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, 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 - 10/19/2020 Page 16 / 146

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 - 10/19/2020 Page 17 / 146

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 Metropolitan Planning Area is the geographic area in which the metropolitan transportation
planning process must be carried out. 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 - 10/19/2020 Page 19 / 146
6 | Page
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 2020-2021, 2021-2022, 2022-2023, 2023-2024 and 2024-2025. 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.

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 and three (3) projects to widen sections of North Road and a (1) Planning and Environmental on Broadwell Ave./ UPRR.

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. 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. 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 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 2020) safety performance targets set in August 2019. 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.
Performance Measure Target Number of Fatalities 239
Rate of Fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles traveled (VMT) 1.14
Number of Serious Injuries 1,442
Rate of Serious Injuries per 100 million VMT 6.8
Number of Non-motorized Fatalities and Non-
motorized Serious Injuries
133
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%

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-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 98.6%
% 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

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:
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 - 10/19/2020 Page 26 / 146
13 | Page
• 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
• 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.

ISSUE
VOTE: MPO 2021 Targets for Safety Performance Measures
BACKGROUND
The current and previous federal transportation bills, FAST Act and MAP-21, respectively,
included a series of requirements for Transportation Performance Management (TPM). 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 five (5) performance measures for traffic safety
(see attached fact sheet). State DOTs are required to establish safety (HSIP) targets for all
five performance measures by August 31 of each year. MPOs have the option of supporting
the statewide targets, or establishing their own regional targets within 180 days of the
establishment of state targets. Therefore, all Nebraska MPOs must adopt safety targets by
February 27 of each year.
GIAMPO adopted the state’s 2020 safety performance targets set in August 2019.
GIAMPO staff recommends the support of the Nebraska Department of Transportation
(NDOT) 2020 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:
•Regarding midway progress towards the state’s 2019 safety targets, each of the five
targets was either “met” or was “better than baseline”
•Need to determine the methodology to estimate annual vehicle miles traveled (VMT)
for all public roads within the GIAMPO metropolitan planning area from 2015 to
2019, if GIAMPO would establish rate targets
•Need to process the accident data within the GIAMPO metropolitan planning area
from 2011 to 2014 to determine the 5-year rolling average for 2015, 2016, 2017, and
2018 on the five performance measures for comparative purposes and to determine
a baseline, if GIAMPO would establish targets
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS/DISCUSSION
With supporting the statewide 2021 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.

If a State has not met or made significant progress toward meeting its targets, the State must comply with the provisions set forth in 23 USC 148(i) for the subsequent fiscal year. The State shall:
1. Use obligation authority equal to the HSIP apportionment for the year prior to the target year, only for HSIP projects.
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION: Federal Law, 23 U.S.C. §409, prohibits the production of this document or its contents in discovery or its use in evidence in a State or Federal Court. The State of Nebraska has not
waived any privilege it may assert as provided by that law through the dissemination of this document and has not authorized further distribution of this document or its contents to anyone other than the
original recipient.
2. Submit an HSIP Implementation Plan that describes actions the State will take to meet or make significant progress toward meeting its targets. The HSIP Implementation Plan should guide the State's project decisions so that the
combined 148(i) provisions lead to the State meeting or making significant progress toward meeting its safety performance targets in subsequent years.
(B) Actual performance is the 5-year rolling average ending in the year for which the targets were established.
(C) Baseline performance is the 5-year rolling average that ends prior to the year in which the targets were established. Baseline performance is calculated in
order to compare whether the actual outcome was better than the baseline performance
If the State is determined to have not met or made significant progress toward meeting its CY targets, the State will have to use obligation authority equal to
the defined HSIP apportionment year only for HSIP projects in the defined implementation year and submit an HSIP Implementation Plan for the same year.

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

FHWA-SA-16-084
Grand Island Regular Session - 10/19/2020 Page 55 / 146
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.

