8 Purpose of the Transportation Improvement Program The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a staged, multiyear program of projects proposed for funding by federal, state, and local sources for Owensboro Daviess County. The FY TIP identifies priority roadway, transit, and transportation alternatives projects scheduled for implementation between July 1, 2014 and June 30, The FY TIP was developed by the Owensboro Daviess County Metropolitan Transportation Organization (MPO) in cooperation with local governments, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The TIP was developed in accordance with the metropolitan planning requirements set forth in the Statewide and Metropolitan Planning Final Rule (23 CFR Part 450, 49 CFR Part 613) promulgated in the October 28, 1993 Federal Register as required by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA), which was reauthorized as the Transportation Equity Act for the 21 st Century (TEA-21) in 1998, later reauthorized as the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A legacy of Users (SAFETEA-LU) and recently reauthorized as Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21). The TIP is developed and updated, as necessary, under the direction of the Owensboro Daviess County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). It is the responsibility of the MPO to ensure that the TIP is in compliance with federal and state regulations. Agency Overview The Owensboro Daviess County MPO was established and designated by the Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky in The Green River Area Development District (GRADD) is the designated staff agency for the MPO. The GRADD is a diverse agency that is truly a federal/state/local partnership. The GRADD consists of five departments: Transportation, Social Services/Aging, Workforce Investment, Community and Economic Development, and Finance. The GRADD administers and implements numerous Federal, State and local programs and projects. The agency also strives to assist our local governments to obtain and administer Federal and State funding and implement projects and programs that they could not, otherwise, complete on their own. 1

9 MPO Transportation Planning The Owensboro Daviess County MPO is responsible for coordinating transportation-planning activities within the planning area of Owensboro and Daviess County. The MPO is in charge of developing and maintaining a longrange Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) and a short-range Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The TIP document has been prepared to address and record transportation needs scheduled between 2014 and The TIP is the compilation of publicly funded transportation projects constrained to available funding levels. It is the MPO s program for improvements for all modes of transportation, including highway, transit, bicycle/pedestrian, and rail projects. The TIP is also a mechanism by which the local governments, acting together in a coordinated effort, place system improvements in a comprehensive perspective in order to allocate limited resources in the most beneficial manner. For any transportation improvement to be eligible for Federal-aid funding, it must be included in the TIP. The transportation improvements must initially be identified in the MPO s Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). Once a project is adopted into the MTP, it can be then programmed in the TIP. The TIP process involves a comprehensive and realistic appraisal of the transportation needs of the community, balanced with available resources to finance those needs. Project Origination and Prioritization Transportation projects can originate from a wide variety of sources including public input, elected official input, and technical analysis. All identified projects must be adopted into the MPO Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) prior to being programmed into the TIP. The MTP is a document that identifies transportation needs over a 20 + year period and is required, by federal law, to be updated every five years. The TIP is a short range program of projects with committed funding and is required to be updated every four years. However, both the MTP and the TIP may be amended and/or modified at any time. The MPO Policy Committee (Daviess County Judge/Executive, Mayor of the City of Owensboro, and the Secretary of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet) is afforded the opportunity to identify projects that serve to implement the MTP. The TIP may include projects that address highway, transit, and bicycle/pedestrian 2

10 needs. The TIP is inclusive of all projects that utilize federal funds and all regionally significant projects that utilize state and local funds. Prior to projects being selected for the TIP, each project is evaluated and ranked through the MPO s Metropolitan Transportation Plan process. This evaluation process is based on the MPO s goals and objectives. The goals and objectives of the MPO are based on the eight (8) federal planning factors. The MPO goals and planning factors are listed below. In applying the evaluation process, each project receives a rating. All ratings are then averaged for each project. All projects are ranked objectively through this process. The MPO Citizens Advisory, and the Technical Advisory, and the Policy Committees are given an opportunity to review the rankings and make changes as deemed necessary. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) also has a prioritization process for all projects on the Unscheduled Projects List (UPL). All unscheduled projects for the MPO are identified on the UPL. Every two years, the KYTC works with the MPOs and Area Development Districts (ADDs) to prioritize and rank the projects on the UPL in preparation for the development of Kentucky s Highway Plan. Through these prioritization and ranking processes, projects are programmed in the KYTC s Highway Plan and ultimately in the MPO TIP. Federal Planning Factors Support the economic vitality of the United States, the States, nonmetropolitan areas, and metropolitan areas, especially by enabling global competitiveness, productivity, and efficiency; Increase the safety of the transportation system for motorized and non-motorized users; Increase the security of the transportation for motorized and nonmotorized users; Increase the accessibility and mobility of people and for freight; 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; 3

