Overview of additional funding allocations and sources in the 2017 Unified Transportation Program (UTP), strategic priorities, and application of portfolio management processes. Over $66 billion of existing and new funding in UTP includes funding for key priorities: Address safety Preserve assets Target congestion/urban mobility needs Enhance regional connectivity corridors Focus on strategic initiatives 2

3 Commission Workshop Outline - continued Metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) perspective on congestion and connectivity needs, and use of performance-based planning. Review of strategic priorities, 2017 UTP funding, and next steps. Timeline and on-going implementation of administrative rule changes related to HB 20. 3

22 Congestion and Urban Mobility Targeted Programs Two targeted funding programs will focus on heavily congested areas and key trade corridors. Texas Clear Lanes (strategic congestion initiative) More than $5 billion in additional funding allocated through Category 12 Strategic Priorities to target congestion and optimize system performance within the state s most congested areas. Projects prioritized and selected based on project recommendation criteria consistent with HB 20. Target TxDOT districts that include: o Urban area of over 1.5 million population o Average commuter delay of at least 40 hours per year (TTI Urban Mobility Report); o At least 10 segments identified on Top 100 Most Congested Roadways in Texas. 22

23 Congestion and Urban Mobility - Targeted Programs (continued) Connectivity Corridor Congestion (3C) $5 billion in additional funding allocated through Category 4 Connectivity for prioritized and performance based needs on interstates and major freight/trade corridors. Projects to be prioritized and selected based on project recommendation criteria consistent with HB 20. At least 80% of funds are expected to be directed to urban districts with: At least 3 segments identified in a single year over past 3 years on Top 100 Most Congested Roadways listing; or Single metropolitan planning area with population greater than 1 million based on latest Texas State Data Center estimate. Remaining funds may be directed to 3C priorities in urban areas statewide. 23

24 Congestion and Urban Mobility - Federal Programs Congestion Mitigation & Air Quality (Category 5) $2.2 billion distributed to 3 non-attainment metropolitan areas (Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and El Paso).

26 Regional Connectivity Lauren D. Garduño, P.E. 26

27 Regional Connectivity Corridors ($6.6 billion Total UTP Funding) A total of $6.2 billion of additional funding allocated through Category 4 - Connectivity to rural areas of the state to address regional connectivity, safety, and facilitate the movement of freight and international trade to foster economic growth. Preliminary regional connectivity corridor priorities: I-10 - Various segments from Beaumont to San Antonio I-20/I-30 - Various segments from Dallas to Louisiana/Arkansas lines I-35 - Various segments statewide I-45 - Various segments from Houston to Dallas I-69 - Various segments statewide Other statewide interstate and Texas Trunk System/Freight Network corridors (includes additional interstate and U.S./State Highways segments, key border trade corridors, and hurricane evacuation and port routes) Statewide Super 2 corridors 27

28 Regional Connectivity Corridors Regional connectivity initiative funding targets connectivity corridors in rural areas of the state. Candidate corridors reviewed with statewide planning organizations: TxDOT Districts MPOs 28

29 Criteria for Ranking Priority Corridors The following criteria are proposed for consideration to rank corridors for receipt of regional connectivity initiative funding: Enhance existing Interstate network Complete proposed future interstate network Complete existing Texas Trunk System network Expand Texas Trunk System/Freight Network On a hurricane evacuation route Align with energy sector and safety priorities 29

30 Texas Super 2 Corridors Historical limitations on funding in Category 4 Connectivity have resulted in the development of a Super 2 Corridor Plan. Super 2 lanes have been used throughout the state to address connectivity and safety needs on the existing infrastructure network. 30
