Upon voice vote, all voted aye, with Riehle abstaining. Motion adopted.
Approval Recommendation of Final Draft Limited English Proficiency Plan
Gomez informed the TAC that the Title VI Plan emphasizes the GIAMPO Title VI process and
procedures, including the use of public outreach techniques and innovative strategies to specially
include Limited English Proficiency Populations within the region. Title VI is a Federal statute that
mandates any program or activing receiving Federal financial assistance does not discriminate on the
basis of race, color, or national origin and obligates federal funding agencies to enforce statutory
compliance. Gomez did specify this plan specifically tracks MPO activities.
Motion by Collins to approve the Recommendation of Final Draft Limited English Proficiency Plan,
seconded by Falmlen. Upon voice vote, all voted aye. Motion adopted.
Approval Recommendation of Final Draft TIP Amendment No. 1 to FY 2022-2026 TIP
Gomez stated Amendment No. 1 to the 2022-2026 TIP includes changes to one (1) transit and seven
(7) roadway projects. GIAMPO’s Public Participation Plan requires that proposed amendments to the
TIP be released for public review and comment prior to Policy Board adoption. Projects in the
proposed Amendment No. 1 are financially constrained, and consistent with the currently adopted
Long Range Transportation Plan.
Motion by Riehle to approve the Recommendation of Final Draft TIP Amendment NO. 1 to FY 2022-
20226 TIP, seconded by Falmlen. Upon voice vote, all voted aye. Motion adopted.
Approval Recommendation of Final Draft LRTP Amendment No. 2
Gomez informed the committee that the LRTP Amendment No. 2 adds three (3) new projects and
requires modifications in Chapter 9- Fiscally Constrained Plan, Table 9-1 (Committed Roadway
Projects). GIAMPO’s Public Participation Plan requires that proposed amendments to the TIP be
released for public review and comment prior to Policy Board adoption.
Motion by Wahlgren to approve the Recommendation of Final Draft LRTP Amendment No. 2,
seconded by Collins. Upon voice vote, all voted aye. Motion adopted.
Approval Recommendation of MPO Targets for Safety Performance Measures
Gomez recommended supporting the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) 2021 safety
performance targets as the most prudent and feasible alternative. With supporting the statewide
2021 targets, GIAMPO is agreeing to plan and program projects in a manner that contributes towards
the accomplishment of the NDOT safety targets. These targets will ultimately be integrated into the
GIAMPO Long Range Transportation Plan and Transportation Improvement Program.
Motion by Olson to approve Recommendation of MPO Targets for Safety Performance Measures,

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 Fixing America's Surface
Transportation Act or "FAST Act" became law in 2015 which authorizes surface transportation programs and continues the basic planning requirements. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) (also known as the “Bipartisan Infrastructure Law”), became law in 2021 and continues
the Metropolitan Planning programs.These programs continue the requirement for a cooperative, continuous, and comprehensive framework for making transportation investment decisions in
Grand Island Regular Session - 4/11/2022 Page 21 / 97
Transportation Improvement Program FY 2023-2027 | 4
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 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 2023–2027. 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 - 4/11/2022 Page 22 / 97
Transportation Improvement Program FY 2023-2027 | 5
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 17, 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.

