INTRODUCTION The Genesee County Metropolitan Planning Commission (GCMPC) functions as staff to the Genesee County Metropolitan Alliance (GCMA), the metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for the Flint-Genesee County area. The GCMPC provides staff resources, technical support, and services to assist Genesee County Municipalities with the needs and demands of a rapidly urbanizing county. Service Area Within the MPO area, there are 33 local units of government. The following counts were provided by the 2010 U.S. Census. Genesee County, also our MPO boundary, has a population of 425,790.

TRANSPORTATION IN GENESEE COUNTY
The Genesee County Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) provides a summary of how transportation revenues in the program will be invested over a four-year period by the state and local agencies that have legal responsibility to build, operate, and maintain the state's highway, road, streets and public transit systems. Federally-funded expenditures are required by federal law to be consistent with the Long Range Transportation Plan adopted in January 2015 and to be constrained to include only projects that we anticipated having enough revenue to complete. All of the projects proposed for Federal transportation funding have been evaluated according to the local policies and procedures identified in this document. In preparing plans, specifications and estimates for all federal transportation projects, all jurisdictions will utilize sound engineering procedures and will take into consideration not only safety and improvement of the roadway surface, but will also consider the following items when deemed appropriate:
Drainage structures Signs and markings Traffic signals Base improvements Guardrail Provision of adequate lateral clearance Local input American with Disabilities Act Requirements
Project estimates provided by jurisdictions for this TIP include costs for the previously identified factors, where feasible, and include reasonable adjustments for cost overruns and inflation.

Streets and Highways The major thoroughfare network system in Genesee County includes freeways, principal arterials and minor arterials. These systems connect Genesee County with the remainder of the State of Michigan and the nation. Route US-23 and I-75 are north-south thoroughfares and connect Genesee County to the recreational areas in northern Michigan and Canada and to the manufacturing and industry complexes south of Genesee County. Route US-23 connects the City of Toledo directly to the City of Flint and continues north to the City of Saginaw, Bay City, and along the Lake Huron shoreline. I-75 connects the City of Detroit, Michigan and several states to the south with the Genesee County community, proceeds northerly to the Saginaw, Bay City and Midland area, and on to the Mackinaw Bridge.
To the east, Genesee County is connected to the City of Lapeer, City of Port Huron and Canada by I-69. Westbound I-69 connects Genesee County with the City of Lansing and other areas to the west. I-69 is a major trade route between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. The Blue Water Bridge at Port Huron is the second busiest truck crossing between Canada and the U.S, and funnels a vast majority of the truck traffic to I-69.
The I-475 route forms a freeway loop within the urbanized area. This freeway also provides an alternate route when traveling through Genesee County and the City of Flint when traveling North or South. In addition, it allows easy access to one of the City of Flint's auto manufacturing areas. Local traffic demands are met by M-57 traversing the northern portion of the county, intersecting M-13 to the west and M-15 to the east. South of Grand Blanc, M-54 branches from I-75 and continues north through the City of Flint. M-54 allows direct travel into local commercial districts before exiting through the northern section of the county. The M-21 route assists consumers traveling to Flint by providing a direct route from the county's western boundary to Flint's Central Business District. Existing and proposed freeways in the county are limited access divided highways. Minimum pavement width is four 12-foot lanes. I-75 is a six-lane facility. The predominant road pattern in the county, excepting freeways and some local streets in new subdivisions, is based on the common gridiron principle. Pavement widths vary on many of the existing non-freeway roads. Independent design and coordination efforts, varying dedication of rights-of-way, inconsistencies associated with land development policies, and changing construction standards contribute to the lack of uniformity.

The principal and minor arterial roads within the urbanized areas generally have right-of-way widths with capacity to provide four-lane traffic movement. However, many local streets do not have sufficient right-of-way for two moving traffic lanes when parking is permitted on both sides.

