MOTION by Fowler, SECOND by Stefforia, “to approve the agenda of the August 10, 2017 Technical Committee Meeting.” MOTION APPROVED. MINUTES FROM THE JULY 13, 2017 MEETING Draft minutes from the July 13, 2017 Technical Committee Meeting were included in the meeting materials. Dewey requested a correction to the minutes to say that she was present at the July 13, 2017 Technical Committee Meeting. Arif requested the minutes be corrected to reflect that he was not present at the meeting. MOTION by Schultz, SECOND by Fowler, “to approve the Minutes of the July 13, 2017 Technical Committee Meeting as corrected.” MOTION APPROVED. POLICY COMMITTEE REPORT Start reported that the Policy Committee took action to approve amendments to the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) recommended by the Technical Committee. Payment of invoices from MDOT for overpayments to KATS for prior fiscal years was approved. The Policy Committee approved an audit services contract proposal. CITIZENS’ COMMENTS VanderRoest expressed receiving concerns from residents in Charleston Township where a sealcoat was done by MDOT on M-96 but the potholes were not filled. O’Neill will follow up and asked that future comments and concerns be forwarded to the MDOT Kalamazoo Transportation Service Center (TSC). PROJECT PRIORITIZATION DISCUSSION Start reported that the current Project Prioritization Process is undergoing review for the development of the 2020-2023 TIP. Smaller agencies have expressed concerns with the current structure. It was suggested that a small pot of money be set aside for small agency projects, but KATS Federal partners stated that sub-allocation is not allowed. KATS will be setting up more frequent meetings regarding Project Prioritization before a call for projects in a couple of years. The current Project Prioritization Process came into effect to address federal requirements for an objective process that is tied to the goals and objectives of the Metropolitan Transportation Plan. Arif inquired about the amount of money awarded to smaller agencies. Start responded that smaller agency projects only received funding because of additional money becoming available due to bid savings, which was then awarded to the next project on the prioritization list. The next meeting for the Project


Prioritization Process subcommittee will be after September’s Technical Committee Meeting to discuss additional factors in the process, preventative maintenance and transit project integration for scoring. PEDESTRIAN, GREENWAY, AND TRANSIT STUDY UPDATE Stepek reported that the final draft is out for the subcommittee to review and awaiting comments for the next meeting on September 14th at Metro Transit. PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION UPDATES Schultz thanked local agencies for providing construction updates during the busy construction season. Between railroad and road construction, bus drivers are getting through it thanks to the heads up on projects. Schultz reported that 55 stops are being upgraded this year and Metro Transit appreciates the cooperation of local agencies. Metro Transit is in the process of rebranding, with continued discussion on Monday at the board meeting to talk about the future of the organization and what the official name will be. Research is currently underway for new technology that allows paying for fares using a mobile phone app. More information coming in October. Start requested an update about the Burger King on Westnedge Avenue getting a bus shelter. Schultz reported that the bus shelter was just installed. Metro Transit is working on getting permits for other locations on some of the high usage stops that are on private property. There are six remaining shelters to be installed this year along with solar lights, trash cans and route information signs. Schultz also reported that Metro Transit will be adjusting service hours on the Westnedge route since the bus is still experiencing full capacity. In September of this year, Metro Transit is pulling service off the top of the hour on the Westnedge route. Sunday service will be extended at the first of the year. STATUS REPORTS ROAD STATUS REPORTS Village of Augusta: The village is working with an engineer to make improvements on local roads. Residents feel that the M-96 projects is unfinished due to potholes. City of Kalamazoo: Paterson railroad crossings are now reopened. The Drake Road Trail project in conjunction with Oshtemo Township has been submitted for obligation. Vine Street between Westnedge Avenue and Davis Street is waiting for Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) approval with the goal of a December letting. The Pitcher Street project is expected to have a January letting. Road Commission of Kalamazoo County (RCKC): RCKC Non-Motorized: The Texas Drive Trail Project is still waiting on the contractor to complete watering and cultivating. No decision has been made regarding Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) funding for the Drake Road Trail project. The RCKC is working to schedule a meeting with MDOT to discuss the project. A meeting with County Parks regarding the KRVT in Galesburg, Charleston and Augusta is in the works. RCKC Road Updates: The contractor for the Stadium Drive Project at 11th Street is completing punch list items. The Sprinkle Road Safety Project is progressing and work south of I-94 is anticipated to start soon. The bridge railings are being poured for the East Michigan Avenue Bridge Project in Charleston Township. The bridge will be re-opened while waiting for the deck to cure and then closed again for the epoxy surface treatment. Night paving continues Stadium Drive from 9th Street to US-131 with the top course of HMA being placed next week. The preconstruction meeting was held on August 9 for the N Avenue Project from Sprinkle to 26th Street. This project is waiting for the N Avenue sewer project to be completed. N Avenue is closed and traffic is being detoured. A preconstruction meeting was held for the D Avenue Bridge Project over the Gull Lake Outlet on August 7. Work is expected to begin after Labor Day. The RCKC Chip Seal Program is 95% through the 175-mile program. Fog seal is 60% through the