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 2022-2023, 2023-2024, 2024-2025, 2025-2026 and 2026-2027. 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 - 4/11/2022 Page 25 / 97
Transportation Improvement Program FY 2023-2027 | 8
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
Grand Island Regular Session - 4/11/2022 Page 26 / 97
Transportation Improvement Program FY 2023-2027 | 9
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 four (4) 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, one (1) project to widen a section of Old Potash Highway, three (3) projects to widen sections of North Road, one (1) project to widen a section of Capital Avenue, one (1) project to reconstruct a section of Locust Street, one (1) project to construct an extension
of Claude Road and one (1) project to conduct an Planning and Environmental Study 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 17.
Grand Island Regular Session - 4/11/2022 Page 27 / 97
Transportation Improvement Program FY 2023-2027 | 10
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 the FAST Act transportation bill, and continuing in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs 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
Grand Island Regular Session - 4/11/2022 Page 28 / 97
Transportation Improvement Program FY 2023-2027 | 11
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].
• Transit Safety is established to focus on improving transit safety performance for all modes of public transportation through the reduction of safety events, fatalities and injuries [49 CFR § 673]. 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 2022) safety performance targets set in
August 2021. The targets are:
Performance Measure Target (2017-2022)*
Number of Fatalities 249.0
Rate of Fatalities per 100 million VMT** 1.270
Number of Serious Injuries 1,358.0
Rate of Serious Injuries per 100 million VMT 6.323
Number of Non-motorized Fatalities and Non-motorized Serious Injuries 121.4
Source: Nebraska Department of Transportation
*Statewide performance is recorded as a 5-year rolling average
**VMT is vehicles miles traveled
Grand Island Regular Session - 4/11/2022 Page 29 / 97
Transportation Improvement Program FY 2023-2027 | 12
GIAMPO supports these targets by reviewing and programming HSIP projects within the Metropolitan Planning Area. Working in partnership with local agencies, NDOT safety investments
were identified and programmed which will construct effective countermeasures to reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries. NDOT projects chosen for HSIP investment are based on crash history, roadway characteristics, and the existence of infrastructure countermeasures that can address the types of crashes present.
Infrastructure
Assessing Pavement Condition for the National Highway Performance Program and Bridge Condition for the National Highway Performance Program (PM-2) was identified in the FHWA
Final Ruling published in the Federal Register on January 18, 2017 (82 FR 5886). This rule establishes six performance measures to assess the condition of pavement and bridges on the National Highway System (NHS) to carry out the National Highway Performance Program. State
DOTs are required to establish pavement and bridge condition targets by May 20 every four years. GIAMPO has agreed to support the state’s 4-year performance period (CY 2018-2021) pavement
and bridge performance targets set in May 2018. NDOT adopted adjustments to their established 4-year performance period in September 2020. GIAMPO has agreed to support the adjustments by the State. The targets are:
Performance Measure 4-Year Target 2018-2021 4-Year Adjustment
% of Interstate pavements in Good condition ≥50% No Change
% of Interstate pavements in Poor condition ≤5% No Change
% of non-Interstate NHS pavements in Good condition ≥40% No Change
% of non-Interstate NHS pavements in Poor condition ≤10% No Change
% of NHS bridges by deck area classified as in Good condition ≥55% No Change
% of NHS bridges by deck area classified as in Poor condition ≤10% No Change
Source: Nebraska Department of Transportation
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
Grand Island Regular Session - 4/11/2022 Page 30 / 97
Transportation Improvement Program FY 2023-2027 | 13
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). NDOT adopted adjustments to their established 4-year performance period in September 2020. GIAMPO has agreed to support the adjustments by the State. The targets are:
Performance Measure 4-Year Target 2018-2021
4-Year Adjustment
% of Person-Miles Traveled on the Interstate that are Reliable 98.9% 94.0%
% of Person-Miles Traveled on the non-Interstate NHS that are Reliable 92.6% 88.0%
% of Mileage Traveled on the Interstate that are Reliable (Freight Reliability) 1.10 1.25%
Source: Nebraska Department of Transportation
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:

GIAMPO supports these targets by reviewing and programing transit projects relating to capital assets within the Metropolitan Planning Area.
Transit Safety
Under the Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan (PTASP) Final Rule, public transit agencies receiving federal funds under the FTA’s Urbanized Area Formula Grants are required to publish safety plans that include processes and procedures to implement Safety Management Systems
(SMS). As part of these PTASP plans, public transit agencies must include performance targets based on the safety performance measures established in the National Public Transportation Safety Plan for their operations. Public transit agencies are required to have their PTASP plans in place by December 31, 2020 and share the safety performance targets with their MPO and State. The CRANE Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan was completed in December 2020. The safety targets for CRANE Public Transit are identified in the Long Range Transportation Plan. The targets are:

