3 V. New Business A. Recent Administrative Modifications to Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) Projects (through January 2018) Sharon Gregory advised the committee that we had two administrative modifications since the last time staff reported on this. Ms. Gregory reviewed the modifications with the committee. As you recall, these are minor changes that do not require approval by the TAC or Metro committees. If you have any questions you can contact Sharon. ***B. FY Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) Amendment #11 Sharon Gregory stated that there are some large print copies of the amendment on the table if anyone needs one. For Amendment #11 there are seven (7) new Safety Project awards, one (1) new High Risk Rural Roads award and also two (2) new MDOT projects. Amendment #11 meets the financial constraints of the TIP and will have no disproportionately high or adverse impacts to any of the identified Environmental Justice (EJ) populations in Genesee County. At this time staff is recommending endorsement of Amendment #11 to the FY Transportation Improvement Program from the Technical Advisory Committee to the Genesee County Metropolitan Alliance. Motion: Action: Approve, Moved by Fred Peivandi, Supported by Brad Barrett, to recommend approval to Amendment #11 to the FY Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) to the Genesee County Metropolitan Alliance. It was brought to the group s attention that the two (2) PE Genesee County Road Commission projects should be for FY 2019 instead of FY Motion passed unanimously with the following changes to the two (2) Genesee County Road Commission projects: Changing from FY 2018 to FY 2019 on PE projects, Torrey Road (Crane Road to Lahring Road) and Countywide Backplates (14 intersections: Hill at Fenton, Bristol at Van Slyke, Bristol at Fenton, Saginaw at Hill, Linden at Miller, Pierson at Linden, Linden at Court, Owen at Jennings, Miller at Austins Parkway, Irish at Court, Miller at Manwaring, Miller at Lennon, Genesee at Richfield, Pierson at Pier North). C Trail Count Survey Requests Jacob Maurer stated that staff is taking requests for this year s count season. Average counts will be two (2) to four (4) weeks. Mr. Maurer presented several slide examples of reports that can be produced once the data is available. Staff is hoping to be able to include the weather on the reports next year as well. Contact Jacob with any questions and to schedule a time to have the trail counters in your community. The Genesee County Road Commission is installing two (2) permanent counters this year. One will be at the Chevy Commons and the other one will be at the Genesee Recreation area on the Flint River Trail. 2 III A

4 D. FY 2021 Local Bridge Program Call for Applications Damon Fortney announced that the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is accepting applications from local road agencies for the Local Bridge Program. Selected projects will be funded during fiscal year (FY) The overall budget for the FY 2021 Local Bridge Program is estimated at $48 million statewide. Applications are due to MDOT by Tuesday, May 1, Questions can be directed to Damon or the Bridge Program Manager, Keith Cooper. Mr. Fortney presented a PowerPoint of bridge data that staff received from MDOT regarding preliminary information as we start setting targets for our bridges. Staff will be asked to set targets in the next several months on the percentage of National Highway Safety (NHS) bridges in both good and poor conditions. By May 20 th, MDOT will be establishing the targets that staff will be asked to achieve for the coming years. The MPO will then have 180 days to accept the state s target or set its own targets. Discussion ensued. ***E. VI. VII. The Metropolitan Transportation Planning Responsibilities Memorandum of Understanding Jacob Maurer stated that staff is updating the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the Metropolitan Transportation Planning Responsibilities. This is the agreement between Genesee County Metropolitan Planning Commission, the Genesee County Metropolitan Alliance, the Flint MTA and Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). This outlines the responsibilities for the federal transportation planning process in Genesee County. The last one was released in The majority of the language is the same with the addition of language related to performance-based planning. At this time, staff is requesting that the Technical Advisory Committee recommend approval of the Metropolitan Transportation Planning Responsibilities Memorandum of Understanding to the Genesee County Metropolitan Alliance. Motion: Action: Approved, Moved by David Guigear, Supported by Jakki Sidge, to recommend approval of the Metropolitan Transportation Planning Responsibilities Memorandum of Understanding to the Genesee County Metropolitan Alliance. Motion passed unanimously. Other Business There was no Other Business. Announcements Derek Bradshaw announced that the next Genesee County Recycle Day event will be held on Saturday, May 12 th. New this year we have four (4) additional drop-off dates during the week at Mott Community College. These events will not accept appliances or tires. Mr. Bradshaw acknowledged our partners: Keep Genesee County Beautiful; Green for Life; Elga Credit Union; City of Flint; Local 370; Mott Community College, and Carmen-Ainsworth. Discussion ensued. 3 III A

5 Derek Bradshaw stated that we have our Annual Report here today, please take them and share it. This is the fortieth year of running our Home Improvement Program (HIP), which is the longest running county program in the county and the state. If you know of any senior citizens or anyone from low-to-moderate income that needs a furnace or any other help send them our way. Derek Bradshaw stated that we are starting the update to our Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). We are doing a Combined Plan this time around to include; transportation, housing, infrastructure, and the environment. We are starting our first phase soon. Staff will be coming out to the local units and spending between twenty to thirty minutes with you asking you about eight to ten questions. Chairperson Slattery thanked Sharon Gregory for staying on top of all our TIP projects and for calling us and letting us know what we need to get done. Fred Peivandi seconded that praise. Sharon Gregory stated that the TIP Call for Projects letter will probably go out around October. VIII.