VOTE: MPO Targets for NHS Pavement and Bridge Condition Performance Measures
BACKGROUND
The current and previous federal transportation bills, FAST Act and MAP-21, respectively,
included a series of requirements for Transportation Performance Management (TPM). 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 performance measures to assess the condition
of pavements and bridges on the National Highway System (NHS). There are four
performance measures for pavement condition and two performance measures for bridge
condition (see attached TPM fact sheets). State DOTs were required to establish
performance targets for these measures by May 20, 2018. MPOs have the option of
supporting the statewide targets, or establishing their own regional targets within 180 days
of the establishment of state targets. Therefore, all Nebraska MPOs must adopt targets for
NHS Pavement and Bridge Condition performance measures by November 17, 2018. After
two years there will be a mid-point review, at which point the targets could be adjusted for
NDOT and MPOs based on collected data. State DOTs will establish targets every four years.
GIAMPO staff recommends the support of the NDOT NHS Pavement and Bridge Condition
performance targets (see attached NDOT’s Statewide Performance Measure Targets (PM2))
as the most prudent alternative. The transportation performance management state biennial
performance report for performance period 2018-2021 is included. The core reasons for not
establishing regional targets include the following:
•The Interstate and Non-Interstate NHS routes in the GIAMPO metropolitan planning
area are State NHS routes.
•Statewide, 80.3% of pavements of the Interstate System are in Good condition.
•Statewide, 0.01% of pavements of the Interstate System are in Poor condition.
•Statewide, 58.1% of pavements of the Non-Interstate System are in Good condition.
•Statewide, 2.1% of pavements of the Non-Interstate System are in Poor condition.
•State is the owner of the NHS bridges in the GIAMPO region.
•Statewide, 56.5% of NHS bridges are classified as Good condition.
•Statewide, 1.9% of NHS bridges are classified as Poor condition.

% of Interstate pavements in Good condition
% of Interstate pavements in Poor condition
% of non-Interstate NHS pavements in Good condition
% of non-Interstate NHS pavements in Poor condition
Target Setting
State DOTs:
•Must establish targets, regardless of
ownership, for the full extent of the
Interstate and non-Interstate NHS.
•Must establish statewide 2-and 4-year
targets for the non-Interstate NHS and
4-year targets for the Interstate by May
20, 2018, and report by October 1,
2018.
•May adjust targets at the Mid
Performance Period Progress Report
(October 1, 2020).
Metropolitan Planning Organizations
(MPOs):
•Support the relevant State DOT(s) 4-
year target or establish their own by
180 days after the State DOT(s) target
is established.
Penalty Provisions
If FHWA determines the State DOT’s
Interstate pavement condition falls
below the minimum level for the most
recent year, the State DOT must obligate
a portion of National Highway
Performance Program (NHPP) and
transfer a portion of Surface
Transportation Program (STP) funds to
address Interstate pavement condition.
About Condition
•Good condition: Suggests no
major investment is needed.
•Poor condition: Suggests major
reconstruction investment is
needed.
Final Rulemaking
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) published in the Federal Register (82 FR
5886) a final rule establishing performance measures for State Departments of
Transportation (DOTs) to use in managing pavement and bridge performance on the
National Highway System (NHS). The National Performance Management Measures;
Assessing Pavement Condition for the National Highway Performance Program and
Bridge Condition for the National Highway Performance Program Final Rule addresses
requirements established by the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act
(MAP-21) and reflects passage of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST)
Act. The rule is effective May 20, 2017.

Bridge
Performance Measures
Performance Measures
% of NHS bridges by deck area classified as in Good condition
% of NHS bridges by deck area classified as in Poor condition
Condition-Based Performance Measures•Measures are based on deck area.
•The classification is based on National
Bridge Inventory (NBI) condition ratings
for item 58 -Deck, 59 -Superstructure,
60 -Substructure, and 62 -Culvert.
•Condition is determined by the lowest
rating of deck, superstructure,
substructure, or culvert. If the lowest
rating is greater than or equal to 7, the
bridge is classified as good; if is less
than or equal to 4, the classification is
poor. (Bridges rated below 7 but above
4 will be classified as fair; there is no
related performance measure.)
•Deck area is computed using NBI item
49 -Structure Length, and 52 -Deck
Width or 32 -Approach Roadway Width
(for some culverts).
Target Setting
State DOTs:
•Must establish targets for all
bridges carrying the NHS, which
includes on-and off-ramps
connected to the NHS within a
State, and bridges carrying the NHS
that cross a State border,
regardless of ownership.
•Must establish statewide 2-and 4-
year targets by May 20, 2018, and
report targets by October 1, 2018,
in the Baseline Performance Period
Report.
•May adjust 4-year targets at the
Mid Performance Period Progress
Report (October 1, 2020).
Metropolitan Planning Organizations

