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 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
Grand Island Regular Session - 5/25/2021 Page 20 / 101
Transportation Improvement Program FY 2022-2026 | 3
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 2022–2026. NDOT and the MPOs have established an
annual update cycle for the TIP. GIAMPO on an annual basis must submit an approved TIP to NDOT prior to June 15.
Public Comments
The TIP process is to provide opportunity for public review and comment on the TIP. GIAMPO’s transportation planning process allows for public involvement at various points within the transportation plan and program development. GIAMPO’s Public Participation Plan was adopted on November 24, 2015.
Specific Project Information
The TIP is to list capital and non-capital surface transportation projects to use a variety of federal funds or regionally significant projects requiring FHWA or FTA action. For each project or project phase the TIP
shall include sufficient descriptive material including description, location, length, total cost, amount of federal funds, and responsible agency. Line items may be used for projects that are not considered to be of appropriate scale for individual identification. A complete detailed project listing is organized by project
type for each project.
Consistency with the Long Range Transportation Plan
Each project or project phase in the TIP is to be consistent with the Long Range Transportation Plan, its goals, and performance measures. For each project included in the detailed project listing, GIAMPO staff cross-checks with the Long Range Transportation Plan to ensure consistency.
Grand Island Regular Session - 5/25/2021 Page 21 / 101
Transportation Improvement Program FY 2022-2026 | 4
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.

Geographic Area the TIP Covers
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 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 2021-2022, 2022-2023, 2023-2024, 2024-2025 and 2025-2026. 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 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan,
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.
Grand Island Regular Session - 5/25/2021 Page 24 / 101
Transportation Improvement Program FY 2022-2026 | 7
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 February 23, 2021. 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 2026 and 2045. 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.
Grand Island Regular Session - 5/25/2021 Page 25 / 101
Transportation Improvement Program FY 2022-2026 | 8
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 three (3) projects for highway resurfacing, two (2) project for repairs/overlays, one (1) project for wetlands mitigation and one (1) project to construct a 4-lane divided roadway on a 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, four (4) projects to widen sections of North Road, one (1) project to widen a section of Capital Avenue and a (1) Planning and Environmental on Broadwell Avenue/ 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
Grand Island Regular Session - 5/25/2021 Page 26 / 101
Transportation Improvement Program FY 2022-2026 | 9
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]
Grand Island Regular Session - 5/25/2021 Page 27 / 101
Transportation Improvement Program FY 2022-2026 | 10
• 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 2021) safety performance targets set in August 2020. The targets are:
Performance Measure Target
Number of Fatalities 241 Rate of Fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles traveled (VMT) 1.130
Number of Serious Injuries 1,408
Rate of Serious Injuries per 100 million VMT 6.507
Number of Non-motorized Fatalities and Non-motorized Serious Injuries 126.6
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.
Grand Island Regular Session - 5/25/2021 Page 28 / 101
Transportation Improvement Program FY 2022-2026 | 11
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:
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%
GIAMPO will review and program pavement and bridge projects within the Metropolitan Planning Area to contribute toward the accomplishment of these targets.
System Performance
Assessing Performance of the National Highway System, Freight Movement on the Interstate System, and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (PM-3) was identified in the FHWA Final Ruling, published in the Federal Register on January 18, 2017 (82 FR 5970). This rule establishes
performance measures to assess the performance of the Interstate and non-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:
Performance Measure Target
% of Person-Miles Traveled on the Interstate that are Reliable 94.0%
% of Person-Miles Traveled on the non-Interstate NHS that are Reliable 88.0%
Freight Reliability 1.25
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
Grand Island Regular Session - 5/25/2021 Page 29 / 101
Transportation Improvement Program FY 2022-2026 | 12
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:
Category Class Default *ULB Performance Target
Rolling Stock Cutaway bus 10 years 50% of fleet exceeds default ULB Minivan 8 years 50% of fleet exceeds default ULB
Van 8 years 50% of fleet exceeds default ULB
Equipment Automobile 8 years 75% of fleet exceeds default ULB Facilities Admin/Storage 40 years 70% of facilities rated under 3.0 on TERM scale
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.
Grand Island Regular Session - 5/25/2021 Page 30 / 101
Transportation Improvement Program FY 2022-2026 | 13
Administrative Modifications
A minor revision to a TIP or STIP is an administrative modification. It includes minor changes to projects, including projects using advanced construction (AC) procedures, already included in the TIP. Administrative modifications may be made at any time and do not require public review or Policy Board action. However, GIAMPO must demonstrate financial constraint. This includes changes such as clarifying project descriptions, reducing project costs, minor adjustments to project budgets or clerical mistakes.
The following components should be used to determine if a change can be processed as an administrative modification:
• Project costs: Projects in which the federal-aid and/or AC amount has been changed by less than 20% or $2 million, whichever is greater, can be processed with an administrative modification. For purposes of this calculation federal-aid and AC amounts will be combined.
• Additions/Deletions: Projects or phases of projects added to group listings explained earlier will be processed as administrative modifications.
• Schedule changes: Changes in schedules to projects which are included in the first four years of the TIP/STIP will be considered administrative modifications
• 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.