6 ROOM BEACH STREET FLINT, MICHIGAN TELEPHONE (810) FAX (810) MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: Members of the Technical Advisory Committee Damon Fortney, Planner II Genesee County Metropolitan Planning Commission DATE: April 5, 2018 SUBJECT: Incorporating Performance Measures into the FY TIP Document Staff has continued conversations with the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and other metropolitan planning organizations (MPO s) around the state regarding FAST Act Performance Measures and the best methods for addressing them in our planning documents. MPO s must explain how project selection will be performance-based going forward and document this information in our Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). The TIP document must be updated by May 27, 2018 explaining our performance-based process. Based on discussions with statewide planning staff, we have drafted a revised Performance Measures chapter for the FY TIP. The draft chapter is attached for your review. Staff will continue discussions with MDOT, FHWA, and MPO s to ensure this document meets all requirements of the FAST Act. At this time, staff is requesting a recommendation of approval from the Technical Advisory Committee to the Metropolitan Alliance. Should you have any questions or comments, please contact me at (810) or by at DFortney@co.genesee.mi.us.

7 Proposed TIP Document Amendment Section 9: Performance Measures

8 FAST Act Performance Measures A key feature of the Fixing America s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act is the establishment of a performance and outcome based program, originally introduced through the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21 st Century (MAP-21) Act. The objective of a performance-based program is for states and MPOs to invest resources in projects that collectively will make progress toward the achievement of national goals. 23 CFR 490 outlines the seven areas in which performance goals are required, these include: Safety, Infrastructure Condition, Congestion Reduction, System Reliability, Freight Movement, Environmental Sustainability, and Reduced Project Delivery Delay. Within one year of the U.S. Department of Transportation final rules on performance measures, States are required to set performance targets in support of these measures. Within 180 days of the state setting targets, MPOs are then required to choose to support the statewide targets, or optionally set their own targets. To ensure consistency, each MPO must, to the maximum extent practicable, coordinate with the relevant State and public transportation providers when setting performance targets. Any new TIP document or amendment must comply with performance reporting requirements beginning on May 27, MAP-21 also mandated the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to develop a rule establishing a strategic and systematic process of operating, maintaining, and improving public capital assets effectively through their entire life cycle. Targets are required to establish for rolling stock, equipment, facilities, and infrastructure, which are detailed in this section under Transit Performance. Current TIP Procedures for Selecting/Programming Projects and Addressing Performance Measures Although specific federal guidance on performance measures had not been established at the time the 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and the FY Transportation Improvement Program were developed, the Genesee County Metropolitan Alliance (GCMA) made efforts to collect data and begin tracking performance year-to-year (see Transportation Performance Tracking below). Through these documents, funding goals have been established that generally target the performance measure areas specified. Like other MPOs statewide, GCMA has and continues to face limitations in funding resources at the local, state, and federal levels and has established goals and objectives in the LRTP, particularly in the Financial Plan document to guide project selection.

9 During the TIP Call for Projects, road agencies are requested to submit a TIP application to be considered for funding. TIP applications are scored and prioritized on how well they address and incorporate pavement conditions, multi-modal complete streets design elements, safety, and area-wide impacts. The TIP applications will be revised to better emphasize performance measure targets using a more refined performance-driven project selection process, and will be documented in the TIP Assurances, Procedures and Policies section of the new TIP. GCMA will also continue to gather data for the development of performance measures such as pavement and bridge conditions, traffic volumes, level of congestion, freight data, air quality, emissions reductions, and crash data. GCMA will begin to analyze progress toward the performance goals in fiscal years 2018 and 2019 using the annual listing of obligated projects to illustrate spending in each category (including bridges, safety, road restoration, non-motorized facilities, etc.). Obligated/completed projects will be evaluated to determine whether it contributes towards each performance goal. GCMA will begin to fully implement these performance goals during the TIP development process. Furthermore, staff will also continue to work with other MPOs on best practices for performance-based programing of projects and analysis of performance measure data. Individual Performance Measure Tracking At this time, Safety and Transit performance targets have been established. New sections will be added to this document as additional targets are established. GCMA is also developing a System Performance Report which will be displayed on our website and continuously updated with data on these performance measures. Safety Performance With a recovering economy and increasing travel volumes, both the State of Michigan and Genesee County are experiencing similar increases in traffic fatalities. In evaluating the trends in recent crashes, travel volumes, and economic data, GCMA opted to support the statewide targets, in which serious injuries decline, but fatalities and nonmotorized fatalities and nonmotorized serious injuries increase. An increase in overall traffic volumes and a growing economy both have a strong correlation with increased traffic crashes. Below are the statewide trends in crashes during the past 5-year period:

