November 23rd, 2021 ISSUE
VOTE: Draft Limited English Proficiency Plan BACKGROUND
Title VI is a Federal statute that mandates that no person shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. The federally-required Title VI Plan is a comprehensive document that guides the Grand Island Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (GIAMPO) in the provision of information and services to the public. POLICY CONSIDERATIONS/DISCUSSION
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a federal statute that states the following: “No person in the United States shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program
or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” As stated in the statute, Title VI prohibits recipients of Federal financial assistance from discriminating on the basis of race, color, or national origin in their programs or activities, and it obligates federal funding agencies to
enforce statutory compliance. Limited English Proficient (LEP) persons refer to persons for whom English is not their primary
language and who have a limited ability to read, write, speak or understand English. It includes people who reported to the U.S. Census that they speak English less than very well, not well, or not at all. According to Executive Order 13166: Improving Access to Service for Persons with Limited English Proficiency, LEP persons are entitled to language assistance under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and federal assistance recipients shall take reasonable steps to ensure meaningful access to benefits, services, information, and other important portions of their programs and activities. The Title VI Plan must comply with Federal Transit Administration on Circular 4702.1B. The Title VI Plan emphasizes the GIAMPO Title VI process and procedures, including the use of public outreach techniques and innovative strategies to specifically include Limited English
Proficiency Populations within the region. BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS
None COMMITTEE ACTION The Technical Advisory Committee approved the Draft LEP Plan on October 18th. RECOMMENDATION

Introduction
The Grand Island Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (GIAMPO) is responsible for
multimodal transportation planning and administering Federal and state transportation funds
within the urbanized area of Grand Island. As the formal transportation planning body for the
Grand Island Urbanized Area, GIAMPO defines the region’s shared vision for the multimodal
system and sets the policy direction to achieve it. GIAMPO facilitates collaboration between
member jurisdictions, including the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) and
Federal agencies, and residents so that transportation resources can be allocated in the most
efficient way possible.
In carrying out the regional transportation planning work program, GIAMPO has a responsibility
to ensure that there are meaningful opportunities for members of the public to participate in the
process, including those who do not speak English as their primary language or who are limited
in their ability to understand, speak, read or write English. Those individuals are described as
having limited English proficiency (LEP), which can impose barriers to accessing important
benefits or services, understanding and exercising certain rights, complying with applicable
responsibilities, or understanding other information provided by federally-funded programs and
activities. To address those barriers, GIAMPO takes reasonable steps to ensure that all people
have meaningful access to its programs, services and information, and at no cost to them. To
that end, GIAMPO has developed this Limited English Proficiency Plan.
Federal Laws and Policies Guiding Limited English Proficiency Plans
Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act
This act states that no person in the United States shall, on the grounds of race, color, or
national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise
subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance
(refer to 23 CFR 200.9 and 49 CFR 21). The Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 broadened the
scope of Title VI coverage by expanding the definition of the terms “programs or activities” to
include all programs or activities of Federal Aid recipients, sub-recipients, and contractors,
whether such programs and activities are federally assisted or not (Public Law 100259 [S. 557]
March 22, 1988).
Executive Order 13166: Improving Access to Service for Persons with Limited
English Proficiency
Clarifies the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 with regards to accessibility of federal
programs and services to persons who are not proficient in the English language. This executive
order stated that individuals who do not speak, read, write, or understand English well are
entitled to language assistance under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 with respect to a
particular type of service, benefit, or encounter.
Determination of Need
The U.S. Department of Transportation has outlined a four factor LEP analysis to determine the
need for language assistance measures. The four factors are:
Grand Island Regular Session - 11/23/2021 Page 12 / 101
Limited English Proficiency Plan | 2
1. The number and proportion of LEP persons served or encountered in the eligible service population.
2. The frequency with which LEP persons come into contact with GIAMPO programs, activities, or services. 3. The importance to LEP persons of GIAMPO’s program, activities, and services. 4. The resources available to GIAMPO and overall cost to provide LEP assistance.
Factor 1: Number and proportion of LEP persons in the service area
GIAMPO reviewed the American Community Survey data for people who speak English “less
than very well” as Limited English Proficient persons. Table 1 shows the extent of limited
English proficiency in the region.
Spanish is the largest non‐English language group in the service area by a large margin and is
the only LEP language group to exceed the Safe Harbor Threshold of 1,000 LEP persons or a
5% or greater proportion of LEP persons. Table 1 summarizes persons with limited English
proficiency within the Grand Island planning area.
