23, 2017. Grand Island Regular Session - 5/28/2019 Page 73 / 122 123 Chapter 7 FINANCIAL CAPACITY The analysis of financial resources is an important element of a long-range transportation plan. The purpose of this section is to provide an overview of transportation funds available for the Grand Island metropolitan area over the time horizon of the plan. It also explains the key elements of the financial plan, the data collected, and the assumptions made about future revenue and expenditures. The forecasts of future transportation revenues and costs are presented and summarized, including the discussion of both costs for new construction and operations and maintenance. Once these estimates are in place, GIAMPO and its planning partners can determine which improvements submitted for inclusion in the plan are financially feasible. The funding of transportation projects and services has grown more difficult over the last 10 and even 20 years. The population has increased along with the use of private vehicles. Inflation of construction materials has also increased costs. At the same time, revenues have not grown. The federal gas tax has remained constant since 1993. Some additional funding has been made possible at the state level with the passing of LB-610 which provides a gradual increase in the tax on motor fuels. The federal government addressed funding transportation in December 2015 when the President signed into law the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act, or “FAST Act.” It is the first law enacted in over 10 years that provides long-term funding certainty for surface transportation. Overall, the FAST Act largely maintains current program structures and funding shares between highways and transit. The bill increases funding by 11 percent over 5 years, but does not change the federal gas tax rate. This plan includes estimates for the amount of revenues for funding elements of this transportation plan. The revenues are categorized at three different levels: federal, state, and local. Many federal-aid projects, those projects that receive federal transportation funds, require some form of local match. As a newly formed MPO, historical information on past revenue trends was not as available, as with longer standing MPOs. For the purposes of this plan, past revenue data was obtained from the City of Grand Island, NDOR, and the counties. Based on these assumptions, $461.5 million is anticipated to be available for transportation in the GIAMPO area for all purposes over the 25-year planning period. 7.1 Local Revenues Local funding comes from various sources of taxing and bonding abilities afforded to local jurisdictions. These can include property and sales tax, special tax levies, special assessments for transportation, general fund, bonds, or other sources unique to local jurisdictions. These funds finance local transportation improvements, as well as provide a local match for federal and state transportation funds. Local revenue forecasts, including locally-collected revenue and state aid, were created based on historical trends to gain an average percent projection. Since these forecasts are based solely on historic revenue, they could change as funding mechanisms are shifted and as populations shift and affect the tax base. Sales Tax Motor Vehicle and Motor Vehicle Tax revenues are not mandated by the state to be used for transportation related expenditures; however, these revenue sources are listed Grand Island Regular Session - 5/28/2019 Page 74 / 122 131 All Public Transit Systems are eligible for funding. These funds can be used by the public transit system for operating expenses related to the provision of open-to-the-public passenger transportation. A separate allocation of state funding is available to match the federal Intercity Bus funds. The NDOR contributes approximately $100,000 in state funds for public transportation services. In the future, this allocation will change due to the change to an urbanized area. It is anticipated the state funding will decrease due to the funding category regulations for local match. 7.5 Available Funding Transportation revenues pay for the new construction and ongoing operations, maintenance, and reconstruction costs. The revenue element is an estimate of how much money will be available to spend on new transportation projects in the GIAMPO area between 2016 and 2040. Between 2016 and 2040, GIAMPO forecasts that approximately $461.5 million in transportation revenue will be available to fund operations and maintenance, reconstruction, new projects, and expanded capacity. The list of available funds from traditional roadway sources is shown in Table 7-1. The revenue estimates are based upon trends for local funds, state funds and federal funds that are expected to be obligated in the MPO area. The funding trends are based upon examining funding sources between the years 2005 through 2015. The assumption for federal funds has been limited, with federal funds shown as only the committed projects in FY2016-2025 and as TBD in the FY2026. A detailed breakdown by year and individual funding source is provided in Appendix C. Generally, federal funding from the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program(STBGP), Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation Program (BRRP) and National Highway Performance Program (NHPP) are deemed not to be available to local partners in the Grand Island Area MPO jurisdiction. These funding sources are assumed to be available only by the Nebraska Department of Roads throughout the duration of this planning document. Funding through the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) and the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) programs may be available to local partners on a limited basis for specific projects that address safety concerns, congestion issues, or projects that improve the air quality in the Grand Island Area MPO planning area. Grand Island Regular Session - 5/28/2019 Page 75 / 122 132 Table 7-1: Total Available Roadway Funds (2016-2040) Total Available Roadway Funds ($1,000) Time Period Federal State Local Total Revenues 2016-2025 $41,890 $117,752 $42,430 $202,072 2026-2040 TBD9 $169,495 $89,952 $259,447 Total $41,890 $287,247 $132,382 $461,519 Table 7-2 on the following page shows the amount of funding available for constructing new projects after the costs for personnel, operations, maintenance, reconstruction, and equipment, plus projects that have already been programed, are subtracted. 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. Grand Island Regular Session - 5/28/2019 Page 76 / 122 133 Table 7-2: Funds Available for New Roadway Projects New Roadway Project Revenue ($1,000) Time Period Federal Local / State Total Revenues 2016-2025 $0 $54,115 $54,115 2026-2040 TBD10 $113,236 $113,236 Total $0 $167,351 $167,351 Funding for transit service was also examined through the 2040 horizon year. 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. Table 7-3: Transit Revenue and Expenditures (2016-2040) Transit Revenue/Expenditure ($1,000) Time Period Federal Local / State Total Revenue 2016-2025 $5,762 $2,839 $8,602 2026-2040 $11,193 $5,765 $16,958 Total $16,956 $8,604 $25,560 10 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.

