November 2021. Nebraska will have access to $30.2 million (~$6 million/year) in formula funds for
EV charging infrastructure while also still being able to complete for a portion of and 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. The designated corridors in Nebraska are I-80 across the state and Highway
6 in the Omaha area. The first priority is the buildout of these corridors consisting of four-port DC
fast charger stations spaced 50 miles apart along the corridor.

ISSUE
VOTE: Draft Amendment No. 4 to the 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan
BACKGROUND
In February 2021, the GIAMPO Policy Board approved the Grand Island metropolitan
region’s 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). It is a blueprint that describes
how the region will invest in its multimodal transportation system over the next 25
years. The GIAMPO amends the LRTP to accommodate changes to projects in the
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).
The proposed Amendment No. 4 to the LRTP modifies the potential funding sources
for one (1) fiscally constrained project and adjusts the fiscally constrained plan of the
plan to include additional anticipated federal revenue. The details of the proposed
amendment appear below.
Amend Fiscally Constrained Roadway Project
Project ID: 4
Project Description: Broadwell Ave at UP railroad
Improvement Type: Grade Separation
Actions:
1.Modify the potential funding sources from “Local / State” to “Local / Other /
Federal” in Table 9-3 (Fiscally Constrained Roadway Projects) of the
LRTP. SFTY represents a federal funding source, and OTHER represents
funding from the railroad.
Other: The proposed Amendment No. 1 to the FY 2023-2027 Transportation
Improvement adds a new project (TIP Number: 2023-002, Project Name:
Broadwell Avenue Viaduct). LRTP Amendment No. 4 is the result of this TIP
amendment.
An LRTP amendment is required when adding federal funding sources or changing
from one federal funding category to another for a project, in accordance with the
NDOT Operating Manual for Metropolitan Planning Organization Transportation
Planning.
The proposed amendment requires modifications in Chapter 7 – Future
Transportation Revenues and Chapter 9 – Fiscally Constrained Plan. Enclosed are
pages from these chapters with the applicable changes shown in red.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS/DISCUSSION
GIAMPO’s Public Participation Plan requires that proposed amendments to the LRTP
be released for public review and comment prior to Policy Board adoption.

Future Transportation Funding Levels
Future anticipated funding levels were developed for the LRTP, based on the financial analysis completed in this chapter, and budget assumptions provided by Nebraska DOT program management staff. The key assumption was a 3% annual budget growth, and 4% annual cost growth (discussed in more detail in Chapter 9).
Future Federal Program Funding Levels
Future funding levels for Federal programs are shown in Table 7-11.

There are potential NHPP and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality
(CMAQ) funding that might become available for future use within the
GIAMPO area, but the use of these funds are state-directed and no revenue estimates were developed for these programs could reasonably be developed for the LRTP. Additional Transit Fund
CRANE received an award of $2.2 million in additional funds through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act in March 2020. CRANE is planning to use the money for service expansion and to address facility needs.
8 The short-term time band for HSIP includes $27,368,000 in SFTY funds for the Broadwell Avenue Viaduct. This project is identified in Amendment No. 1 to the GIAMPO FY 2023-2027 TIP, and it is Project ID 7 in the LRTP. SFTY funds is known as Highway Safety Improvement Program (includes Rail Safety) in the NDOT STIP.
Future Local Program Funding Levels
Future funding levels for locally directed programs are shown in Table
7-12. Note that this analysis focuses on funding for Grand Island, as all
of the city is within the GIAMPO area, and the majority of the other two
large jurisdictions (Hall County and Merrick County) lie outside of the
GIAMPO study area. The table also shows anticipated outlays for operations and maintenance budgets for each time band.