Other Specifics
•State DOT targets should be determined from asset management analyses and
procedures and reflect investment strategies that work toward achieving a state of good
repair over the life cycle of assets at minimum practicable cost. State DOTs may
establish additional measures and targets that reflect asset management objectives.
•The rule applies to bridges carrying the NHS, including bridges on on-and off-ramps
connected to the NHS.
•If for 3 consecutive years more than 10.0% of a State DOT’s NHS bridges’ total deck area
is classified as Structurally Deficient, the State DOT must obligate and set aside National
Highway Performance Program (NHPP) funds for eligible projects on bridges on the
NHS.
•Deck area of all border bridges counts toward both States DOTs’totals.

P10 If the State DOT reported its 2-year target for the statewide
percentage of pavements on the Non-Interstate NHS in
Good condition based on “Full Distress + IRI” data in the
2018 Baseline Performance Period Report, FHWA has
calculated an actual condition level using “Full Distress + IRI”
data. [23 CFR 490.313 (c) and (d)]
When a State DOT reported the 2-year target based on “Full
Distress + IRI” data, FHWA will use this value to determine
whether the actual condition level is equal to or better than
the established 2-year target as part of the 2-year significant
progress determination. [23 CFR 490.109(e)(2)(ii)]
58.1
P11 The 2-year target for the statewide percentage of pavements

P12 Please provide a discussion of the progress made toward
achieving the 2-year target for the statewide percentage of
pavements on the Non-Interstate NHS in Good condition. At
a minimum, this discussion should address overall progress
as of the midpoint of the performance period, and shall
include a comparison of the actual 2-year condition with the
2-year target and any reasons for differences in the actual
and target values. [23 CFR 490.107(b)(2)(ii)(B)
For State DOTs that established a 2-year target using IRI
only, the baseline value (P17), actual condition calculated
with IRI only (P18), and the 2-year target (P20) all use the
same metrics and can be compared to each other.
State DOTs that established a 2-year target using “Full
Distress + IRI” will see an actual condition value in both P18
and P19. These values must be used correctly in order to
provide a meaningful discussion of progress. [23 CFR
490.107(b)(2)(ii)(B)]
-The actual condition calculated with IRI only (P18) is ONLY
comparable to the baseline value calculated with IRI only
(P17).
-The actual condition calculated with “Full Distress + IRI”
(P19) is ONLY comparable to the State DOT’s 2-year target
established based on “Full distress + IRI” (P20).
NDOT’s 2-year target using full
distress + IRI was achieved and
exceeded. The initial target was set
based on historical condition data
and projected funding. The target
was initially set somewhat
conservatively due to limited data.
Due to a change in how cracking is
measured (previously a cracking
index vs. wheel path cracking)
historical cracking data is limited to
two years. As additional data is
obtained to establish a reliable
trend, the target will be re-
evaluated. In addition, NDOT is
currently experiencing unusual
financial instability due to impacts
of historic flooding in 2019,
reduced revenues resulting from
the Covid 19 Epidemic, and
significant construction inflation
pricing. Projected funding levels
are expected to result in a
decrease in system performance.
Given limited data and financial
uncertainty, NDOT chose to keep
the same target.
P13 The 4-year target for the statewide percentage of pavements

P15 Please provide a summary of prior accomplishments and
planned activities that will be conducted during the remainder
of the performance period to make significant progress
toward achievement of the 4-year target for the statewide
percentage of pavements on the Non-Interstate NHS in
Good condition. [23 CFR 490.107(b)(2)(ii)(F)]
NDOT’s 2-year target using full
distress + IRI was achieved and
exceeded. NDOT will continue to

comparable to the baseline value calculated with IRI only
(P17).
-The actual condition calculated with “Full Distress + IRI”
(P19) is ONLY comparable to the State DOT’s 2-year target
established based on “Full distress + IRI” (P20).
NDOT’s 2-year target using full
distress + IRI was achieved. The
initial target was set based on
historical condition data and
projected funding. The target was
initially set somewhat
conservatively due to limited data.
Due to a change in how cracking is
measured (previously a cracking
index vs. wheel path cracking)
historical cracking data is limited to
two years. As additional data is
obtained to establish a reliable
trend, the target will be re-
evaluated. In addition, NDOT is
currently experiencing unusual
financial instability due to impacts
of historic flooding in 2019,
reduced revenues resulting from
the Covid 19 Epidemic, and
significant construction inflation
pricing. Projected funding levels
are expected to result in a
decrease in system performance.
Given limited data and financial
uncertainty, NDOT chose to keep
the same target.