11 Enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system, across and between modes throughout the State, for people and freight; Promote efficient system management and operation; and Emphasize the preservation of the existing transportation system. MPO Goals and Objectives 1. Promote Transportation Safety Reduce the number and severity of traffic accidents by improving existing and potential high crash locations Improve substandard roadway geometrics where necessary Support and/or undertake public education programs to emphasize safety and promote safe driving practices Provide improved conditions to enhance emergency services 2. Preserve Existing Transportation Facilities and Systems Consider costs and benefits of improvements in the MPO planning process Emphasize reconstruction and upgrades to existing highway systems Apply access management principles to aid preserving the existing highway network Identify and implement minor construction and traffic operational improvements to improve traffic flow and safety 3. Provide an Efficient Transportation System Reduce traffic congestion and improve travel times in the region Plan for both existing and future travel demand Promote cost efficiency in the implementation and/or operation of transportation facilities and/or improvements Encourage the implementation of access management polices to improve the overall efficiency of the transportation system Improve the overall capacity of the highway network 4

12 4. Enhance Connection between Transportation Systems Provide for frequent and convenient transfer between all modes of transportation Where justified, provide new highway connections to provide improved access and mobility for the overall transportation system in the area Promote improved access to intermodal transportation facilities 5. Support Community Development and Economic Growth Provide transportation service for areas of new growth and potential development Provide transportation service to aid in preserving existing communities and development Where possible, provide transportation improvements to areas experiencing economic decline 6. Increase Access and Mobility for the movement of Freight Provide new or improved transportation options and/or connections for economic centers that depend on freight 7. Provide a Balance Between Development and Quality of Life Recognize the need for transportation improvements, but be sensitive to environmental, social, and cultural resources in doing so 8. Enhance Alternatives to Traditional Automobile/Highway Travel, such as Transit, Bicycle, and/or Pedestrian Travel Where possible and warranted, encourage the incorporation of bicycle/pedestrian facilities into major improvement projects Study the potential need for enhancements to the public transportation system in the Owensboro Daviess County area MPO Transportation Planning Area The MPO is responsible for identifying and addressing the transportation needs within its designated study area. The transportation study area for the Owensboro Daviess County MPO includes all of Owensboro and Daviess County. The next page indicates the MPO planning boundary. 5

14 TIP Approval Process The TIP, once approved by the MPO Policy Committee, is the official document that directs the flow of transportation improvements in the MPO planning area. Following approval by the Policy Committee, the TIP is submitted to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) who in turn submits it to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). KYTC uses the TIP as a basis for preparing its request for federal funding through their Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The TIP is used by KYTC in the preparation of the commonwealth s Highway Plan, which is approved by the state legislature every two (2) years and outlines KYTC s construction program over the next six (6) years for both state and federal funding. Financial Constraint The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21 st Century Act (MAP-21) requires that Transportation Improvement Programs be financially constrained. That is, this document should include the estimated cost associated with each project and the anticipated revenue source. Additionally, only those projects for which a current or proposed revenue source can be identified may be listed, thus ensuring a balance between total project costs and revenues. This requirement helps the MPO and the State develop a deliverable program of projects. Although the Owensboro Daviess County MPO has significant input in the identification of needs and the determination of project funding priorities, it should be understood that the MPO does not have direct control over any source of funding identified herein. Final decisions regarding the allocation of funds (project selection, revenue source, schedule, etc.) are made by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and the Kentucky State Legislature. In order to address the full range of transportation needs, on a statewide level and within the Owensboro Daviess County urbanized area, the Cabinet makes use of a variety of available revenue sources (or funding types). The revenue sources eligible and currently allocated for use within the Owensboro Daviess County area are identified on page 8. The specific projects shown in the Project Listing tables beginning on Appendix A have been identified by the Transportation Cabinet, along with the associated programmed or planned revenue source and schedule, in the Cabinet s Statewide Transportation Improvement Program and/or the Six Year Highway Plan. It should be expected that this program of projects will be subject to periodic changes in schedules and/or revenue sources due to adjustments that must be made 7

15 to balance costs and revenues (or maintain financial constraint) at the statewide level, and also due to various project related delays. These changes will be initiated by the Cabinet and will be reflected in this document by TIP Administrative Modifications or Amendments. The table on page 10 provides a summary of costs and revenues by funding type and year (all costs and revenues here and elsewhere in this document are shown in Year-of Expenditure dollar values). A balance between costs and revenues is indicated; financial constraint is demonstrated. Project Types and Project Funding Categories The type of funds to be utilized for the projects involving Federal and State funds are in accordance with the Moving Ahead in the 21 st Century Act (MAP-21) and are abbreviated as follows: Federal Transit Programs FTA Federal Transit Administration Section 5307 Section 5310 Section 5339 Federal Highway Programs BR2 JP2 BRAC Bond Projects Second Program BRO Federal Bridge Replacement On-System BRX Federal Bridge Replacement On/Off System BRZ Federal Bridge Replacement Off System HES Hazard Elimination System HPP High Priority Projects HSIP Safety Highway Safety Improvement Program IF Innovative Financing IM Interstate Maintenance KYD Demonstration funds Allocated to Kentucky NH National Highway System NHPP National Highway Performance Program HUD Housing and Urban Development SRTS Safe Routes to School STP Surface Transportation Program TAP Federal Transportation Alternatives Program 8