10 Michigan Crash Trends, Michigan Safety Targets for 2018, Adopted by GCMA To contribute towards reaching statewide targets, GCMA will continue ongoing coordination with the State and other safety stakeholders to address areas of concern, and will plan and program projects that contribute toward meeting the State safety targets. The Metropolitan Alliance will continue to prioritize safety projects submitted by road agencies for the local safety program. GCMA provides support for projects through a list of projects sorted by timeof-return provided to MDOT during the annual call for local safety projects. Current projects programmed that should contribute to safety performance include intersection safety improvements, signalized corridor improvements, roundabouts, non-motorized improvements, and road diets. A listing of projects is maintained on the TIP section of the GCMPC website, which includes safety projects and is updated continuously as projects are added.

11 GCMA will also continue to work towards the local safety policies and strategies identified in the GLS Region V Traffic Safety Plan. We will continue to focus on the priority emphasis areas identified in the safety plan, such as intersection, lane departure, and pedestrian and bicycle safety. GCMA will continue to work with local, county, and state transportation agencies to develop projects that address priority emphasis areas in the regional safety plan. We will also continue to provide technical assistance to members, perform annual crash data analysis, and track our region s data for the safety performance measures. Transit Performance MAP-21 mandated the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to develop a rule establishing a strategic and systematic process of operating, maintaining, and improving public capital assets effectively through their entire life cycle. The Transit Asset Management (TAM) Final Rule 49 CFR part 625 became effective Oct. 1, 2016 and established four performance measures. The performance management requirements outlined in 49 CFR 625 Subpart D are a minimum standard for transit operators. Providers with more data and sophisticated analysis expertise are allowed to add performance measures and utilize those advanced techniques in addition to the required national performance measures, which include the following: 1. Rolling Stock - means a revenue vehicle used in providing public transportation, including vehicles used for carrying passengers on fare-free services 2. Equipment - means an article of non-expendable, tangible property has a useful life of at least one year 3. Facilities - means a building or structure that is used in providing public transportation 4. Infrastructure - means the underlying framework or structures that support a public transportation system To date, GCMA has worked with the Flint Mass Transportation Authority (MTA) to report State of Good Repair Targets to the Federal Transit Administration. GCMA has approved and adopted the targets set by the Flint MTA as outlined below: Flint MTA State of Good Repair Targets, Adopted by GCMA

12 Summary Chart of Performance Measures and Target Adoption Status Below is a summary of the remaining performance measure areas and the current or anticipated implementation status.

13 2040 LRTP Transportation Performance Tracking Prior to the establishment of FAST Act performance targets, GCMA created a list of performance measures identified throughout the 2040 LRTP. This includes a listing of baseline/trend data, which will serve as a starting point for staff to track the performance of Genesee County s transportation system from year to year. This list will be updated with new data during the next update to the LRTP. The following table displays the performance measure, the years compared between, what technical report is associated with the performance measure, and what type of trend is observed. The direction of the arrow signifies if the number or percentage is rising or falling. The color represents if the trend is positive, negative, or neutral. For example, county-wide crash totals reduced by approximately 500 between 2008 and This trend would be represented by a downward, green arrow indicating a positive trend. However, if the arrow is yellow, the trend can be either positive or negative.

16 FAST Performance Measures A key feature of the Fixing America s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act is the establishment of a performance-and-outcome-based program, originally introduced through the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21 st Century (MAP-21) Act. The objective of this performance-and-outcome-based program is for States and Metropolitan Planning Organizations to invest resources in projects that collectively will make progress toward the achievement of the national goals as identified below: Goal area Safety Infrastructure condition Congestion reduction System reliability National goal To achieve a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads To maintain the highway infrastructure asset system in a state of good repair To achieve a significant reduction in congestion on the National Highway System To improve the efficiency of the surface transportation system Freight movement and economic vitality To improve the national freight network, strengthen the ability of rural communities to access national and international trade markets, and support regional economic development Environmental sustainability Reduced project delivery delays To enhance the performance of the transportation system while protecting and enhancing the natural environment To reduce project costs, promote jobs and the economy, and expedite the movement of people and goods by accelerating project completion through eliminating delays in the project development and delivery process, including reducing regulatory burdens and improving agencies work practices Within one year of the DOT final rule on performance measures, States are required to set performance targets in support of those measures. States may set different performance targets for urbanized and rural areas. To ensure consistency each State must, to the maximum extent practicable: 71