shall include a comparison of the actual 2-year performance
with the 2-year target and any reasons for differences in the
actual and target values. [23 CFR 490.107(b)(2)(ii)(B)]
Nebraska’s 2-year performance
was 97.5 compared to a target of
98.9. The target of 98.9 was based
on performance in 2017 alone, as
a trendline had not yet been
established when the target was
set. The 2 year performance of
97.5 shows strong reliability while
not achieving the target. The
nominal difference can be
explained by traffic congestion
variability, variable weather
impacts, etc. Nebraska has
managed to maintain its strong
reliability rate through existing high
levels of performance and
scheduled roadway improvements.

Interstate that are reliable and describe how the adjusted
target supports expectations documented in longer range
plans, such as the State asset management plan and the
long-range statewide transportation plan. [23 CFR
490.107(b)(2)(ii)(E)]
Nebraska’s adjustment to 94.0 is
based on trend analysis of
performance in 2017-2019. The
2017 performance was 98.9 and
was utilized to set the baseline
since NDOT had no previous
reliability data from which to draw a
trend. The 2018 performance was
also 98.9 before dropping to 97.4
in 2019. This drop suggests a slight
negative trend in performance,
though existing high levels of
performance and planned
improvements as part of NDOT’s
ongoing project selection process
will enable NDOT to maintain
strong performance levels. A
projection of 94.0 is consistent with
this trendline while still setting a
goal of strong reliability.

F2 Please discuss progress of the State DOT’s efforts in
addressing congestion at truck freight bottlenecks within the
State (described in § 490.107(b)(1)(ii)(E)) through
comprehensive freight improvement efforts of State Freight
Plan or MPO freight plans; the Statewide Transportation
Improvement Program and Transportation Improvement
Program; regional or corridor level efforts; other related
planning efforts; and operational and capital activities
targeted to improve freight movement on the Interstate
System.
If the State has prepared a State Freight Plan under 49
U.S.C. 70202, within the previous 2 years, then it may serve
as the basis for addressing congestion at truck freight
bottlenecks. If the State Freight Plan has not been updated
since the previous State Biennial Performance Report, then
an updated analysis of congestion at truck freight
bottlenecks must be completed. [23 CFR
490.107(b)(2)(ii)(D)]
Please upload related document(s) in the “Attachment” tab.
In 2017, the NDOT finalized its first
state freight plan. At that time,
certain aspects of the freight plan
highlighted the opportunity to
mitigate freight bottlenecks and
limit truck congestion on the state
highway system. In addition, the
mitigation of bottlenecks was
identified by freight stakeholders
as a priority for NDOT and its
freight project evaluation criteria.
Subsequently, the NDOT identified
and reported a variety of
bottlenecks to the FHWA reporting
portal in 2018, based on 1 years’
worth of data. Subsequently, the
NDOT utilized the data from 2017
to identify a variety of bottlenecks
which were provided via
attachment to the FHWA reporting
portal in 2018.
Beyond this, bottlenecks were one
of many “needs and opportunities”
identified and prioritized through
the planning process. Other
opportunities included, “Support
Freight Related Development”,
“Prepare for Future Growth”, and
“Preserve the Highway Condition”,
to name a few. Based on these
things, the State Freight Plan’s
associated Freight Investment Plan
was developed to address these
high priority opportunities. This
investment plan includes projects
along I-80, which is a prominent
freight corridor in Nebraska and is
listed as part of the National Freight
Network. . These projects are large
reconstruction projects that
maintain the existing asset and
ensure continued freight flows
across the country.
Since the reach of the freight
investment plan was limited to I-80,
Grand Island Regular Session - 10/19/2020 Page 83 / 146
Page 20 of 29
the NDOT routinely assesses
whether bottlenecks exist by
reviewing travel times and truck
travel reliability performance data.
These reviews include a high-level
review of the State (as a whole)
and its MPOs. For example, the
state’s largest MPO, which
encompasses the Omaha
metropolitan area, had a TTTR of
1.37 in 2019. As a state, TTTR
was 1.15 in 2019. In either case,
the TTTR performance was still
well below 1.5, which is considered
to be the national threshold for
reliable truck travel.
With this in mind, the NDOT has
revised its definition of a bottleneck
to reflect the national threshold.
This change is based on a
comparison of Nebraska’s
reliability to performance in other
states. As a result, this has
caused the NDOT to conclude
there are no bottlenecks in the
state. Despite this, the NDOT will
continue to monitor performance
data for bottlenecks. In addition,
this definition of bottlenecks will be
revisited with stakeholders as part
of the 2022 update of the
Nebraska State Freight Plan and
full Biennial Performance Report.