116-mile program. In July, the RCKC Board of Road Commissioners added 11 projects to the Primary Road Overlay Program. The projects are being funded with bid and winter maintenance savings. Three (3) of these projects have been completed. RCKC Design Updates: The KL Avenue Project at Almena/1st Street is targeted for September Grade Inspection and a January letting. The KL Avenue Project from 11th Street to Drake Road is targeted for a September or October Grade Inspection and letting in January or February.

Michigan Department of Transportation: I-94 bridgework on the 6-lane section of I-94 in Portage and Texas Township is mostly complete with no remaining lane closures. The M-43 Project is underway and the next phase for sidewalk work from Kendall to Pitcher is anticipated to begin August 7. There will be closures for railroad crossing work on Westnedge and Kalamazoo from August 14-25 and on Michigan and Park from September 11-22, a public meeting was held regarding the closures. M-96 mill and resurfacing project in Galesburg is scheduled to be completed after Labor Day. The US-131 and I-94 interchange has inadequate lighting according to Forth. O’Neill reported that MDOT is focusing on replacing non-functional lighting and hasn’t made the US-131 and I-94 interchange a priority. The Kalamazoo TSC continues to submit requests for lighting, if no funding gets awarded, the TSC will work with the municipalities to install lights. Minkus inquired about the high friction surface treatments. O’Neill stated that there is not enough crash data but no fatal crashes have been reported since the treatment. MDOT is having a review of the concrete surfaces to evaluate material and delineation. A section of I-94 HMA has not yet received feedback. MDOT is waiting for additional data which will be available in January. LAND USE/PLANNING AND ZONING STATUS REPORTS Kalamazoo County Planning and Development: The Kalamazoo County Planning and Development Department had a name change. Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data has been received with two-foot contours and the ability to generate one-foot contours. LiDAR data is collected when airplanes shoot laser beams and collects the return rate. The county purchased a new drive to accommodate the size of the data. 2017 Pictometry aerials are in and the county is submitting data to the online Pictometry account. The aerials have less leaf coverage than 2016 but a 2018 flight is still planned. The County is preparing a third draft of its Master Plan after the steering committee met last week. The draft will go out for public comment in a few months. Western Michigan University has renamed its streets and addresses on campus. The county has made changes to its street database to accommodate the changes. The Post Office can’t make the name changes until the 26th of September.

TRANSPORTATION PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT

SAFETY PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT

CURRENT TRENDS Going back to the 1960’s the long-term trend in traffic fatalities in Michigan shows fatalities decreasing dramatically. There were more than 2,000 fatalities per year for the ten year period between 1964 and 1973. By 2011, the number of traffic fatalities in Michigan had dropped to a low of less than 900. There are many factors that have contributed to the long-term reduction in traffic fatalities including improvements in vehicle and occupant safety, stricter state safety laws, advances in life saving medical technology, and better and smarter deployment of engineering countermeasures. In more recent years, since 2008, the number of fatalities has fluctuated a bit, but remained around 900 per year. Calendar year 2016 marked the first year since 2007 in which the total number of traffic fatalities exceeded 1,000.

History of Traffic Fatalities in Michigan

The long-term trend in serious injuries show a similar pattern. The same factors noted above have contributed to a significant reduction in serious injuries that have resulted from vehicle crashes since the mid-1990s.