Table 1: Persons with Limited English Proficiency in the Region
This table shows that of the 57,247 people that are 5 years and older living in the Grand Island
Area, and 6,143 had Limited English Proficiency.
Factor 2: Frequency of LEP populations’ contact with programs, activities,
services
Contact between the region’s LEP population and GIAMPO staff is more likely through the
development of the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). GIAMPO has worked through
consulting firms to conduct targeted outreach, including holding focus meetings, which included
minority and low-income community group members during the LRTP development process.
Also, written translated materials in Spanish were developed and Spanish interpreters were
available at the public open house as part of the LRTP outreach effort. Although, GIAMPO
expended considerable resources to prepare for Spanish participants with limited English
proficiency during the LRTP plan development process, very few participated.
Factor 3: Importance to LEP population of programs, services, activities
GIAMPO programs use federal funds to plan for future transportation projects, and therefore, do
not include any direct service or program that requires vital, immediate or emergency
assistance, such as medical treatment or services for basic needs (like for shelter). Further,
involvement by any citizen with the GIAMPO or its committees is voluntary. However, the

GIAMPO must ensure that all segments of the population, including LEP persons, are involved
to have had the opportunity to be consistent with the goal of the Federal Environmental Justice
program and policies.
The impact of proposed transportation investments on underserved and under-represented
population groups is part of the evaluation process in use of Federal funds in three major areas
for the GIAMPO:
1. Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP),
2. Transportation Improvement Program (TIP),
3. Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), covering 20+ years
Inclusive public participation is a priority consideration in other GIAMPO plans, studies, and
programs as well. The impacts of transportation improvements resulting from these planning
activities have an impact on all residents. Understanding and continued involvement are
encouraged throughout the process. The GIAMPO is concerned with input from all
stakeholders, and every effort is taken to make the planning process as inclusive as possible.
As a result of the LRTP process, selected projects receive approval for federal funding and
progress towards project planning and construction under the responsibility of local jurisdictions
or state transportation agencies. These state and local organizations have their own policies to
ensure LEP individuals can participate in the process that shapes where, how and when a
specific transportation project is implemented.
Factor 4: Resources available to GIAMPO and overall cost to provide LEP
assistance
GIAMPO is committed to providing translation services to people who request them and
translating its vital documents as needed to the region’s Spanish LEP population. GIAMPO will
seek creative, low-cost measures to assist LEP individuals and provide translation services
when needed, particularly when GIAMPO is engaged in Title VI or Environmental Justice
outreach as part of its major plan updates. GIAMPO will continue to monitor all requests for
translation services and flexibly respond to such requests as they occur. GIAMPO will log and
analyze all requests for translation services to more accurately budget for those services in
subsequent LEP plans.
Language Assistance Measures
GIAMPO uses Language Assistance Measures to provide meaningful, early and continuous
opportunities for all interested residents to participate in the dialogue that informs key decisions,
regardless of language barriers.
These include:
Staff
The City of Grand Island has Spanish speaking staff that are tested every year for their
language skills. These staff have agreed to be on call for assistance when immediate language
needs arise.
Grand Island Regular Session - 11/23/2021 Page 14 / 101
Limited English Proficiency Plan | 4
Online Translation
GIAMPO uses Google Translate tools for its website. This tool will prompt anyone looking at
GIAMPO’s website from a computer that is not set to English that the translation tool is
available.
Visualization Techniques
GIAMPO uses visualization techniques such as maps, charts, graphs, illustrations,
presentations at the meetings and in all types of print materials to explain concepts behind
actions and decision-making. Visualization techniques can be helpful when communicating with
LEP or low-literacy persons. GIAMPO may also use handouts and posters to display visual
information. GIAMPO will hire a consulting firm to translate handouts in Spanish during the
LRTP public involvement process, which is updated every five years.
Notification Techniques
GIAMPO notifies the media when there are opportunities for public comment or new information
is available. This includes non-English media sources.
Agendas
The agendas for all GIAMPO board meetings include instruction on how to get materials in
alternative formats. The notification reads:
Special Accommodations: Please notify the City of Grand Island at 308-385-5444 if you require
special accommodations to attend this meeting (i.e., interpreter services, large print, reader,
hearing assistance). Para asistencia en español, por favor enviar un correo electrónico a
giampo@grand-island.com
Mailing List Improvements
GIAMPO continuously updates its mailing lists and databases to maintain and initiate contact
with interested parties, targeting those traditionally underserved and/or gaps in existing
databases. GIAMPO’s mailing lists include community groups, Title VI relevant populations,
businesses, membership, and local governments. To join GIAMPO’s mailing list, contact the
MPO Program Manager at 308-389-0273.
