Finance and Revenue• Federal-aid highway programs – maintains current
funding level for FFY 2012 and FFY 2013 with small inflation factor for FFY 2014– FFY 2013/2014 state apportionments based on share of FFY
2012 apportionments – not individual formulas• Each state will receive at least 95 percent of its
contributions into the Highway Account of HTF in FFY 2014. However, with the transfer of General Funds each state receives over 100 percent of contributions.
![Page 8: MAP-21 Overview and Implementation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681649c550346895dd67ed7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

17
Highway Program Restructuring
• National Highway Performance Program (NHPP)– Consolidates Interstate Maintenance, National Highway System
(NHS) programs and bridges on the NHS routes– NHS mileage cap is expanded from 159,000 miles to an
estimated 220,000 miles. Iowa mileage could increase from 3,209 miles to an estimated 5,063 miles.
– Secretary will set minimum standards for Interstate and NHS bridge condition – and can direct funds if standards are not met
– Match can vary depending on the use of funds
![Page 16: MAP-21 Overview and Implementation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681649c550346895dd67ed7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
18
Highway Program Restructuring• Surface Transportation Program (STP)– Projects on the remainder of federal-aid highways, which
includes routes other than rural minor collector and local– 50 percent of apportionments are suballocated to areas
within the state based on share of population• Over 200,000 (22 percent)• 5,001 to 200,000 (39 percent)• 5,000 and under (39 percent)
– 50 percent available to any area of the state
![Page 17: MAP-21 Overview and Implementation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681649c550346895dd67ed7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
19
Highway Program Restructuring• Surface Transportation Program (STP)– No set-aside for Transportation Enhancements– Includes a minimum set-aside for “off-system” bridges –
estimated to be $9.3 million for Iowa– Eligibility includes transportation alternatives activities,
recreational trails, transit vehicles/facilities, truck parking facilities, highway and transit safety infrastructure improvements, management systems ……. and
– Highway bridges on any public road
![Page 18: MAP-21 Overview and Implementation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681649c550346895dd67ed7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
20
Highway Program Restructuring
• Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)– Eliminates required set-aside for High Risk Rural Roads (HRRR) –
unless HRRR fatality rate increases, then set-aside of 200% of FY 2009 HRRR apportionment
– Adds set-aside for Rail-Highway Grade Crossings – estimated to be $4.7 million for Iowa
– Requirement for regular update of Strategic Highway Safety Plan
– Requirement for a program of projects or strategies to reduce identified safety problems
![Page 19: MAP-21 Overview and Implementation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681649c550346895dd67ed7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
21
Highway Program Restructuring
• Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ)– Generally unchanged– States without a non-attainment or maintenance area can use funds
for any STP or CMAQ eligible project– Evaluation of air quality continues and can result in additional non-
attainment areas• Metropolitan Planning
– Generally unchanged– After discussions of redefining MPOs as urbanized areas over
100,000 or 200,000 or higher – stayed with 50,000
![Page 20: MAP-21 Overview and Implementation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681649c550346895dd67ed7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
22
Highway Program Restructuring
• Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP)– Eliminated the categorical funding for following grant programs:
• Transportation Enhancements (TE)• Safe Routes to School (SRTS)• Recreational Trails• National Scenic Byways
– Estimated 35 percent reduction compared to previous eligible program funding
– Former TE, SRTS, Rec. Trails activities are eligible for funding under the TAP (with a few exceptions such as transportation museums)
![Page 21: MAP-21 Overview and Implementation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681649c550346895dd67ed7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
23
Highway Program Restructuring
• Transportation Alternatives Program (continued)
– Recreational Trails program is continued with funding (2009 level) from this program; unless a State chooses to opt out
– After TAP set aside; 50 percent of funding suballocated to areas within the state based on population and awarded competitively
– Remaining 50 percent can be used for eligible activities anywhere in the state or transferred to other programs
![Page 22: MAP-21 Overview and Implementation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681649c550346895dd67ed7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
24
Highway Program Restructuring
• Transferability Between Programs– A state may transfer up to 50 percent of the annual
apportionments from NHPP, STP, HSIP, CMAQ and TAP funds to any other program
– STP and TAP funds suballocated to areas based on population shall not be transferred
– The Metropolitan Planning funds shall not be transferred
![Page 23: MAP-21 Overview and Implementation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681649c550346895dd67ed7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Public Transit
• Job Access/Reverse Commute and New Freedom – Programs are eliminated and combined with existing formula
programs• Urbanized area formula
– Program is suballocated to metropolitan areas based on population – Over 1 million (70 percent), 200,000 to 1 Million (19 percent), other MPOs (11 percent)
• Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities – Program is also suballocated – Over 200,000 (60 percent), other MPOs
(20 percent) and rural areas (20 percent)
![Page 44: MAP-21 Overview and Implementation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681649c550346895dd67ed7/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
47
Public Transit• Non-urbanized Area
– Retains RTAP and Intercity Bus set-asides
• Bus and Bus Facility Program– Funding is reduced by half and turned into a formula program including a
suballocation distribution heavily weighted to large metropolitan centers – Each state receives $1.25 million off-the-top – Of remaining funds - Areas over 200,000 (87 percent) and other MPOs (13 percent)
– Significant negative impact with reduced funding to Iowa for new and replacement buses.