Public Transportation The Mass Transportation Authority (MTA) serves public transportation needs within the Flint-Genesee County area. The MTA was created in 1971 as a public authority under the provisions of Act No. 55 of the Public Acts of Michigan of 1963. This authority was then granted the ability to own, maintain and operate a mass transportation system by the Flint City Council by City Ordinance #2297. Service to the City of Flint and its urbanized area was instituted with local business encouragement, help from the Michigan Department of Transportation, and financial aid from the Flint City Council in December 1971. In 1996, the MTA was reorganized as a countywide authority. The eleven-member board includes representatives of the City of Flint Administration, Flint City Council, Genesee County Board of Commissioners, the townships, small cities, educational institutions and residents of Flint and Genesee County.
The MTA is a public corporation established to own and operate a public transportation system for the citizens of Genesee County. Funding for MTA operations is generated from a combination of revenues from passenger fares, local transportation millages and state resources. Capital funds for buildings and equipment are provided by federal and state grants. The Mission of the Mass Transportation Authority is to transport all people that desire public transportation services within Genesee County through an integrated
system that is safe, efficient and responsive. The Flint Mass Transportation Authority (MTA) provides over 5.6 million public transit trips annually through six types of service. The MTA currently operates primary routes, senior shopper service, Rides to Groceries, peak routes, regional routes, and paratransit service. There are fourteen primary routes. Thirteen (13) of the primary routes depart from the terminal located at the Inter-modal Transportation Center in downtown Flint. These routes radiate out into the City of Flint and selected locations in Genesee County. The primary fixed routes operate from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on thirty (30) minute intervals and on one (1) hour intervals until 9:30 p.m. Saturday service operates from 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. on one (1) hour intervals and on Sunday from 7:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on one (1) hour intervals. The peak routes provide commuter service during peak periods with selected stops, providing service to the general public, workers and student populations. These routes operate weekdays, morning and afternoon. The MTA also provides a demand response paratransit service known as "Your Ride". This service supplements fixed routes and serves those sectors of the public who cannot effectively use the regular fixed route services, due to disability or lack of access to a nearby fixed route. Within the City of Flint, eligibility is limited to persons who have mobility restrictions. Outside the fixed route area, any Genesee County resident can use the Your Ride service. The MTA has eleven (11) Your Ride Service Centers with
6
locations in Burton, East Flint, West Flint, Grand Blanc, Fenton, Flushing, Mt. Morris, Swartz Creek, Clio, Otisville and Davison. Through a State of Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) Specialized Services grant program, the MTA provides various community agencies with funding assistance for those populations with specialized transportation needs, such as the elderly and persons with disabilities. The availability of these specialized services makes daily activities possible for many elderly and disabled citizens in various communities throughout Genesee County. Regional Transportation was implemented in September 1997. Regional service routes originate at the MTA Customer Service Center at Harrison and Second Street in Downtown Flint and provide regular scheduled service to adjoining counties. Service is open to the general public but scheduled to meet the needs of Genesee County residents who need transportation to a work site outside of Genesee County. Regional routes are provided for five (5) counties surrounding Genesee County and some routes connect with suburban Detroit transit routes. This service is provided seven (7) days a week to meet the transportation needs of Genesee County residents.

Mass Transportation Authority - Documentation of Financial Capacity The Federal Transit Administration's Financial Capacity Policy defines financial capacity as having two aspects: 1) the overall current financial condition of the organization; and, 2) the future financial capability of the organization to meet operating and capital costs. The Mass Transportation Authority has management systems in place to insure its financial integrity. The Planning-Programming-Budgeting System (PPBS) is used to set organizational direction and goals. The elements of the PPBS are:
1. The Five Year Plan, which is updated annually, to describe the level of services which will be provided by the MTA throughout a five year planning period;
2. The Five Year Program, which identifies the operating and capital resources
required to provide the services described in the Five Year Plan; and 3. Budget projections, which cost out the operating and capital resources
described in the Five Year Plan. Expense budgets must meet the constraints defined by revenue budgets.
The PPBS procedure ensures that financial capability is a factor in decisions about services and capital investments. Current financial capacity is reviewed monthly; an annual performance summary is included in the Five Year Plan, and an annual audit is performed in accordance with OMB circular A-128. The MTA's financial capacity was reviewed during the Triennial Review conducted during the summer of 2015 and no findings were noted. Passage of millages dedicated to public transportation in the City of Flint and Genesee County in 2000, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2012, and 2015 strengthen the MTA's future financial capability. Millage revenues are an important and necessary source of local revenue to sustain transit services designed to meet local needs. They are a property tax subject to voter approval and the amount of revenue received varies as property values fluctuate. This will be further augmented by a state funding formula that is based in part on local contributions, so that increased local financial commitment is rewarded with increased state financial commitment.