Focus Groups
GIAMPO convenes project-specific public information sessions to solicit input from members of
the community. At all GIAMPO public outreach events, comment forms in Spanish will be
available. Additionally, based on the nature of the project or the specific location of the public
information session, where it can reasonably be expected that members of the Spanish LEP
community might be in attendance, GIAMPO will provide a Spanish interpreter for the meeting.
The reasonableness of an LEP population to attend a public meeting is tied to the
American Community Survey (ACS) data for project location, or to potential project
effects to LEP persons.

Introduction
The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for the Grand Island Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (GIAMPO) Metropolitan Planning Area is a staged, five-year schedule of
transportation improvements using (or expected to use) Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) or Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funding, state funds, and other projects that have significant system impacts. The TIP is developed cooperatively by the GIAMPO Technical
Advisory Committee and agencies within the GIAMPO Metropolitan Planning Area including City of Grand Island Public Works Department, Hall County Public Works Department, Merrick County Highway Department, Village of Alda, Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT), and others agencies as transportation related projects are developed. The GIAMPO Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA) is illustrated in Figure 1.
Figure 1 – GIAMPO Metropolitan Planning Area
Federal regulations require that each urbanized area, as a condition to receive federal capital or operating assistance, have a continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive (3-C) transportation planning process. The Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is the organization designated to carry out the 3-C process which results in plans and programs that are consistent with the comprehensively planned development of the urbanized area. The TIP, along with the Long Range Transportation Plan, is a key element of this process. The Moving Ahead for Progress in
the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) became law in 2012 which authorizes surface transportation programs and continues the basic planning requirements. The Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act), became law in 2015 and continues the Metropolitan Planning
programs. These programs continue the requirement for a cooperative, continuous, and comprehensive framework for making transportation investment decisions in metropolitan areas
Grand Island Regular Session - 11/23/2021 Page 26 / 101
Transportation Improvement Program FY 2022-2026 | 3
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 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.
Grand Island Regular Session - 11/23/2021 Page 27 / 101
Transportation Improvement Program FY 2022-2026 | 4
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.
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
Grand Island Regular Session - 11/23/2021 Page 29 / 101
Transportation Improvement Program FY 2022-2026 | 6
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
Grand Island Regular Session - 11/23/2021 Page 30 / 101
Transportation Improvement Program FY 2022-2026 | 7
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 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
Grand Island Regular Session - 11/23/2021 Page 31 / 101
Transportation Improvement Program FY 2022-2026 | 8
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 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
Grand Island Regular Session - 11/23/2021 Page 32 / 101
Transportation Improvement Program FY 2022-2026 | 9
when needed. Revenues for federally funded projects during each year are shown in the Financial Plan on page 14.
Public Involvement Process
The transportation planning process allows for public involvement at various points within the transportation plan and program development. This involves a series of steps from the adoption of the MPO Long Range Transportation Plan that is coordinated with the programming of projects
and again for the actual construction of the transportation facilities. The critical decision points in the transportation planning process are: 1) the development of at least a 20 year transportation plan, 2) the street improvement program which identifies priorities for planned projects, 3) the development of capital improvement programs for a period of four to six years, 4) project design and project construction. The first two steps are included in the long range planning process, the third step consolidates the capital improvement programs of the City of Grand Island, Hall County, Merrick County, Village of Alda, and NDOT with the MPO TIP and the last step is the specific project design and development. The City of Grand Island, Hall County, Merrick County, and Village of Alda each have an established procedure for adopting improvement programs. Their processes include review by the County Planning Commission for compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and formal advertised public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council or County Board. The consolidation of these improvement programs is coordinated in the TIP as reviewed by the
GIAMPO Technical Advisory Committee before it is released for the public review and comment period. The public comments are summarized, including how the comments were addressed, and incorporated in the TIP. The GIAMPO Policy Board reviews, approves, and submits the TIP to
NDOT for inclusion in the STIP.
Annual Listing of Projects
Pursuant to the provisions of 23 U.S.C. 134(j)(7)(B) and 49 U.S.C. 5303(c)(5)(B), the MPO has published an annual listing of projects for which federal funds have been obligated in the
preceding year. These are listed in the TIP by jurisdiction within each section. The published document is available for public review from the MPO and on the MPO website under the TIP Section.
Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ)
Federal legislation provides funds to be utilized in the Clean Air Act for non-attainment and maintenance areas for transportation programs and projects that contribute to attainment of National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Since the GIAMPO Metropolitan Planning Area is in
compliance with the latest air quality standards, the MPO does not specifically program for CMAQ funding.
National Performance Management Measures
With the passing of MAP-21 transportation bill, and continuing in the FAST Act, State departments of transportations (State DOT) and MPOs are required to use a performance based planning and programming approach as part of the Transportation Performance Management (TPM) program. TPM is defined as a strategic approach that uses system information to make investment and
policy decisions to achieve national performance goals.
Grand Island Regular Session - 11/23/2021 Page 33 / 101
Transportation Improvement Program FY 2022-2026 | 10
As part of TPM, FHWA and FTA issued Final Rules that include National Performance Management Measures at the system level that the State DOTs and MPOs are required to
incorporate into their planning processes. The applicable National Performance Management Measures to MPOs include the following:
• Safety (PM-1). Highway Safety Improvement Program/Safety Performance Management Measures [23 CFR § 924, 23 CFR § 490]
• Infrastructure (PM-2). Assessing Pavement Condition for the National Highway Performance Program and Bridge Condition for the National Highway Performance
Program [23 CFR § 490]
• System Performance (PM-3). Assessing Performance of the National Highway System,
Freight Movement on the Interstate System, and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program [23 CFR § 490]
• Transit Asset Management (TAM) is established to evaluate the state of good repair of transit provider capital assets for safety and operations [49 CFR § 625, 630].
Each of the above National Performance Management Measures consists of a series of performance measures and corresponding target setting requirements. When State DOTs and/or transit providers have set targets, MPOs must establish performance targets at the regional level within 180 days. MPOs have the option to set its own regional targets, or to support the targets established by State DOTs and/or transit providers.
Safety
FHWA published the Highway Safety Improvement Program and Safety Performance Management Measures (PM-1) Final Rules in the Federal Register on March 15, 2016. The Safety Performance Management Measures rule supports the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), as it establishes five safety performance measures to carry out the HSIP and to
assess serious injuries and fatalities on all public roads. State DOTs are required to establish safety (HSIP) targets for all five performance measures by August 31 of each year.
GIAMPO has agreed to support the state’s annual (CY 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
Grand Island Regular Session - 11/23/2021 Page 34 / 101
Transportation Improvement Program FY 2022-2026 | 11
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:
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
Grand Island Regular Session - 11/23/2021 Page 35 / 101
Transportation Improvement Program FY 2022-2026 | 12
% 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 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”.
Grand Island Regular Session - 11/23/2021 Page 36 / 101
Transportation Improvement Program FY 2022-2026 | 13
Amendments
An amendment is a revision to a TIP/STIP that involves a major change to a project included in
the TIP/STIP. Amendments requires public review and comment and demonstration of fiscal constraint. There are four main components that can be used to determine whether a project change rises to the level of an amendment:
• Project costs: Amendments are required whenever the federal-aid amount changes by 20% or $2 million, whichever is greater. For computing the % change, standard rounding procedures will be used; 19.50% and greater is considered to be 20% and therefore would require an amendment.
• Additions/Deletions: Projects or phases of projects which are added or deleted from the first four years of the TIP/STIP will be processed as amendments (excluding grouped projects).
• Funding sources: Adding federal funding sources or changing from one federal funding category to another (including converting advanced construction) will require an amendment.
• Scope and termini changes: Substantial changes to project scope shown in the approved STIP or project termini changes greater than 0.25 mile will require an amendment.
Administrative Modifications
A minor revision to a TIP or STIP is an administrative modification. It includes minor changes to projects, including projects using advanced construction (AC) procedures, already included in the
TIP. Administrative modifications may be made at any time and do not require public review or Policy Board action. However, GIAMPO must demonstrate financial constraint. This includes changes such as clarifying project descriptions, reducing project costs, minor adjustments to
project budgets or clerical mistakes. The following components should be used to determine if a change can be processed as an
administrative modification:
• Project costs: Projects in which the federal-aid and/or AC amount has been changed by less than 20% or $2 million, whichever is greater, can be processed with an administrative modification. For purposes of this calculation federal-aid and AC amounts will be combined.