ISSUE
VOTE: MPO Targets for NHS Travel Time Reliability and Freight Reliability Performance
Measures
BACKGROUND
The current and previous federal transportation bills, FAST Act and MAP-21, respectively,
included a series of requirements for Transportation Performance Management (TPM).
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 performance measures for system
performance and freight (PM3), which are two performance measures for NHS Travel Time
Reliability and one performance measure for Freight Reliability (see attached TPM fact
sheet). State DOTs were required to establish performance targets for these measures by
May 20, 2018. MPOs have the option of supporting the statewide targets, or establishing
their own regional targets within 180 days of the establishment of state targets. Therefore,
all Nebraska MPOs must adopt targets for NHS Travel Time Reliability and Freight Reliability
performance measures by November 17, 2018. After two years there will be a mid-point
review, at which point the targets could be adjusted for NDOT and MPOs based on collected
data. State DOTs will establish targets every four years.
GIAMPO staff recommends the support of the NDOT NHS Travel Time Reliability and Freight
Reliability performance targets (see attached Mid Performance Period Progress Report) as
the most prudent alternative. The core reasons to not establishing regional targets include
the following:
•GIAMPO region outperforms the State on all performance measures.
•The Interstate and Non-Interstate NHS routes in the GIAMPO metropolitan planning
area are State NHS routes.
Nebraska PM3 Performance Measures and Target Setting
The Nebraska DOT completed their mid- performance period progress report on October 1,
2020. NDOT adjusted the targets based on data collection. The original and adjusted targets are
in the table below.

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 NHS Travel Time
Reliability and Freight Reliability performance targets. These targets will ultimately be
integrated into the GIAMPO Long Range Transportation Plan and Transportation
Improvement Program.
BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS
None.
COMMITTEE ACTION
None.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve to support state targets as the MPO NHS Travel Time Reliability and Freight
Reliability performance targets for the GIAMPO metropolitan planning area.

TRANSPORTATION
PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT
The Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) has finalized six interrelated
performance rulemakings to implement
the TPM framework established by the
Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st
Century Act (MAP-21) and the Fixing
America’s Surface Transportation (FAST)
Act.
Collectively, the rules address
challenges facing the U.S.
transportation system, including:
•improving safety
•maintaining infrastructure condition
•reducing traffic congestion
•improving efficiency of the system
and freight movement
•protecting the environment and
•reducing delays in project delivery.
The rules establish national
performance measures; State
Departments of Transportation (DOTs)
and metropolitan planning
organizations (MPOs) will
establish targets for applicable
measures. New and existing
plans will document the
strategies and investments used
to achieve the targets; progress
toward the targets will be
reported through new and
existing mechanisms.

