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 - 8/23/2022 Page 16 / 40 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 - 8/23/2022 Page 17 / 40 FY 2023 Unified Planning Work Program FY 2023 Unified Planning Work Program | 6 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. MPO FY 2023 Staff Time Estimates Staff (equivalent staff time) Estimated Staff Months Est. Hours Professional Staff (MPO Program Manager) - Direct 11.08 1,920 Administrative Staff (Administrative Coordinator) - Direct 0.14 25 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) (also known as the “Bipartisan Infrastructure Law”) 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. Grand Island Regular Session - 8/23/2022 Page 18 / 40 FY 2023 Unified Planning Work Program FY 2023 Unified Planning Work Program | 7 Set-Aside for Increasing Safe and Accessible Transportation Options The IIJA requires each MPO to use at least 2.5% of its FHWA Metropolitan Planning Funds (estimated at $3,357.27 for GIAMPO) on specified planning activities to increase safe and accessible options for multiple travel modes for people of all ages and abilities. GIAMPO will meet this requirement through activities, which include, but are not limited to, the following: through supporting the Non-Motorized subcommittee, collecting and maintaining bicycle and pedestrian counts on multi-use trails and/or sidepaths, maintaining and evaluating bicycle and pedestrian crashes, maintaining the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, supporting the development of the Transit Development Plan, and coordinating with City of Grand Island Public Works staff on the review of transportation projects and subdivision plans (this review recognizes the City’s Complete Streets policy and guide). 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. FY 2022 GIAMPO Accomplishments The items listed below are the major activities completed during the previous fiscal year:  Approved amendments and/or administrative modifications to the 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan, FY 2022-2026 Transportation Improvement Program, and FY 2022 Unified Planning Work Program  Adopted the FY 2023-2027 Transportation Improvement Program and FY 2023 Unified Planning Work Program for the GIAMPO Metropolitan Planning Area  Adopted the MPO targets for CY 2022 safety performance measures  Adopted the Limited English Proficiency Plan Grand Island Regular Session - 8/23/2022 Page 19 / 40 FY 2023 Unified Planning Work Program FY 2023 Unified Planning Work Program | 8  Initiated the process to develop the Transit Development Plan  Continued development and maintenance of planning data repository/GIS datasets MPO FY 2023 Work Elements The following pages detail the work elements that GIAMPO will undertake in FY 2023.

It provides states with $7.5 billion to expand the electric vehicle (EV) charging network. Over the next five years, Nebraska will have access to $30.2 million (~$6 million/year) in formula funds for EV charging infrastructure while also still being able to compete for a portion of an additional $2.5 billion in discretionary grant funding. This funding supports the Administration’s goal of expanding EV charging stations along designated Alternative Fuel Corridors (AFCs) and other corridors that could be identified in the state. NEVI formula funds will not be made available to a state for obligation until a state has submitted its State Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Deployment Plan to the U.S. Department of Transportation and U.S. Department of Energy Joint Office for review and posting by August 1, 2022, describing how the state intends to distribute NEVI funds. The Federal Highway Administration will approve a state’s plan on a rolling basis, no later than September 30, 2022. The Nebraska NEVI webpage is located at http://www.ndot.info/NEVI. GIAMPO staff will provide an update on the Nebraska Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Plan at the August 23 Policy Board meeting. POLICY CONSIDERATIONS/DISCUSSION None. BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS None. COMMITTEE ACTION A report of the Nebraska Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Plan was provided at the August 8 Technical Advisory Committee meeting by NDOT staff. RECOMMENDATION None. Information only. STAFF CONTACT Allan Zafft Grand Island Regular Session - 8/23/2022 Page 40 / 40