Section 2: Financial Plan

FY 2017-FY 2020 TIP Draft Financial Plan Introduction The function of the TIP Financial Plan is to manage available federal-aid highway and transit resources in a cost-effective and efficient manner. Specifically, the Financial Plan details:
1. Available highway and transit funding (federal, state, and local); 2. Fiscal constraint (cost of projects cannot exceed revenues reasonably expected
to be available); 3. Expected rate of change in available funding (unrelated to inflation); 4. Year of Expenditure (YOE) factor to adjust for predicted inflation; 5. Estimate of Operations and Maintenance (O and M) costs for the federal-aid
highway system (FAHS). Available Highway and Transit Funding The majority of federal highway and transit funding is derived from federal motor fuel taxes, currently 18.4 cents per gallon on gasoline and 24.4 cents per gallon on diesel. These funds are deposited in the Highway Trust Fund (HTF). A portion of these funds is retained in the Mass Transit Account of the HTF for distribution to public transit agencies and states. In recent years, the HTF has seen large infusions of cash from the federal General Fund, due to declining collections from motor fuel taxes. This is mostly due to increased fuel efficiency in conventionally-powered vehicles, as well as a growing number of hybrid and fully-electric vehicles that require little to no motor fuel. There are a number of federal highway programs serving different purposes. Appendix A contains a list of these programs. Federal highway funds are apportioned to the states (apportionment means distribution of funds according to formulas established by law) and then a portion is allocated to local agencies based on the population in each region. Genesee County receives approximately $10.6 million in federal-aid highway funding each year. In addition, The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) spends approximately $17.3 million annually for capital needs on state-owned highways in the region (I-, US-, and M- roads). Like the highway programs, there are a number of federal transit programs, the list of which can also be found in Appendix A. Transit funds are distributed according to a complex set of distribution formulas. Public transit agencies within Genesee County receive approximately $8.2 million in federal-aid transit funding each year. State funding for transportation comes from vehicle registration fees and motor fuel taxes. Currently, state motor fuel taxes are set at 19 cents per gallon on gasoline and 15 cents per gallon on diesel. The state also levies a six percent sales tax on the wholesale and federal tax portion of each gallon of motor fuel. Virtually none of this sales tax revenue goes to transportation. Funding from motor fuel taxes and registration fees (but not the sales tax) is deposited in the Michigan Transportation Fund (MTF), which is analogous to the federal HTF. The current gross receipts to the MTF are approximately $1.95 billion annually. The Comprehensive Transportation Fund (CTF) within the MTF is used for transit. Currently, a little under $167 million is deposited by the state into the CTF
12
each year. MTF funding, after set-asides, is distributed to the State Trunkline fund (I-, US-, and M-designated roads) and to counties, cities, and villages throughout the state. A series of laws enacted in November 2015 increased state funding for transportation. The Michigan House Fiscal Agency estimates that, starting in FY 2016, an additional $455 million will be raised, increasing each year until FY 2020, when it’s expected that the increase will stabilize at an additional $1.2 billion per year.1 Local funding is much more difficult to predict. There is a patchwork of transportation millages, special assessment districts, downtown development authorities, and other funding mechanisms throughout the region. Therefore, this Financial Plan does not attempt to quantify current non-federal funding or forecast future non-federal funding revenues, except for MTF and CTF. Fiscal Constraint and Project Selection The most important financial consideration when creating and/or maintaining a TIP is fiscal constraint. This means that each year’s list of projects cannot exceed the amount of funding reasonably expected to be available in the fiscal year. Funding is considered “reasonably expected to be available” if the federal, state, and local funding amounts are based on amounts received in past years, with rates of change developed cooperatively between MDOT, transportation planning agencies, and public transportation agencies. Note that these rates of change are not the same as inflation; rather, they are forecasts of the amount of funding that will be made available by the federal, state, and local governments. In Michigan, this cooperative process is facilitated by the Michigan Transportation Planning Association (MTPA), whose members include the aforementioned agencies, plus the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The MTPA has determined that recent federal transportation funding shortfalls make it prudent to hold federal funding levels at a two percent annual rate of increase for all four years of the FY 2017-FY 2020 TIP (see Appendix B). The Genesee County Metropolitan Alliance (GCMA) is the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for Genesee County and is made up of representatives from cities, villages, townships and various transportation agencies such as the Flint Mass Transportation Authority (MTA), Genesee County Road Commission (GCRC), and the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). GCMA works with its’ membership to develop federal funding targets for highway and transit projects in Genesee County. The committee also develops applications and scoring criteria used for project selection. Project applications are selected based on scores generated primarily from pavement condition and the average daily traffic count. Safety, complete streets improvements, and other factors also are considered. MDOT has a similar project selection process. Agencies throughout the state use asset management principles approved by the Michigan Transportation Asset Management Council (TAMC), whose duties are prescribed by state law. Transit agencies each select projects based on internal assessment of capital and operations needs. 1 Hamilton, William E., Jim Stansell, and Kyle I. Jen. “Road Funding Package—Enacted Analysis.” Lansing, MI, House Fiscal Agency, November 2015.