NHS Travel Time Reliability Measures
WHAT: Measurement of travel time reliability on the Interstate and non-
Interstate National Highway System (NHS). Read the final rule in the Federal
Register [82 FR 5970 (January 18, 2017)].
WHO:State DOTs, as well as MPOs with Interstate and/or non-Interstate NHS
within their metropolitan planning area.
WHY: Through MAP-21, Congress required FHWA to establish measures to
assess performance in 12 areas, including performance on the Interstate and
non-Interstate NHS. [See 23 CFR 490.507(a)]
WHEN:Implementation differs for the Interstate and non-Interstate NHS
measures for the first performance period. State DOTs must establish 2-and 4-
year targets for the Interstate, but only a 4-year target for the non-Interstate
NHS, by May 20, 2018. Those targets will be reported in the State’s baseline
performance period report due by October 1, 2018. The State DOTs have the
option to adjust 4-year targets in their mid performance period progress report,
due October 1, 2020. For the first performance period only, there is no
requirement for States to report baseline condition/performance or 2-year
targets for the non-Interstate NHS before the mid performance period progress
report. This will allow State DOTs to consider more complete data. The process
will align for both Interstate and non-Interstate measures with the beginning of
the second performance period on January 1, 2022.
MPOs must either support the State target or establish their own quantifiable 4-
year targets within 180 days of the State target establishment.
HOW: Level of Travel Time Reliability (LOTTR) is defined as the ratio of the
longer travel times (80th percentile) to a “normal” travel time (50th percentile),
using data from FHWA’s National Performance Management Research Data Set
(NPMRDS) or equivalent. Data are collected in 15-minute segments during all
time periods between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m. local time. The measures are the
percent of person-miles traveled on the relevant portion of the NHS that are
reliable. Person-miles take into account the users of the NHS. Data to reflect the
users can include bus, auto, and truck occupancy levels.
Note: The FHWA is preparing guidance on how all rules should be implemented.
Grand Island Regular Session - 10/19/2020 Page 98 / 146
Freight Reliability Measure
WHAT: Measurement of travel time reliability on the Interstate System
(Truck Travel Time Reliability (TTTR) Index). Read the final rule in the Federal
Register [82 FR 5970 (January 18, 2017)].
WHO: State DOTs and MPOs.
WHY: Through MAP-21, Congress required FHWA to establish measures to
assess performance in 12 areas, including freight movement on the Interstate.
The measure considers factors that are unique to this industry, such as the use of
the system during all hours of the day and the need to consider more extreme
impacts to the system in planning for on-time arrivals. [23 CFR 490.607]
WHEN: State DOTs must establish 2-and 4-year targets by May 20, 2018.
Those targets will be reported in the State’s baseline performance period report
due by October 1, 2018. The State DOTs have the option to adjust 4-year targets
in their mid performance period progress report, due October 1, 2020.
MPOs must either support the State target or establish their own quantifiable 4-
year targets within 180 days of the State target establishment.
HOW: Freight movement will be assessed by the TTTR Index. Reporting is
divided into five periods: morning peak (6-10 a.m.), midday (10 a.m.-4 p.m.) and
afternoon peak (4-8 p.m.) Mondays through Fridays; weekends (6 a.m.-8 p.m.);
and overnights for all days (8 p.m.-6 a.m.). The TTTR ratio will be generated by
dividing the 95th percentile time by the normal time (50th percentile) for each
segment. The TTTR Index will be generated by multiplying each segment’s largest
ratio of the five periods by its length, then dividing the sum of all length-weighted
segments by the total length of Interstate.
State DOTs and MPOs will have the data they need in FHWA’s National
Performance Management Research Data Set (NPMRDS) as data set includes
truck travel times for the full Interstate System. State DOTs and MPOs may use an
equivalent data set if they prefer.
Note: The FHWA is preparing guidance on how all rules should be implemented.

Statewide Performance Target for the Percentage of Pavements on the Non-Interstate NHS in Good
Condition.
Question No Description Field Type
P8 The baseline statewide percentage of pavements on the
Non-Interstate NHS in Good condition. This value is from the
2018 Baseline Performance Period Report, and is the
condition derived from the latest data collected through the
beginning date of the performance period. [23 CFR
490.107(b)(1)(ii)(B)]
For the first performance period, FHWA calculated this value
using IRI only (or PSR values for road sections where speed
is less than 40 mph). [23 CFR 490.313(e)]
63.4
P9 The 2-year statewide percentage of pavements on the Non-
Interstate NHS in Good condition. This value is the actual 2-
year condition derived from the latest data collected through

