  1. Module 7 Federal MAP-21 Programs Safety Analysis in a Data-limited, Local Agency Environment July 22, 2013 - Boise, Idaho

  2. Learning Objectives Awareness of the federal MAP-21 Programs • Changes • Special rules • Brief discussion of each program

  3. Federal MAP-21 Programs Principal Programs: • Surface Transportation Program (63.7% => $10.0 B) • National Highway Performance Program (29.3% =>$21.8B) Specialty Programs: • CMAQ ($2.2B set aside first before STP, NHPP, and HSIP) • HSIP (7%=> $2.2B) • Railway-Highway Crossing ($0.2B) • Transportation Alternatives ($0.8B) • Federal Lands and Tribal Transportation ($2B) • Metro Planning ($0.3B) • State Planning and Research ($0.4B) www.fhwa.dot.gov/map21/summaryinfo.cfm

  4. Moving towards A more performance based philosophy • Which relies more quantification • Strong linkage between expenditures and quantitative outcomes A higher level of integration between the 4Es • Through Strategic Highway Safety Plans • Potential flexing of funds • Three of the required performance measures are the same for NTHSA and FHWA reporting: Number of fatalities, fatality rate, number of serious injuries

  5. Things to consider with Special Rules High Risk Rural Roads (HRRR) • require consideration of the both the state and local systems. • State and Locals will need to determine which rural roads will be considered as HRRR • Section 1112 requires 200% of 2009 HRRR Funds to be allocated in the next fiscal year to HRRR if fatality rate on HRRR increases over a two year period Older drivers and pedestrians • States are required to incorporate strategies into the next update of the State Strategic Highway Safety Plan if older drivers and pedestrian fatalities and serious injuries per capita for drivers and pedestrians over age 65 increases during the most recent 2-year period for which data are available

  6. Federal “Principal” Programs National Highway Performance Program www.fhwa.dot.gov/map21/nhpp.cfm • Closely follows previous STP, with expanded eligibilities. • 50% of funds to be sub-allocated based on population; remainder used in any area of State. • Off-system bridge set-aside. • Rural planning organizations, if any, must be consulted. • New program funded at $21.8B. Combines functions of the existing NHS, IM, and Bridge Programs • Enhanced NHS will include previous NHS, all principal arterials, STRAHNET, and intermodal connectors. Eliminates statutory mileage cap. • TIP: Look for routes over and intersections with local network Surface Transportation Program www.fhwa.dot.gov/map21/stp.cfm

  7. Federal “Specialty” Funding Programs MAP-21 Federal Lands F L Transportation Program Highway Safety Improvement Program F L Access Program Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Tribal Trans Program Transportation Alternatives Regional Surface Transportation Program Enhancements Safe Routes to School Recreational Trails

  8. Direct Safety Outcomes HIGHWAY SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (HSIP) • HSIP is core formula funded program in MAP-21 • States target improvements from Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) with partners in Education, Enforcement and Emergency Response • Set asides for H-RGC, SPR and TE (which includes SRTS) • Some states may have High Risk Rural Roads set aside • Additional eligible infrastructure projects” include: bike and pedestrian, sign retroreflectivity, older driver measures, wildlife mitigation, truck parking, and systemic treatments • Activities and initiatives with SHSP partners are also eligible www.fhwa.dot.gov/map21/hsip.cfm www.fhwa.dot.gov/map21/rhc.cfm HSIP Annual Allocations State Planning & Research (2%) Transportation Enhancements (2%) Highway Safety Improvements Highway-Rail Grade Crossing (3-23%) Bike and Pedestrian Safety State Highway Safety Local Highway Safety

