ISSUE
VOTE: 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 2045 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: 7
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. The

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.

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 foroperations 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 areprojected for the GIAMPO area for the years 2026-2045.1
•HSIP Project Costs: $30,816,000 in year-of-expenditure HSIPproject 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 HSIPfunds 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.