For the first performance period, FHWA calculated this value
using IRI only (or PSR values for road sections where speed
is less than 40 mph). [23 CFR 490.313(e)]
P10 If the State DOT reported its 2-year target for the statewide
percentage of pavements on the Non-Interstate NHS in
Good condition based on “Full Distress + IRI” data in the
2018 Baseline Performance Period Report, FHWA has
calculated an actual condition level using “Full Distress + IRI”
data. [23 CFR 490.313 (c) and (d)]
When a State DOT reported the 2-year target based on “Full
Distress + IRI” data, FHWA will use this value to determine
whether the actual condition level is equal to or better than
the established 2-year target as part of the 2-year significant
progress determination. [23 CFR 490.109(e)(2)(ii)]
58.1
P11 The 2-year target for the statewide percentage of pavements
on the Non-Interstate NHS in Good condition for the 2018-
2021 Performance Period that was reported in the 2018
Baseline Performance Period Report. [23 CFR
490.107(b)(1)(ii)(A)]
40.0
P12 Please provide a discussion of the progress made toward
achieving the 2-year target for the statewide percentage of
pavements on the Non-Interstate NHS in Good condition. At
a minimum, this discussion should address overall progress
as of the midpoint of the performance period, and shall
include a comparison of the actual 2-year condition with the
2-year target and any reasons for differences in the actual
and target values. [23 CFR 490.107(b)(2)(ii)(B)
For State DOTs that established a 2-year target using IRI
only, the baseline value (P17), actual condition calculated
with IRI only (P18), and the 2-year target (P20) all use the
same metrics and can be compared to each other.
State DOTs that established a 2-year target using “Full
Distress + IRI” will see an actual condition value in both P18
and P19. These values must be used correctly in order to
provide a meaningful discussion of progress. [23 CFR
490.107(b)(2)(ii)(B)]
-The actual condition calculated with IRI only (P18) is ONLY
comparable to the baseline value calculated with IRI only
(P17).
-The actual condition calculated with “Full Distress + IRI”
(P19) is ONLY comparable to the State DOT’s 2-year target
established based on “Full distress + IRI” (P20).
NDOT’s 2-year target using full
distress + IRI was achieved and
exceeded. The initial target was set
based on historical condition data
and projected funding. The target
was initially set somewhat
conservatively due to limited data.
Due to a change in how cracking is
measured (previously a cracking
index vs. wheel path cracking)
historical cracking data is limited to
two years. As additional data is
obtained to establish a reliable
trend, the target will be re-
evaluated. In addition, NDOT is
currently experiencing unusual
financial instability due to impacts
of historic flooding in 2019,
reduced revenues resulting from
the Covid 19 Epidemic, and
significant construction inflation
pricing. Projected funding levels
are expected to result in a
decrease in system performance.
Given limited data and financial
uncertainty, NDOT chose to keep
the same target.
P13 The 4-year target for the statewide percentage of pavements
on the Non-Interstate NHS in Good condition for the 2018-
2021 Performance Period that was reported in the 2018

the long-range statewide transportation plan. [23 CFR
490.107(b)(2)(ii)(E)]
P15 Please provide a summary of prior accomplishments and
planned activities that will be conducted during the remainder
of the performance period to make significant progress
toward achievement of the 4-year target for the statewide
percentage of pavements on the Non-Interstate NHS in
Good condition. [23 CFR 490.107(b)(2)(ii)(F)]
NDOT’s 2-year target using full
distress + IRI was achieved and
exceeded. NDOT will continue to
employ the investment strategies
emphasizing pavement
preservation in accordance with
the approved Transportation Asset
Management Plan to meet
performance targets, maintain the
system in a state of good repair,
and make the most of scarce
taxpayer dollars.
P16 Are there any extenuating circumstance(s) beyond the State
DOT’s control that prevented it from making significant

98.9
R5 Please provide a discussion of the progress made toward
achieving the 2-year target for the statewide percent of the
person-miles traveled on the Interstate that are reliable.
At a minimum, this discussion should address overall
progress as of the midpoint of the performance period, and
shall include a comparison of the actual 2-year performance
with the 2-year target and any reasons for differences in the
actual and target values. [23 CFR 490.107(b)(2)(ii)(B)]
Nebraska’s 2-year performance
was 97.5 compared to a target of
98.9. The target of 98.9 was based
on performance in 2017 alone, as
a trendline had not yet been
established when the target was
set. The 2 year performance of
97.5 shows strong reliability while
not achieving the target. The
nominal difference can be
explained by traffic congestion
variability, variable weather
impacts, etc. Nebraska has
managed to maintain its strong
reliability rate through existing high
levels of performance and
scheduled roadway improvements.