18 Public Participation The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) was developed in accordance with the MPO Participation Plan. To ensure that the TIP received adequate public review, the Owensboro Daviess County MPO placed a Public Notice in the Sunday, August 31, 2014, edition of the Messenger & Inquirer, the only local newspaper, based in Owensboro, KY. The public comment period began on August 31, 2014, and ended on September 29, The document was also available for review at the Green River ADD office, Owensboro City Hall, Daviess County Courthouse, Owensboro Transit System, Daviess County Public Library, and on the MPO webpage of the GRADD website, The MPO did not receive any comments regarding the projects included in the TIP. 11

20 TIP Amendments / Administrative Modifications Occasionally, TIP amendments will be needed when project information currently listed in the document needs to be changed or projects need to be added or deleted. Project sponsors, such as the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, local communities or transit agencies will inform the Owensboro Daviess County MPO when such changes are needed to reflect current conditions for transportation projects. These amendments are presented in resolution form to the Citizen Advisory and Technical Advisory Committees and the Policy Committee for approval. Some changes to a transportation project are minor and only require an administrative modification to show the change in the TIP. Typically, these minor changes involve a movement of a particular phase of a project from one fiscal year to another, within the planning horizon of the TIP, or a minor change in the funding amount. A significant change in scope to a project would require a TIP amendment. Additional discussion of procedures that govern TIP Modifications and Amendments can be found in the MPO s Participation Plan. ( Air Quality Currently, the planning area for the Owensboro Daviess County MPO is in attainment with all Federal air quality regulations. An attainment area is an area considered to have air quality that meets or exceeds the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) health standards used in the Clean Air Act. Grouped Projects Transportation planning regulations applicable to the development and content of Transportation Improvement Programs allow that projects that are not considered to be of appropriate scale for individual identification in a given program year may be grouped by function, work type, and/or geographic area. Such projects are usually non-controversial and produce negligible impacts other than positive benefits for safety, traffic operations or preservation. Typically, these types of projects are not generated by the planning process; they are usually initiated by traffic operations or maintenance functions to correct existing problems or deficiencies, or they are the result of successful grant applications by 12

21 local governments or entities. KYTC identifies many of these types of projects as Z Various in the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program. For the reasons noted above, KYTC and FHWA have developed streamlined procedures for incorporating such projects into the TIP. Individual projects from grouped project categories will be incorporated into the TIP by Administrative Modification as they are defined (in terms of project description, scope, and cost) and approved. Allowing such TIP changes to be made by Administrative Modification, rather than Amendment (and the corresponding requirement for public review), simplifies and streamlines TIP maintenance and project approval processes. Grouped project categories utilized by the Owensboro Daviess County MPO are shown in Table 2. The list of grouped projects utilized here is a combination and simplification of two lists recommended by the KYTC and MPO Coordination Final Recommendations of the Consolidated Planning Guidance Process Team, July 20, This was done for applicability to the Owensboro Daviess County area and to facilitate understanding by the MPO committee members and the public. By listing these project types in the TIP, planning process stakeholders and the general public are informed of the types of potential projects that may be added to the TIP in the future via streamlined procedures. TIP actions for these projects will not require additional public review, demonstration of fiscal constraint, or a conformity determination (if applicable). With respect to financial constraint for grouped projects, the reader is referred first to the Financial Constraint section of this documentation page 7 for a discussion of the relative roles of the MPO and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. The dollar amounts shown in the Grouped Projects Table are illustrative (and minimal) project cost amounts based on past experience and reasonableness. These numbers are included per recommended guidance and should not be interpreted as expected project awards or expenditures for any particular year. Rather than future commitments of funding, these numbers are illustrative of a reasonable level of total funding for the various types of grouped projects that, potentially, could be approved within a particular year. When projects are identified, with estimated costs, and funding decisions (type of funds and year) are made by the Transportation Cabinet (on an annual or ongoing basis), the Cabinet will forward the project to the MPO for inclusion in the TIP with a commitment of additional funding within financially constrained balances available on a statewide level. Financial constraint for grouped projects is maintained by the Cabinet on a statewide level and is demonstrated on an annual basis for the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program. 13