  9. Possible Safety Outcomes Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality www.fhwa.dot.gov/map21/cmaq.cfm • RSTP sub-allocated to qualifying MPOs • RSTP funds are flexible for federal qualifying routes • Check state policy on policy, schedules and local authority • MPOs/localities and DOT collaborate to develop Federal Strategy to authorize project expenditures and commit to delivery • MPOs with > 200k population are Transportation Management Areas (TMAs) who allocate CMAQ (and RSTP) funds • CMAQ is for air quality nonattainment areas on eligible projects • Check state policy on policy, schedules and local authority • Tip: MPO must establish process to ID and prioritize projects – look for improvements where safety is also a factor Regional Surface Transportation Program

  10. FLTP for projects that improve access within the Federal estate • FLAP replaces and expands the Forest Highways program for projects that improve access to the Federal estate on infrastructure owned by States and local governments • TTP for projects that improve access to and within Tribal lands • Tribal High Priority Projects Program, a discretionary program modeled on an earlier program that was funded by set-aside from the Indian Reservation Roads Program Federal Lands F L Transportation Program F L Access Program Tribal Trans Program

  11. Possible Safety Outcomes Transportation Alternatives • MAP-21 established TA program • A State may transfer up to 50% of its TAP funds to NHPP, STP, HSIP, CMAQ, and/or Metropolitan Planning • Mostly former TE activities • Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities • Landscaping and Scenic Beautification • Historic Preservation • Rehabilitation and Operation of Historic Transportation Buildings, Structures, or Facilities • Preservation of Abandoned Railway Corridors and Conversion to Trails • Inventory, Control, and Removal of Outdoor Advertising • Archaeological Planning and Research • Environmental Mitigation of Runoff Pollution and Provision of Wildlife Connectivity • Adds “boulevards and other roadways largely in the ROW of former interstate system routes and other divided highways” – to be defined by FHWA Transportation Enhancements Safe Routes to School (optional) Recreational Trails (optional) www.fhwa.dot.gov/map21/tap.cfm

  12. Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Enable and encourage children to walk and bike to school (K-8) safely Emphasis on comprehensive programs with community support and partnerships Typically two types of grants: • Infrastructure – Sidewalks, Crosswalks, Bike lanes, Trails, etc. • Non-infrastructure- Education, Encouragement, Enforcement and evaluationactivities. Applicants must create a School Travel Plan prior to applying for funds

  13. State Funded Local Programs Access Programs Rural Rustic Roads Local Maintenance Payments State Grants Revenue Sharing LTAP/ T2

  14. Local Funding Programs Revenue Sharing • Partner funding program with state (e.g., 50/50 split) • Locally administered projects Access Programs • New or upgrading roadways for: • Economic Development/Industrial Access • Recreational • Airports County/ Parish/ Township/ Rural Roads • Paving non-hard surface roads • Rural, low volume (<1,000 ADT) • Minimal safety issues

  15. Local Programs Revenue Sharing Local Maintenance Payments Formula dispersed for: • Principal and minor arterials • Collector and local streets Access Programs • Often application for: • resurfacing • intersections • widening • bridges State Grants County/ Parish/ Township/ Rural Roads LTAP/ T2 • Paving non-hard surface roads • Rural, low volume (<1,000 ADT) • Minimal safety issues

  16. Locally Administered Project Federal Resources • Introducing-“Federal-aid Essentials for Local Public Agencies” • Website: • http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/fIntroducing-“Federal-aid Essentials for Local Public Agencies” • http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/federal-aidessentials/

  18. Other LAP Resources State Local Assistance/County/Parish web pages State LTAP and T^2 AASHTO NACE www.countyengineers.org/ResourcesEdu/Safety/Pages/default.aspx NACO - e.g., transportation achievement awards • www.naco.org/programs/recognition/Pages/AchievementAwardSearch.aspx APWA www.apwa.net/Topics/Transportation ITE – publications, webinars etc. Three FHWA – NHI Web-based modules • Introduction to Highway Federal aid • Introduction to NEPA • Introduction to the Uniform Act (Plus other applicable web-based modules)

  19. Summary: Module 7 Federal MAP-21 programs Move to • more quantification of safety performance • Targeted expenditure: expenditure & performance linkage Special rules Principal and specialty programs