History of Traffic-Relate Serious Injuries in Michigan

FORECAST METHODS/MODELS

To forecast the total fatalities and serious injuries for target setting purposes, MDOT and the Office of Highway Safety Planning relied on two different models. The models differed in the economic drivers or factors that were identified and used to forecast the two variables. The fatality models developed by MDOT relied on the relationship between oil prices, the Dow Jones Industrial (DJI) futures and fatalities. Both the price of oil and the level and changes in the DJI futures are closely correlated to the travel demand and traffic crashes.

The other model used in the analysis was developed and maintained by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI). The UMTRI model relies on results of a recently completed research report titled Identification of Factors Contributing to the Decline of Traffic Fatalities in the United States, which was completed as part of the National Cooperative Highway Research Program project 17-67. The model relies on the correlation between traffic crashes and vehicle miles traveled (VMT), Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita, median annual income, and the unemployment rate among 16 to 24-year old’s.

Federal regulations require the use of five year rolling averages each of the performance measures shown below:

• Fatalities

• Fatality rate per 100 million VMT

• Serious injuries

• Serious injury rate per 100 million VMT

• Non-motorized fatalities and serious injuries

To determine a forecasted value for the five year rolling average for the first four measures listed above, a forecast for the total number of fatalities and serious injuries was obtained from both models described above for calendar year (CY) 2017 and 2018. The model created by MDOT produced an initial estimate for fatalities for CY 2017 of 968 and for CY 2018 of 912. These estimates were adjusted to account for recent data that show an increase in the number of fatalities thus far in CY 2017 that exceeds that the number experienced year-to-date in CY 2016. The adjusted values project fatalities of 1,057 in CY 2017 and 996 in 2018. The model created by UMTRI predicted 1,059 fatalities in CY 2017 and 1,063 in 2018. The final forecasted value for fatalities is the average of MDOT and UMTRI forecasted values, which predict 1,058 in 2017 and 1,030 in 2018.


The UMTRI model was the sole model used in forecasting total serious injuries as it exhibited a strong linear relationship of the ratio of serious injuries and fatalities (A/K). The model predicts 5,243 serious injuries in 2017 and 5,031 in 2018.

Results from the UMTRI model (the A/K relationship) was also used to generate forecasted values of 782 and 752 nonmotorized fatalities and serious injuries in 2017 and 2018, respectively.

PROGRAMMING INFLUENCE

To meet the safety goal of reducing fatalities and serious injuries on the state Trunkline system the strategy of the Safety Program is to select cost-effective safety improvements, as identified in Michigan's Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP), to address Trunkline locations with correctable fatality and serious injury crashes. All proposed safety funded improvements must be supported by the MDOT Region’s Toward Zero Deaths (TZD) Implementation Plan to mitigate such crashes within the region. Priority is given to those projects, within each Region, with SHSP focus area improvements that have the lowest cost/benefit analysis or are a proven low-cost safety improvement to address the correctable crash pattern. On the local road system MDOT administers federal safety funds for safety improvements supported by a Local Road Safety Plan or addressed by means of a low-cost safety project. High Risk Rural Road is one program used to address rural roadways where fatalities and serious injuries exceed the statewide average for that class of roadway.

NEXT STEPS FOR MPOS

23 CFR 490.209 requires that for all five of the federally –required performance measures, each MPO shall establish a target by either:

I. agreeing to plan and program projects so that they contribute toward the accomplishment of the State DOT safety target for that performance measure; or

II. committing to a quantifiable target for that performance measure for their metropolitan planning area

MPOs are to establish targets not later than 180 days after the State DOT establishes and reports state safety targets in the State Highway Safety Improvement Program annual report. MDOT will submit Michigan’s HSIP annual report by August 31, and MPOs will therefore be required to decide on their MPO safety targets for calendar year 2018 no later than February 27, 2018. MPOs may support all the state safety targets, establish their own specific numeric targets for all of the performance measures, or any combination. MPOs may support the state safety target for one or more individual performance measures and establish specific numeric targets for the other performance measures.

MPOs are to report their safety targets to MDOT in a manner that will soon be agreed upon by both MDOT and MPOs. While FHWA may review MPO performance as part of ongoing transportation planning process reviews, there is no formal requirements for MDOT or FHWA to directly assess MPO progress toward meeting MPO targets.