17 o o Coordinate with an MPO when setting performance targets for the area represented by that MPO; and Coordinate with public transportation providers when setting performance targets in an urbanized area not represented by an MPO. Within 180 days of States or providers of public transportation setting performance targets, MPO s are required to set performance targets in relation to the performance measures (where applicable). To ensure consistency, each MPO must, to the maximum extent practicable, coordinate with the relevant State and public transportation providers when setting performance targets. Source: These targets are required to be included in MPO and State Transportation Improvement Programs (TIP). At the time the Genesee County FY TIP was developed and approved, only the Safety and Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) performance measures were published (March 15, 2016), starting the one year deadline for MDOT to set their performance measures. For all other performance measures, no official federal guidance requirements had been released and the State of Michigan did not have any performance targets in place. The Genesee County Metropolitan Alliance recognizes these FAST requirements and without all official Federal Guidance in place and without targets set at the State level, the MPO could not establish specific targets. However, through the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and the Transportation Improvement Program, the MPO has established funding goals that generally target the areas specified. These goals were established in the LRTP and implemented through the TIP as close as possible given the limitations on the availability and restrictions of local, state, and federal funding sources. Staff will also continue to gather data for the development of performance measures such as pavement and bridge condition, traffic volumes, traffic flow, level of congestion, and safety. GCMPC staff created a list of performance measures identified throughout the 2040 LRTP. This list will serve as a starting point for staff to track the performance of Genesee County s transportation system from year to year. The following table displays the performance measure, the years compared between, what technical report is associated with the performance measure, and what type of trend is observed. The direction of the arrow signifies if the number or percentage is rising or falling. The color represents if the trend is positive, negative, or neutral.

21 ROOM BEACH STREET FLINT, MICHIGAN TELEPHONE (810) FAX (810) MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: Members of the Technical Advisory Committee Damon Fortney, Planner II Genesee County Metropolitan Planning Commission DATE: April 5, 2018 SUBJECT: 2018 Local Traffic Count Program Each year, staff requests local units of government in Genesee County to update traffic count information on federal-aid eligible roads under their jurisdiction. Traffic Counts are useful for a variety of county-wide planning activities, and are required on many federal-aid roads for the Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS). Staff will be sending out letters to each local road agency with a list of locations requiring 48-hour traffic counts for If there are additional locations your agency would like to count, you may send those to us as well. As traffic counts are taken, remember to upload this information to the web-based traffic count system. If you are not participating in the web-based system, you may send traffic count data in Roadsoft or Excel formats via to DFortney@co.genesee.mi.us. Optimal times for taking traffic counts are in the spring before schools are out for the summer and in the autumn after the Labor Day Holiday. Also, Tuesday through Thursday provide the best average weekday count. GCMPC has traffic counters and accessory equipment available for rental by local agencies. The counters can collect vehicle counts, as well as other necessary traffic data. The charge for equipment rental is $5.00 per day or $25.00 per week, per counter. Our staff is available to assist in setup and training. Should you have any questions or concerns, or would like to rent traffic count equipment, please contact me at (810) or by at DFortney@co.genesee.mi.us.

28 ROOM BEACH STREET FLINT, MICHIGAN TELEPHONE (810) FAX (810) MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: Members of the Technical Advisory Committee Jason Nordberg, Principal Planner Genesee County Metropolitan Planning Commission DATE: April 5, 2018 SUBJECT: FY 2019 Unified Work Program The Unified Work Program (UWP) describes all transportation planning activities for the upcoming fiscal year and identifies funding sources and agencies involved in these activities. The primary activities for the 2019 fiscal year will focus on the update of the 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), development of the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), and implementation and maintenance of the TIP and 2040 LRTP. There are requirements of Fixing America s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act) that are being phased in, such as performance measures, that staff will continue to monitor and work to implement. Other activities include speed study data collection, building permit collection, safety data analysis, and pavement data analysis to name a few. Staff is beginning to develop the FY 2019 work program, and this is an opportunity for the committee to provide suggestions for work activities for the upcoming fiscal year. Please feel free to contact me by Thursday, April 12, 2018 at jnordberg@co.genesee.mi.us or (810) with any suggestions for the 2019 UWP.