Introduction
What is the UPWP?
The purpose of the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) is to provide the citizens of the Grand
Island Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (GIAMPO) and all partnering governing bodies
with an outline of the Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (MPO) planned work activities for fiscal
year 2022 (July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022). The UPWP is a budget document prepared annually,
and it may be amended by the GIAMPO Policy Board as priorities and activities change.
The UPWP provides guidance and serves as a management mechanism for scheduling,
budgeting, and evaluating the planning activities of GIAMPO. The UPWP defines the major
administrative and technical work elements for a specific planning year and identifies the major
sources of funding for these projects. The primary purpose of the UPWP is to ensure adherence
to/compliance with provisions of 23 CFR 450. The UPWP guides GIAMPO in completing the work
elements that lead to the development and implementation of the Long Range Transportation
Plan (LRTP) and Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).
The work elements defined in the UPWP are reviewed and approved by GIAMPO, ONE DOT
(Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration), and the Nebraska
Department of Transportation (NDOT) who in turn have designated the City of Grand Island as
the contracting agent responsible for administering and performing these elements approved
within the program.
What is GIAMPO?
The Grand Island Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (GIAMPO) is the federally required
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) to carry out the Continuing, Cooperative, and
Comprehensive (3-C) transportation planning process for the Grand Island metropolitan region.
Responsibilities of GIAMPO include, but are not limited to:
Providing the forum for local decision-making on transportation issues of a regional nature.
Encouraging and seeking public involvement throughout the planning and development of the area’s transportation plans and programs.
Facilitating the development of all planning elements for the Metropolitan Planning Area
Submitting transportation planning documents to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and NDOT.
GIAMPO is responsible for transportation planning activities within a geographic area identified
as the Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA). GIAMPO’s MPA is comprised of the City of Grand
Island, Village of Alda, portions of Hall County, and a portion of west Merrick County. The MPA is
shown in Figure 1.

FY 2022 Unified Planning Work Program
FY 2022 Unified Planning Work Program | 5
Figure 1 – GIAMPO Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA)
GIAMPO’s structure is formed by two designated committees – Policy Board and Technical
Advisory Committee (TAC). GIAMPO staff provides support to these committees.
Policy Board
The Policy Board is the governing body of GIAMPO. It is comprised of mostly elected officials that
establish the overall policy direction for GIAMPO’s planning activities. The Policy Board has the
final responsibility of these activities, and it approves the MPO work products such as the UPWP,
LRTP, and TIP.
Technical Advisory Committee
The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) is a staff-level committee, which advises the Policy
Board on technical matters related to MPO work products, transportation policies, and other
technical studies and plans considered by GIAMPO. The TAC can establish subcommittees to
provide technical and recommendations to them on transportation-related projects or issues. In
2016, a Non-Motorized subcommittee was created to act as the advisory body to the TAC on the
development of the GIAMPO Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan.
Staff
The GIAMPO staff will be available to aid local officials and concerned citizens in implementing
transportation and various community improvement programs in an overall effort to enhance the
Grand Island Regular Session - 5/25/2021 Page 85 / 101
FY 2022 Unified Planning Work Program

area. Staff members encourage and assist local leaders in several programs, with strong
emphasis on the benefits of regional cooperation and coordination. Currently, the GIAMPO staff
involved with transportation planning consists of a MPO Program Manager supported by the
Director of Public Works/City Engineer and the Public Works staff in conjunction with the Director
of the Hall County Regional Planning Department, and administrative staff.

Federal Requirements for Transportation Planning
The Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act or "FAST Act", became law on December 4,
2015, and continues the Metropolitan Planning program. This program continues the federal
requirement of the metropolitan transportation planning process to be continuous, cooperative,
and comprehensive. The FAST Act includes ten (10) factors required for consideration in the
planning process. The UPWP includes work activities to be accomplished over fiscal year 2020
which will address these factors. The ten (10) factors are the following:
1. Support the economic vitality of the metropolitan area, especially by enabling global competitiveness, productivity, and efficiency;
2. Increase the safety of the transportation system for motorized and non-motorized users; 3. Increase the security of the transportation system for motorized and non-motorized users; 4. Increase the accessibility and mobility options available to people and for freight;
5. Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, improve the quality of life, and promote consistency between transportation improvements and State and local planned growth and economic development patterns;
6. Enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system, across and between modes, for people and freight; 7. Promote efficient system management and operation; 8. Emphasize the preservation of the existing transportation system; 9. Improve the resiliency and reliability of the transportation system and reduce or mitigate stormwater impacts of surface transportation; and 10. Enhance travel and tourism.
Planning Emphasis Areas
The FHWA and FTA have jointly issued Planning Emphasis Areas (PEAs) for federal fiscal year
2016 that are planning areas the MPOs and State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) are to
address as they develop their planning work programs. Listed here are the three strategic
objectives for surface transportation that highlight current transportation planning regulations.
Grand Island Regular Session - 5/25/2021 Page 86 / 101
FY 2022 Unified Planning Work Program
FY 2022 Unified Planning Work Program | 7
Transition to Performance Based Planning and Programming – This is the implementation of
a performance management approach to transportation planning and programming.
Promote Cooperation and Coordination across Transit Agency, MPO, and State Jurisdictions
– This is to be a coordinated approach with State DOTs, MPOs, and providers of public
planning to improve the effectiveness of transportation decision-making that better supports
common goals.
Access to Essential Services (Ladders of Opportunity) – The transportation planning process
is used to develop and implement analytical methods that identify gaps in the connectivity of
the transportation system and develop infrastructure and operational solutions that provide
adequate access to essential services.