Revising an Approved TIP/STIP
Revisions are changes to a TIP/STIP that occur between their annual publications. There are two types of changes that occur under the umbrella of revision. The first is a major revision or “Amendment”. The second is a minor revision or “Administrative Modification”.
Amendments
An amendment is a revision to a TIP/STIP that involves a major change to a project included in the TIP/STIP. Amendments requires public review and comment and demonstration of fiscal constraint. There are four main components that can be used to determine whether a project change rises to the level of an amendment:
• Project costs: Amendments are required whenever the federal-aid amount changes by 20% or $2 million, whichever is greater. For computing the % change, standard rounding procedures will be used; 19.50% and greater is considered to be 20% and therefore would require an amendment.
• Additions/Deletions: Projects or phases of projects which are added or deleted from the first four years of the TIP/STIP will be processed as amendments (excluding grouped projects).
• Funding sources: Adding federal funding sources or changing from one federal funding category to another (including converting advanced construction) will require an amendment.
• Scope and termini changes: Substantial changes to project scope shown in the approved STIP or project termini changes greater than 0.25 mile will require an amendment.
Administrative Modifications
A minor revision to a TIP or STIP is an administrative modification. It includes minor changes to projects, including projects using advanced construction (AC) procedures, already included in the
TIP. Administrative modifications may be made at any time and do not require public review or Policy Board action. However, GIAMPO must demonstrate financial constraint. This includes changes such as clarifying project descriptions, reducing project costs, minor adjustments to
project budgets or clerical mistakes. The following components should be used to determine if a change can be processed as an
administrative modification:
• Project costs: Projects in which the federal-aid and/or AC amount has been changed by less than 20% or $2 million, whichever is greater, can be processed with an administrative modification. For purposes of this calculation federal-aid and AC amounts will be combined.
Grand Island Regular Session - 4/11/2022 Page 33 / 97
Transportation Improvement Program FY 2023-2027 | 16
• 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 2023 (July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023). 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 Nebraska Department of
Transportation (NDOT).
GIAMPO is responsible for transportation planning activities within a geographic area identified
as the Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA). GIAMPO’s MPA is comprised of the City of Grand
Island, Village of Alda, portions of Hall County, and a portion of west Merrick County. The MPA is
shown in Figure 1.
Grand Island Regular Session - 4/11/2022 Page 80 / 97
FY 2023 Unified Planning Work Program
FY 2023 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 - 4/11/2022 Page 81 / 97
FY 2023 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 2023
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.
In November 2021 the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) was signed into law. This
legislation carries forward the policies, programs, and initiatives established by preceding
legislation (FAST Act and MAP-21) to maintain and improve the nation’s surface transportation
system. The IIJA carries forward and expands on these policies and introduces new policies and
programs that address new and emerging issues that face the nation’s transportation system.
These issues include mitigating impacts to existing infrastructure due to climate change,
developing and maintaining system resiliency, ensuring equity, researching and deploying new
technologies, and improving safety for all users.

Planning Emphasis Areas
The FHWA and FTA jointly issued new Planning Emphasis Areas in December 2021. The
Planning Emphasis Areas are areas that FHWA divisions and FTA regional offices should
emphasize when working with State Departments of Transportation (DOT) and MPOs as they
develop their planning work programs. These Planning Emphasis Areas are:
• Tackling the Climate Crisis – Transition to a Clean Energy Resilient Future
• Equity and Justice40 in Transportation Planning
• Complete Streets
• Public Involvement
• Strategic Highway Network (STRAHNET) / US Department of Defense (DOD)
Coordination
• Federal Land Management Agency (FLMA) Coordination
• Planning and Environment Linkages
• Data in Transportation Planning
The planning work of GIAMPO endeavors to consider each of these areas.

REPORT: Transit Development Plan Update
BACKGROUND
The City of Grand Island is leading the development of the Grand Island Transit
Development Plan, also known as GO GI Transit. This project began in October 2021
and it is estimated to be completed in November 2022.
The Transit Development Plan is a study that will help the City of Grand Island plan
for the future of public transit in the Grand Island/Hall County area. The plan will
encompass an analysis of the current CRANE Public Transit system and develop
potential future service options based on current and anticipated future needs.
Ultimately, the Transit Development Plan will result in an implementable and fundable
plan for the next 10, and even 20, years to meet the short- and long-term needs of
transit service in the Grand Island community.
The project website is located at www.crane-transit.com/i-want-to/gogi.
GIAMPO staff will provide an update on the Transit Development Plan at the April 11
TAC meeting.
