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 - 11/24/2020 Page 16 / 167 3 | Page 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 - 11/24/2020 Page 17 / 167 4 | Page 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 - 11/24/2020 Page 19 / 167 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. Grand Island Regular Session - 11/24/2020 Page 20 / 167 7 | Page 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. Grand Island Regular Session - 11/24/2020 Page 21 / 167 8 | Page 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 Grand Island Regular Session - 11/24/2020 Page 22 / 167 9 | Page 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. Grand Island Regular Session - 11/24/2020 Page 23 / 167 10 | Page 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% Grand Island Regular Session - 11/24/2020 Page 24 / 167 11 | Page 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 Grand Island Regular Session - 11/24/2020 Page 25 / 167 12 | Page 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 - 11/24/2020 Page 26 / 167 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.

Grand Island Regular Session - 11/24/2020 Page 63 / 167 GIAMPO – Policy Board Tuesday, November 24, 2020 Regular Session Item E2 Approval of MPO Targets for Safety Performance Measures Staff Contact: Andres Gomez, MPO Program Manager Grand Island Regular Session - 11/24/2020 Page 64 / 167 1 Policy Board Agenda Report Agenda Item No. E2 November 24, 2020 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) 2021 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. Grand Island Regular Session - 11/24/2020 Page 65 / 167 2 BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS None. COMMITTEE ACTION The TAC approved the recommendation to support the state targets as the MPO safety performance targets for the GIAMPO metropolitan planning area on October 19, 2020.

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.

This document highlights the requirements specific to MPOs and provides a comparison of MPO and State DOT responsibilities. How do MPOs establish HSIP targets? Coordination is the key for all stakeholders in setting HSIP targets. Stakeholders should work together to share data, review strategies and understand outcomes. MPOs must work with the State DOT. MPOs should also coordinate with the State Highway Safety Office, transit operators, local governments, the FHWA Division Office, National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) Regional Office, law enforcement and emergency medical services agencies, and others. By working together, considering and integrating the plans and programs of various safety stakeholders, MPOs will be better able to understand impacts to safety performance to establish appropriate HSIP targets. Coordination should start with the Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP). More information on the SHSP is available at http://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/hsip/shsp/. HSIP Safety Targets Established by MPOs 1 Number of fatalities 2 Rate of fatalities 3 Number of serious injuries 4 Rate of serious injuries 5 Number of non-motorized fatalities and non-motorized serious injuries MPOs establish HSIP targets by either: 1. agreeing to plan and program projects so that they contribute toward the accomplishment of the State DOT HSIP target or 2. committing to a quantifiable HSIP target for the metropolitan planning area. To provide MPOs with flexibility, MPOs may support all the State HSIP targets, establish their own specific numeric HSIP targets for all of the performance measures, or any combination. MPOs may support the State HSIP target for one or more individual performance measures and establish specific numeric targets for the other performance measures. If an MPO agrees to support a State HSIP target, the MPO would … If an MPO establishes its own HSIP target, the MPO would…  Work with the State and safety stakeholders to address areas of concern for fatalities or serious injuries within the metropolitan planning area  Coordinate with the State and include the safety performance measures and HSIP targets for all public roads in the metropolitan area in the MTP (Metropolitan Transportation Plan)  Integrate into the metropolitan transportation planning process, the safety goals, objectives, performance measures and targets described in other State safety transportation plans and processes such as applicable portions of the HSIP, including the SHSP  Include a description in the TIP (Transportation Improvement Program) of the anticipated effect of the TIP toward achieving HSIP targets in the MTP, linking investment priorities in the TIP to those safety targets  Establish HSIP targets for all public roads in the metropolitan planning area in coordination with the State  Estimate vehicles miles traveled (VMT) for all public roads within the metropolitan planning area for rate targets  Include safety (HSIP) performance measures and HSIP targets in the MTP  Integrate into the metropolitan transportation planning process, the safety goals, objectives, performance measures and targets described in other State safety transportation plans and processes such as applicable portions of the HSIP, including the SHSP  Include a description in the TIP of the anticipated effect of the TIP toward achieving HSIP targets in the MTP, linking investment priorities in the TIP to those safety targets FHWA-SA-16-084 Grand Island Regular Session - 11/24/2020 Page 69 / 167 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.

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. Grand Island Regular Session - 11/24/2020 Page 75 / 167 2 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 Pavement and Bridge Condition performance targets. These targets will ultimately be integrated into the GIAMPO Long Range Transportation Plan and Transportation Improvement Program. BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS None. COMMITTEE ACTION The TAC approved the recommendation to support the state targets as the MPO NHS Pavement and Bridge Condition performance targets for the GIAMPO metropolitan planning area on October 19, 2020.

Data provided by Nebraska Department of Transportation. Information relating to the GIAMPO metropolitan planning area (MPA) was determined by GIAMPO staff. 1 NDOT’s Statewide Performance Measure Targets (PM2) The Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) recommends the following pavement and bridge condition targets for the state. Pavement and bridge condition performance measures are defined in accordance with the final USDOT rule on Pavement and Bridge Condition Performance Measures, authorized by 23 CFR Part 490. At least 50% of pavements of the Interstate System in Good condition. No more than 5% of pavements of the Interstate System in Poor condition. At least 40% of the Non-Interstate National Highway System (NHS) in Good condition. No more than 10% of the Non-Interstate National Highway System in Poor condition. No more than 10% of the total deck area of bridges in the state on the National Highway System is located on bridges that have been classified as structurally deficient. At least 55% of bridges on the State system and NHS in Good or Fair condition. Grand Island Regular Session - 11/24/2020 Page 77 / 167 Pavement Performance Measures Performance Measures % 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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

[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.

(Optional) 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 - 11/24/2020 Page 100 / 167 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.

Grand Island Regular Session - 11/24/2020 Page 113 / 167 GIAMPO – Policy Board Tuesday, November 24, 2020 Regular Session Item E4 Approval of MPO Targets for NHS Travel Time Reliability and Freight Reliability Performance Measures Staff Contact: Andres Gomez, MPO Program Manager Grand Island Regular Session - 11/24/2020 Page 114 / 167 1 Policy Board Agenda Report Agenda Item No. E4 November 24, 2020 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.

These targets will ultimately be integrated into the GIAMPO Long Range Transportation Plan and Transportation Improvement Program. BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS None. COMMITTEE ACTION The TAC approved the recommendation to support the state targets as the MPO NHS Travel Time Reliability and Freight Reliability performance targets for the GIAMPO metropolitan planning area on October 19, 2020. RECOMMENDATION Approve to support state targets as the MPO NHS Travel Time Reliability and Freight Reliability performance targets for the GIAMPO metropolitan planning area. STAFF CONTACTS Andres Gomez Grand Island Regular Session - 11/24/2020 Page 116 / 167 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.

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 - 11/24/2020 Page 118 / 167 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.

[23 CFR 490.107(b)(2)(ii)(E)] 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 the midpoint of the performance period.

[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.

[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. 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.

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.

(Optional) 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 - 11/24/2020 Page 138 / 167 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.