Fiscally Constrained Projects
The fiscally constrained roadway projects for 2026 through 2045 are presented in Table 9-3. The location and implementation time band for each fiscally constrained roadway project is shown in Figure 9-1. High Priority Vision roadway projects are included in this figure while Table 9-5 summarizes them.
The fiscally constrained bicycle and pedestrian projects are presented in Table 9-4. The location and implementation time band for each fiscally constrained bicycle and pedestrian project is shown in Figure 9-2. High Priority Vision bicycle and pedestrian projects are included in this figure while Table 9-5 summarizes them.
The next three sub-sections address the LRTP’s fiscal constraint by describing the anticipated budget, projects costs, and budget balance by major funding category: HSIP, STBG-TA, and local funding.
HSIP Fiscal Constraint
As outlined in Chapter 7, HSIP funds are not directly allocated to
GIAMPO on an annual basis but are reasonably expected to be awarded in proportion to regional needs for eligible projects. Based on the project funding assumptions in Table 9-3, the following summarizes HSIP budgets, project costs, and balances:
• HSIP Budget: $37,941,000 in year-of-expenditure HSIP funds are projected for the GIAMPO area for the years 2026-2045.1 • HSIP Project Costs: $30,816,000 in year-of-expenditure HSIP project costs for the 2026-2045 period.1 This specifically includes:
• $29,856,000 in Short-term (2026-2030) HSIP project funding
• $960,000 in Mid-term (2031-2037) HSIP project funding • Remaining HSIP Budget Balance: $7,125,000 balance in HSIP funds between 2026-2045.2
STBG-TA Fiscal Constraint
As with HSIP funds, STBG-TA funds are not directly allocated to GIAMPO annually. The reasonably-expected funding levels were evaluated against eligible project costs. Based on the project funding assumptions in Table
9-4, the following summarizes STBG-TA budgets, project costs, and
balances:
1 The HSIP budget and project costs includes $27,368,000 in SFTY funds for the Broadwell Avenue Viaduct. This project is identified in Amendment No. 1 to the GIAMPO FY 2023-2027 TIP, and it is Project ID 7 in the LRTP. SFTY funds is known as Highway Safety Improvement Program (includes Rail Safety) in the NDOT STIP.
2 Note these are not actual remaining funds but illustrate that assumed HSIP funding contributions are below the
anticipated regional HSIP funding budget.

Grand Island Regular Session - 10/17/2022 Page 17 / 23
• STBG-TA Budget: $4,849,700 in year-of-expenditure STBG-TA funds are projected for the GIAMPO area for the years 2026-2045. • STBG-TA Project Costs: $4,837,500 in year-of-expenditure STBG-TA
project funding for the 2026-2045 period. This specifically includes: • $952,000 in Short-term (2026-2030) STBG-TA project funding • $1,605,500 in Mid-term (2031-2037) STBG-TA project funding
• $2,280,000 in Long-term (2038-2045) STBG-TA project funding • Remaining STBG-TA Budget Balance: $12,200 balance in STBG-TA funds between 2026-2045.3
Local Fiscal Constraint
As outlined in Chapter 7, there are several local transportation funding sources used by the City of Grand Island. The reasonably expected local transportation funding levels were evaluated against eligible project costs. Based on the project funding assumptions in Table 9-3 and Table
9-4, the following summarizes local transportation funding budgets,
project costs, and balances:

REPORT: Transit Development Plan
BACKGROUND
The City of Grand Island is leading the Grand Island Transit Development Plan, also
known as GO GI Transit, in coordination with GIAMPO. The study will help the City of
Grand Island plan for the future of public transit in the Grand Island/Hall County area.
The GO GI Transit plan is analyzing the current CRANE Public Transit system and
developing potential future service options based on current and anticipated future
needs. Ultimately, GO GI 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 GO GI Transit study process began in October 2021 and is estimated to be
completed in February 2023. The project website is located at www.crane-
transit.com/i-want-to/gogi.
City staff will provide an update on the Transit Development Plan (GO GI Transit) at
the October 17 TAC meeting. This update will include the draft recommendations of
the study.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS/DISCUSSION
After the completion of the Transit Development Plan (GO GI Transit), GIAMPO may
need to amend the 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan to reflect the plan
recommendations.
BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS
None.
COMMITTEE ACTION
None. The Technical Advisory Committee is scheduled to make a recommendation to
approve the Draft Transit Development Plan document and to release it for public
review and comment at the December 12, 2022 TAC meeting.

REPORT: Comprehensive Plan Update
BACKGROUND
The last significant update to the Hall County and Grand Island Comprehensive Plans
was completed in 2004. Hall County Regional Planning Commission staff has
secured funding from the City of Grand Island and Hall County to update the plans
and regulations for these entities during the 2022, 2023 and 2024 fiscal years. It is
expected that the process will take between 18 and 24 months from the time it
begins.
In January 2022, the Hall County Regional Planning Commission released a Request
for Qualifications (RFQ) to retain a consultant firm to provide professional services for
Comprehensive Plan and Regulation Update for the City of Grand Island and Hall
County. A Notice to Proceed was issued to Marvin Planning Consultants in April
2022. A kickoff meeting was held in June and a series of open house meetings are
planned for October 25, 26 and 27 later this month.
The Comprehensive Plan is a blue print for growth in the community and is required if
a community wishes to use zoning and subdivision regulations to impact how and
where that development occurs. The 2004 plans were looking at a 20-year time
frame, and this time horizon is nearing the end.
Hall County Regional Planning Commission staff will provide an update on the
Comprehensive Plan Update at the October 17 TAC meeting.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS/DISCUSSION
None.
BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS
None.
COMMITTEE ACTION
None.
RECOMMENDATION