Year of Expenditure (YOE) When MDOT, local transportation agencies, and public transit agencies program their projects, they are expected to adjust costs using year of expenditure (YOE) dollars. YOE simply means that project costs have been adjusted for expected inflation. This is not the same as expected rates of funding change (see previous section). Each agency has its own inflation factor(s), based on past experience. However, MDOT has developed YOE factors for itself and any agency that hasn’t developed its own. For the upcoming FY 2017-FY 2020 TIP cycle, they are five percent for FY 2017 and FY 2018, 4.5 percent for FY 2019, and four percent for FY 2020. See Appendix B for more details. Summary: Resources available for capital needs on the federal-aid highway system Table 1 contains a summary of the predicted resources that will be available for capital needs on the federal-aid highway system in Genesee County over fiscal years 2017 through 2020. The only local (i.e., non-federal) funding included is funding required to match federal-aid funds. This is usually about 20 percent of the cost of each project. Table 1. Forecast of Resources Available for Capital Needs on the Federal-Aid Highway System in Genesee County (millions of dollars).
2017 2018 2019 2020 $54.5 $86.0 $19.4 $18.4
Estimate of Operations and Maintenance Costs for the Federal-Aid Highway System Almost all federal-aid highway funding is restricted to capital costs; i.e., the cost to build and maintain the actual physical assets of the federal-aid highway system (essentially, all I-, US-, and M- designated roads, plus most public roads functionally classified as “collector” or higher). Operations and maintenance (O and M) costs, such as snow and ice removal, pothole patching, rubbish removal, electricity costs to operate streetlights and traffic signals, etc. are the responsibility of MDOT or local road agencies, depending on road ownership. Nevertheless, federal regulations require an estimate of O and M costs on the federal-aid highway system over the years covered by the TIP. Appendix B explains the method and assumptions used to formulate the estimate. Table 2 contains a summary O and M cost estimate for roads on the federal-aid highway system in Genesee County. These funds are not shown in the TIP, because most highway operations and maintenance costs are not eligible for federal-aid. The amounts shown are increased by the agreed-upon estimated YOE (i.e., inflation) factors (see Appendix B for a discussion of YOE adjustments). Table 2. Forecast of Operations and Maintenance Costs on the Federal-Aid System in Genesee County (millions of dollars).
2017 2018 2019 2020 $48 $48.6 $49.1 $49.7

Summary: Resources available for capital needs of Public Transit Agencies Transit agencies receive their funding from a variety of sources: federal, state, and local. Federal funding is distributed, in large part, according to the population of the urbanized area and/or state. For example, Section 5307 (Urbanized Area Formula Grant) funds are distributed directly to large transit agencies located within Transportation Management Areas (TMAs; urbanized areas with more than 200,000 residents) such as the MTA in the Flint-Genesee County TMA. Section 5307 funds are distributed to federally-specified transit agencies in urbanized areas between 100,000 and 199,999 residents. For areas under 100,000 population, the state can generally award funding at its discretion. Other sources of funding are more specialized, such as Section 5310 (Transportation for Elderly and Persons with Disabilities) and Section 5311 (for rural areas). See Appendix A for more information on federal transit resources. The State of Michigan, through the MDOT Office of Passenger Transportation (OPT), also distributes CTF funding to match federal-aid, for job access reverse commute (providing access to available employment for persons in low-income areas), and for local bus operating (LBO). LBO funds are very important to the agencies as federal-aid funding for transit, like federal-aid funding for highways, is almost entirely for capital expenses. Local funding can come from farebox revenues, a community’s general fund, millages, and other sources. As with local highway funding, local transit funding can be difficult to predict. Therefore, this chapter will only include federal and state resources available for transit. Table 3 contains a summary of the predicted resources that will be available for capital needs (and some operations needs, depending on the program) for public transit in Genesee County during fiscal years 2017 through 2020. Federal funding reasonably expected to be available is included. CTF funding expected to be distributed by the MDOT Office of Passenger Transportation to public transit agencies in Genesee County is also included. Table 3. Forecast of Resources Available for Public Transit Capital Needs in Genesee County (millions of dollars).
2017 2018 2019 2020 $12.5 $12.6 $12.5 $12.5
Demonstration of Financial Constraint, FY 2017 through FY 2020 After determination of resources available for federal-aid highway and transit capital needs in the Genesee County from FY 2017 through FY 2020, and matching those available resources to specific needs, a four-year program of projects is created within the context of the region’s transportation policies as contained in the 2040 Regional Transportation Plan. The list must be adjusted to each year’s YOE factor and then fiscally constrained to available revenues (see Appendix B). Table 4 contains a
15
summary of the cost of highway and transit projects programmed over the four-year TIP period, matched to revenues available in that same period. This table shows that the FY 2017 through FY 2020 TIP is fiscally constrained. Note: Operations and maintenance costs of the federal-aid highway system are included in the text of this chapter. However, these costs are not included in the TIP itself, as nearly all highway operations and maintenance costs are ineligible for federal-aid funding. Table 4. Demonstration of fiscal constraint, FY 2017 through FY 2020 TIP (millions of dollars).