Grand Island Regular Session - 5/28/2019 Page 77 / 122 136 A noise analysis is required for federally funded Type I Projects. These project typically include capacity adding such as lane additions, a new roadway on new alignment and substantial changes in vertical or horizontal alignment (see Nebraska Noise and Analysis Abatement Policy or 23 CFR 772 for complete definition of a Type I project). If noise impacts are identified, noise abatement is considered. Noise abatement must meet feasibility and reasonableness goals as outlined in the Nebraska Noise Policy in order to be constructed. Best Management Practices shall be used to control and mitigate construction noise. It is important for local planning agencies to coordinate with developers in order to recommend setbacks for new or changed developments to prevent future noise impacts. Cultural resources would be considered under this category of environmental impact.11 If, in consultation with the Nebraska State Historic Preservation (NESHPO), it is determined that a historic resource would be adversely affected by a federal undertaking, efforts to avoid and or minimize the adverse effect would be necessary. If avoidance and minimization are not effective, then mitigation of the adverse effect would be completed. Environment Justice Areas can be described as areas where a significant portion of minority and/or low-income people live. Executive Order on Environmental Justice 12898 requires all federal agencies, including both the FHWA and FTA, to address the impact of their programs with respect to Environmental Justice. To the extent practicable and permitted by law, the Executive Order states that neither minority nor low-income populations may receive disproportionately high or adverse impacts as a result of a proposed project. In order to classify a census block group as an Environmental Justice Area, the population must have a high percentage of minority populations and/or a high percentage of low-income households when compared to the larger surrounding area. Environmental Justice Areas are considered to be areas where the minority and/or low-income population percentage is meaningfully greater than the minority and/or low-income population percentages in the larger surrounding area. The DOT-based guidelines, established from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services poverty guidelines12, were used to determine which households are low-income in the region. An Environmental Justice analysis is to compare areas within the community at-large. For this overview, 11 National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. Section 106 Identification, Evaluation and Project Effect Recommendations Grand Island Regular Session - 5/28/2019 Page 78 / 122 137 low-income households are shown to provide a general overview of areas where the rate of low-income households comprise greater than 20 percent of a census block group. A total of 16 out of 48 block groups are considered to have a high rate of low-income households, while 11 block groups have both high levels of minority populations and low-income households. Figure 8-1 displays the environmental justice areas in Grand Island and the proposed transportation projects by 2040. These areas show locations were a separate environmental justice analysis may need to be completed as projects are developed. A system level review of environmental justice impacts was conducted for projects with defined locations. To conduct this review, the following methodology was applied. Future project investments that were located entirely inside an environmental justice area was determined to have 100 percent impact in that location. Projects that abutted or crossed into environmental justice areas were assigned 50 percent to those areas. Projects that are not located adjacent to or inside areas identified as environmental justice sensitive areas were assigned zero percent impact on environmental justice areas. For the intersection improvement groupings shown in the FY2016-2025 and FY2026-2040 periods an average percentage impact was calculated based upon the location impact methodology above and then projected based upon the number of intersection improvement projects listed in the fiscally constrained program (for reference this percentage is 17 percent and 56 percent for the respective periods). Total investment impact from the intersection improvement projects was then determined by multiplying the grouped project budget by the environmental justice percentage. The individual project assignment of investment and impact percentage for individual projects is shown in Appendix F. A summary table of investment in environmental justice areas as compared total regional investment is shown on the following page in Table 8-1. As previously stated, several 2016- 2022 projects are listed with various locations that cannot be accurately mapped and assigned to reasonable locations for assessment of impact. Project locations are also shown in Figure 8-1 with the project identification numbers corresponding to the project listing shown in Appendix F. Projects located in environmental justice areas