94.0
R7b Please provide the basis for adjustment of the 4-year target
for the statewide percent of the person-miles traveled on the
Interstate that are reliable and describe how the adjusted
target supports expectations documented in longer range
plans, such as the State asset management plan and the
long-range statewide transportation plan. [23 CFR
490.107(b)(2)(ii)(E)]
Nebraska’s adjustment to 94.0 is
based on trend analysis of
performance in 2017-2019. The
2017 performance was 98.9 and
was utilized to set the baseline
since NDOT had no previous
reliability data from which to draw a
trend. The 2018 performance was
also 98.9 before dropping to 97.4
in 2019. This drop suggests a slight
negative trend in performance,
though existing high levels of
performance and planned
improvements as part of NDOT’s
ongoing project selection process
will enable NDOT to maintain
strong performance levels. A
projection of 94.0 is consistent with
this trendline while still setting a
goal of strong reliability.

and is exploring options for
investing in intermodal sites, which
could result in reduced freight
congestion.

Nebraska’s adjustment to 88.0 is
based on trend analysis of
performance in 2017-2019. The
2017 performance was 92.6, 2018
was 92.2, and 2019 was 91.3. This

F2 Please discuss progress of the State DOT’s efforts in
addressing congestion at truck freight bottlenecks within the
State (described in § 490.107(b)(1)(ii)(E)) through
comprehensive freight improvement efforts of State Freight
Plan or MPO freight plans; the Statewide Transportation
Improvement Program and Transportation Improvement
Program; regional or corridor level efforts; other related
planning efforts; and operational and capital activities
targeted to improve freight movement on the Interstate
System.
If the State has prepared a State Freight Plan under 49
U.S.C. 70202, within the previous 2 years, then it may serve
as the basis for addressing congestion at truck freight
bottlenecks. If the State Freight Plan has not been updated
since the previous State Biennial Performance Report, then
an updated analysis of congestion at truck freight
bottlenecks must be completed. [23 CFR
490.107(b)(2)(ii)(D)]
Please upload related document(s) in the “Attachment” tab.
In 2017, the NDOT finalized its first
state freight plan. At that time,
certain aspects of the freight plan
highlighted the opportunity to
mitigate freight bottlenecks and
limit truck congestion on the state
highway system. In addition, the
mitigation of bottlenecks was
identified by freight stakeholders
as a priority for NDOT and its
freight project evaluation criteria.
Subsequently, the NDOT identified
and reported a variety of
bottlenecks to the FHWA reporting
portal in 2018, based on 1 years’
worth of data. Subsequently, the
NDOT utilized the data from 2017
to identify a variety of bottlenecks
which were provided via
attachment to the FHWA reporting
portal in 2018.
Beyond this, bottlenecks were one
of many “needs and opportunities”
identified and prioritized through
the planning process. Other
opportunities included, “Support
Freight Related Development”,
“Prepare for Future Growth”, and
“Preserve the Highway Condition”,
to name a few. Based on these
things, the State Freight Plan’s
associated Freight Investment Plan
was developed to address these
high priority opportunities. This
investment plan includes projects
along I-80, which is a prominent
freight corridor in Nebraska and is
listed as part of the National Freight
Network. . These projects are large
reconstruction projects that
maintain the existing asset and
ensure continued freight flows
across the country.
Since the reach of the freight
investment plan was limited to I-80,
Grand Island Regular Session - 10/19/2020 Page 118 / 146
Page 20 of 29
the NDOT routinely assesses
whether bottlenecks exist by
reviewing travel times and truck
travel reliability performance data.
These reviews include a high-level
review of the State (as a whole)
and its MPOs. For example, the
state’s largest MPO, which
encompasses the Omaha
metropolitan area, had a TTTR of
1.37 in 2019. As a state, TTTR
was 1.15 in 2019. In either case,
the TTTR performance was still
well below 1.5, which is considered
to be the national threshold for
reliable truck travel.
With this in mind, the NDOT has
revised its definition of a bottleneck
to reflect the national threshold.
This change is based on a
comparison of Nebraska’s
reliability to performance in other
states. As a result, this has
caused the NDOT to conclude
there are no bottlenecks in the
state. Despite this, the NDOT will
continue to monitor performance
data for bottlenecks. In addition,
this definition of bottlenecks will be
revisited with stakeholders as part
of the 2022 update of the
Nebraska State Freight Plan and
full Biennial Performance Report.