Public Participation Process
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION An intensive public involvement process was undertaken in the development of the 2017-2020 Genesee County Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). In the following Public Involvement Section, staff has documented public involvement activities for the development of the TIP. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION MAILING LIST GCMPC maintains an extensive public participation mailing list that is used to provide information and notice to the public on transportation planning activities. The list includes many representatives of the following: neighborhood block groups, senior centers, area churches, chambers of commerce, government agencies and local transportation providers (including limousine, taxi cab, trucking, rail and airports), labor unions, Veterans of Foreign Wars groups, academic institutions, schools and public libraries, area media (including newspapers, radio and television stations) and bilingual organizations. This list is continually maintained and updated regularly. A complete mailing list of the 1,569 entries (as of April 2016) is maintained at the GCMPC office. A category breakdown of the mailing list indicates the following percentages: 5% of the list represents community organizations (76) 12% of the list represents concerned citizens (190) 1% of the list represents organizations for the disabled (3) 13% of the list represents educational organizations (205) 15% of the list represents elected officials (236) 15% of the list represents governmental organizations (235) 12% of the list represents neighborhood associations (194) 9% of the list represents other businesses (144) 5% of the list represents religious organizations (80) 12% of the list represents senior citizen organizations (190) 1% of the list represents transportation-related businesses (16) PUBLIC OUTREACH
GCMPC utilized a number of outreach methods including public outreach events to enable the public to participate in the Genesee County 2017-2020 TIP update process. These methods were designed to generate an increase in public participation during the update. At each event, staff sought input and recommendations from the public.
In October of 2015, GCMPC staff began the TIP development process with the announcement of the 2017-2020 TIP “Call for Projects”. A public notice appeared in the Flint Journal to announce that GCMPC was accepting applications for the 2017-2020 TIP. Notifications similar to the public notice were mailed to our entire public participation mailing list, as well as every local
18
unit of government. Notifications were also sent to the Genesee County Road Commission, the Mass Transportation Authority, and the Michigan Department of Transportation. A copy of the Call for Projects announcement also appeared on the GCMPC website, www.gcmpc.org.
In early March of 2016, GCMPC performed a mass mailing along the proposed
project corridors to ensure notification to those citizens who would be most directly impacted by the proposed transportation projects. A total of 2,184 flyers were mailed to households along all proposed project corridors. Each notification listed the project, project limits, and the type of improvement to be performed. These notifications also served as an invitation for public input as each public event’s date, time, and location were included on the flyers. A similar flyer was sent out to 1,542 entities on our public involvement mailing list, bringing the total number of flyers to 3,726. Information was also placed on our web site promoting the public input sessions.
In March of 2016, three public input sessions were organized. The three events
were held in strategic locations throughout Genesee County to offer the most convenient opportunity for local citizens to communicate with GCMPC regarding the proposed transportation projects. GCMPC staff and local road agencies were available to answer questions and to explain projects. Staff used visualization techniques as identified in our Public Participation Plan (PPP) such as maps and photographs to help explain projects. Staff provided comment sheets to session attendees, and received comments via e-mail and telephone. The first event was held at the Flint Farmers’ Market in downtown Flint (center of county), the second at the Swartz Creek City Hall in Swartz Creek, (west side of county) and the last at the Davison Farmers’ Market in Davison (east side of county).
A thirty-day public comment period was held for the draft 2017-2020 Genesee County Transportation Improvement Program from May 2, 2016 through May 31, 2016. Prior to this 30-day public comment period, the draft document was made available to all county road agencies, the Mass Transportation Authority, all local units of government, and on the GCMPC website. In addition, the draft TIP was available at the GCMPC office with staff to respond directly to any public concerns or questions. Notices of the public comment period were placed in the Flint Journal newspaper and posted on the GCMPC website. Comments were received via phone, fax or e-mail.
A Public Hearing was held on June 15, 2016 at the Genesee County
Administration Building during the regularly scheduled Metropolitan Alliance meeting. All events were also listed on the GCMPC website, www.gcmpc.org.
19
CONSULTATION In an attempt to receive comments on particular projects and to see how our TIP may affect the plans that have been developed by other agencies, staff consulted with 194 agencies that are responsible for environmental protection, historic preservation, natural resource management, transportation services, economic development, human services and land use planning. Letters were mailed to these agencies with a list of proposed transportation projects for their review. A copy of the letter and the list of agencies are included in the appendix of this document. Five agencies responded with comments, which were addressed in a timely manner and taken into consideration during TIP development. Copies of the comments are included in this document’s appendix.