account for 67.6 percent of the total funding to be spent for the duration of this plan. Due to the large number of projects that occur in environmental justice areas, project owners are encouraged to take steps to avoid, minimize or mitigate any potential negative impacts of specific projects. Due to the small scope of many of these projects and the enhanced connectivity and access that will result at their completion it is assumed that overall the benefits of the program outweigh the burdens that may occur during project development. Special care 12 In 2016, the average household size in Grand Island, 2.7 persons, was used to determine the most a household could earn and still be considered low-income. The income levels for 2-person, $16,020, and 3-person households, $20,160, were found and multiplied by 0.7 in order to find the low-income threshold for Grand Island’s average household size, $18,918. Because the American Community Survey only provides household income data in $5,000 increments, low-income households are considered to be households earning less than $20,000. Grand Island Regular Session - 5/28/2019 Page 79 / 122 138 should be taken to accommodate low income and minority persons during the development of the individual projects to ensure that project sponsors are acting in the best interest of the public.

Transportation infrastructure inherently generates pollution from burning fossil fuels from automobiles, air travel, marine transportation, and rail. Of those sectors, farming, trucking, personal vehicles, and rail traffic are most prevalent in Grand Island. Efforts to reducing global greenhouse emissions include reducing vehicle miles traveled (VMT), reducing traffic congestion, and by driving more fuel efficient vehicles or drive vehicles that emit lower levels of pollution. The Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990, requires the EPA to set National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for pollutants deemed harmful to humans and the environment. The EPA lists the following seven pollutants as harmful.  PM10: Fine Particulates less than 10 microns in diameter.  PM2.5: Fine Particulates less than 2.5 microns in diameter.  O3: Ground level Ozone gas.  CO: Carbon Monoxide gas.  SO2: Sulfur Dioxide gas.  TRS: Total Reduced Sulfur.  NO2: Nitrogen Dioxide gas. With federal regulations, the state of Nebraska is required to monitor the ambient air quality inside its borders. Air quality sensors in both Nebraska monitor the levels of harmful gasses, particulates, and elements contained in the ambient air of the GIAMPO area. Currently, the GIAMPO area is in attainment for the above air quality standards. Should the Grand Island area be designated as non- attainment in the future, GIAMPO would need to work with the local governments and with the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality (NDEQ) to address potential issues.

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 Programs (TIP) 2016-2020, 2018-2022, 2019-2023, and 2020-2024. Between 2016 and 2024, NDOR will complete a major reconstruction on I-80 in the GIAMPO planning area, the reconstruction of US-281 between US-30 and south of Howard County line, and the replacement of three bridges on US-30. NDOR has also committed to construct a new alignment of US- 30 from west of US-281 to near County Road 20, install automated gates at I-80 interchanges, resurface N-2 from Cairo to US-281, and resurface US-281 from Stolley Park Road to north of I-80. The total cost of the committed projects, shown in Table 9-2, is estimated at $85.7 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. 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. Grand Island Regular Session - 5/28/2019 Page 82 / 122 146 Table 9-2: Committed Project Cost Committed Project Cost ($1,000) Time Period Federal State Local Total Costs 2016-2025 $41,890 $36,539 $7,319 $85,748 Note: Project Costs have been inflated to Year of Expenditure by sponsoring jurisdictions at a 4 percent increase per year per US DOT recommendations. 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 2020 (July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020). 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 Transportation (NDOT) 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 NDOT. 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 - 5/28/2019 Page 106 / 122 4 | P a g e Figure 1 – GIAMPO Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA) GIAMPO’s structure is formed by two designated 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 Non-Motorized subcommittee was created to act as the advisory body to the TAC on the development of 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 administrative staff. Grand Island Regular Session - 5/28/2019 Page 107 / 122 5 | P a g e MPO FY 2020 Staff Time Estimates Staff (equivalent staff time) Estimated Staff Months Est. Hours Professional Staff (MPO Program Manager) - Direct 11.08 1,920 Administrative Staff (Administrative Coordinator) - Direct 0.14 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 2020 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.