• Additions/Deletions: Projects or phases of projects added to group listings explained
earlier will be processed as administrative modifications.
• Schedule changes: Changes in schedules to projects which are included in the first four
years of the TIP/STIP will be considered administrative modifications
• Funding sources: Redistribution of federal funding or AC among funding sources already

Policy Board Agenda Report Agenda Item No. E4
November 23, 2021
ISSUE VOTE: MPO 2022 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 2021 safety performance targets set in August 2020.
GIAMPO staff recommends the support of the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) 2020 safety performance targets (see attached NDOT Safety Targets) as the
most prudent and feasible alternative. The core reasons to not establishing regional
targets include the following:
•Regarding midway progress towards the state’s 2019 safety targets, each of the
five targets was either “met” or was “better than baseline”
•Need to determine the methodology to estimate annual vehicle miles traveled(VMT) for all public roads within the GIAMPO metropolitan planning area from2016 to 2020, if GIAMPO would establish rate targets
•Need to process the accident data within the GIAMPO metropolitan planningarea from 2012 to 2015 to determine the 5-year rolling average for 2016, 2017,2018, and 2019 on the five performance measures for comparative purposesand to determine a baseline, if GIAMPO would establish targets
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS/DISCUSSION With supporting the statewide 2022 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.

Metropolitan Planning Organization Safety Performance Measures Fact Sheet
Safety Performance Measures The Safety Performance Management Measures regulation supports the Highway Safety
Improvement Program (HSIP) and requires State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) and Metropolitan Planning
Organizations (MPOs) to set HSIP targets for 5 safety performance measures. This document highlights the
requirements specific to MPOs and provides a comparison of MPO
and State DOT responsibilities.
How do MPOs establish HSIP targets?
Coordination is the key for all stakeholders in setting HSIP targets.
Stakeholders should work together to share data, review strategies
and understand outcomes. MPOs must work with the State DOT.
MPOs should also coordinate with the State Highway Safety Office,
transit operators, local governments, the FHWA Division Office,
National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA)
Regional Office, law enforcement and emergency medical services
agencies, and others. By working together, considering and
integrating the plans and programs of various safety stakeholders, MPOs will be better able to understand impacts to
safety performance to establish appropriate HSIP targets. Coordination should start with the Strategic Highway Safety
Plan (SHSP). More information on the SHSP is available at http://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/hsip/shsp/.
HSIP Safety Targets Established by MPOs
1 Number of fatalities
2 Rate of fatalities
3 Number of serious injuries
4 Rate of serious injuries
5 Number of non-motorized fatalities and non-motorized serious injuries
MPOs establish HSIP targets by either: 1. agreeing to plan and program projects so that they contribute toward the accomplishment of the State DOT
HSIP target or
2. committing to a quantifiable HSIP target for the metropolitan planning area.
To provide MPOs with flexibility, MPOs may support all the State HSIP targets, establish their own specific numeric
HSIP targets for all of the performance measures, or any combination. MPOs may support the State HSIP target for
one or more individual performance measures and establish specific numeric targets for the other performance
measures.
If an MPO agrees to support a State HSIP target, the MPO would … If an MPO establishes its own HSIP target, the MPO would…
Work with the State and safety stakeholders to address areas of concern for fatalities or serious injuries within the metropolitan planning area
Coordinate with the State and include the safety performance measures and HSIP targets for all public roads in the metropolitan area in the MTP (Metropolitan Transportation Plan)
Integrate into the metropolitan transportation planning process, the safety goals, objectives, performance measures and targets described in other State safety transportation plans and processes such as applicable portions of the HSIP, including the SHSP
Include a description in the TIP (Transportation Improvement Program) of the anticipated effect of the TIP toward achieving HSIP targets in the MTP, linking investment priorities in the TIP to those safety targets
Establish HSIP targets for all public roads in the metropolitan planning area in coordination with the State
Estimate vehicles miles traveled (VMT) for all public roads within the metropolitan planning area for rate targets
Include safety (HSIP) performance measures and HSIP targets in the MTP
Integrate into the metropolitan transportation planning process, the safety goals, objectives, performance measures and targets described in other State safety transportation plans and processes such as applicable portions of the HSIP, including the SHSP
Include a description in the TIP of the anticipated effect of the TIP toward achieving HSIP targets in the MTP, linking investment priorities in the TIP to those safety targets
FHWA-SA-16-084
Grand Island Regular Session - 11/23/2021 Page 94 / 101
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.