Section 4: Environmental Justice
21
Environmental Justice
The Genesee County Metropolitan Planning Commission (GCMPC) conducted an Environmental Justice (EJ) analysis for the proposed projects in the 2017-2020 Transportation Improvement Program. The analysis undertaken by GCMPC supports principles and requirements of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI), the Executive Order (E.O.) 12898 and the 1997 U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) Order to Address Environmental Justice. In order to consider Title VI and E.O.12898, and also achieve environmental justice in the planning and construction of this project, the analysis was based on Environmental Justice Guidelines developed by the U.S. DOT, Federal Highway (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administrations (FTA). In 2012, the department of transportation issued an update to the original order from 1997. This updated Order reaffirms DOT's commitment to environmental justice and clarifies certain aspects of the original Order, including the definitions of "minority" populations in compliance with the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Revisions to the Standards for the Classification of Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity of October 30, 1997. The revisions clarify the distinction between a Title VI analysis and an environmental justice analysis conducted as part of a NEPA review, and affirm the importance of considering environmental justice principles as part of early planning activities in order to avoid disproportionately high and adverse effects. The updated Order maintains the original Orders general framework and procedures and DOT's commitment to promoting the principles of environmental justice in all DOT programs, policies, and activities. To meet this goal, staff used the following three environmental justice principals throughout the development of the Transportation Improvement Program.
To avoid, minimize, or mitigate disproportionately high and adverse human health and environmental effects, including social and economic effects, on minority populations and low-income populations.
To ensure the full and fair participation by all potentially affected communities in the transportation decision-making process.
To prevent the denial of, reduction in, or significant delay in the receipt of benefits by minority and low-income populations.
The following process will analyze whether the GCMPC has addressed the EJ principles in the 2017-2020 Transportation Improvement Program:

Genesee County average percentages were developed for the populations identified in E.O. 12898 as "persons belonging to any of the following groups: American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian American, Black/African American, Hispanic of any origin, Native Hawaiian & Other Pacific Islander, and persons whose income is at or below poverty guidelines.
22
2. Maps showing Genesee County areas where these identified populations are concentrated were developed based on 2010 Census Block Group level data for all categories except “Persons of Low Income.” For this identified population, American Community Survey (ACS) 2007-2011 Census Tract Data was used.
3. These areas of concentration in which the percentage of identified persons exceeds the Threshold Percentage were determined to be EJ Zones.
4. The EJ Zones were related to the location of the projects contained within the TIP
for further analysis of the proposed projects to ensure that the proposed projects deliver equitable levels of service to all persons and to determine any disproportionate impacts to identified populations.
5. An intensive public involvement effort was designed to eliminate participation
barriers and engage minority and low-income persons in the decision making process for the proposed projects.
6. Conclusions were drawn from the EJ analysis of the proposed projects.
Development of Genesee County "Average Percentages" It is important to identify patterns of minority and low-income populations so that their needs can be identified and addressed, and that benefits and burdens of transportation investments can be fairly distributed. In order to determine the EJ effects of any federal-aid transportation project, it is necessary to identify areas within Genesee County in which the levels of identified population groups meet or surpass the average levels for the County. Calculating the average number of persons in the identified groups and applying that percentage to each Census Block Group within the County allowed the established of these areas. The average percentages are based on information from the U.S. Bureau of the Census – 2010 Block Group level data. The total population of Genesee County in 2010 was 425,790. This analysis considered 414,774 persons (97.4%) of the total who declared themselves to be of one race in the 2010 Census. Percentages for American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian & Other Pacific Islander, and Black/African American of one race were taken of the total of one race. Persons of Hispanic origin are of any race, and therefore the County average and Threshold Percentage is derived from the total Genesee County population.

Targeted Groups Maps based on 2010 Census information were developed for each of the identified population groups. Information relative to each map is included. Ranges were set to distinguish areas below and above the county average.
24
Location of American Indian/Alaskan Native Population The map on the following page illustrates Genesee County areas where the concentration of American Indian/Alaskan Native persons within each Block Group is greater than the Genesee County average percentage. In 2010, there were 2,252 persons (0.5% of the Total of One Race Population) residing in Genesee County that indicated themselves to be of the American Indian/Alaskan Native race.
25
Location of Asian Populations The following map illustrates Genesee County areas where the concentration of Asian American persons within each Block Group is greater than the Genesee County average. In 2010, there were 3,879 persons (0.9% of the Total of One Race Population) residing in Genesee County that indicated themselves to be of the Asian race.
26
Location of Black/African American Populations The following map illustrates Genesee County areas where the concentration of Black/African American persons within each Block Group is greater than the Genesee County average percentage. In 2010, there were 88,127 persons (20.7% of the Total of One Race Population) residing in Genesee County that indicated themselves to be of the Black/African American race.
27
Location of Hispanic (of any race) Populations The following map illustrates Genesee County areas where the concentration of Hispanic Origin (of any race) persons within each Block Group is greater than the Genesee County average. In 2010, there were 12,983 persons (3.1% of the Total Population) residing in Genesee County that indicated themselves to be of Hispanic Origin of any race.
28
Location of Native Hawaiian & Other Pacific Islander Populations The following map illustrates Genesee County areas where the concentration of Native Hawaiian & Other Pacific Islander persons within each Block Group is greater than the Genesee County average. In 2010, there were 79 persons (0.02% of the Total Population) residing in Genesee County that indicated themselves to be of Native Hawaiian & Other Pacific Islander.
29
Low Income Populations The following table presents several data items relative to low-income populations. Recognizing the varied categories of representative data, GCMPC has chosen the Census defined Universe of “Persons whose income is at or below the poverty level” to analyze transportation planning activities and any associated EJ effects on this population. The “Persons” data Universe is consistent with the data level used for analysis for each of the other identified populations.

Location of Persons with Low Income American Community Survey 2007-2011 Census Tract Data for persons residing in Genesee County, whose income during that time period was below the poverty level, is illustrated on this map. Areas of concentration occur for this group where the number of persons below the poverty level in a Census Tract is greater than the Genesee County average percentage of 18.8%.
31
Genesee County Comparison To compare the composition of Genesee County’s population to other areas, an analysis of the six selected minority populations was conducted and compared to state and national figures. The table below illustrates these figures. Genesee County has a high percentage of residents of Black/African American persons as well as residents below the poverty line. Of the other populations studied—American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Hispanic, and Native Hawaiian & Other Pacific Islander Origin—all are below state and national averages.

Environmental Justice Zones An Environmental Justice (EJ) Zone was established wherever the percentages of identified populations per each Census Block Group (or Census Tract for Persons of Low Income) met or exceeded the average threshold percentage for Genesee County. Of the total 649 square miles that make up Genesee County, there are 429 square miles (66%) identified as EJ Zones. Each EJ Zone is depicted in yellow in the map on the following page. Staff utilized this information in order to assess the significance of transportation projects on identified population groups.
32
33
GCMPC staff identified environmental justice areas and the projects proposed for those areas. Any property parcel that touches the proposed roadway improvement within an Environmental Justice area is highlighted through the use of Geographic Information System (GIS) technology. From the data, a mailing list is generated and GCMPC staff sends notices to all property owners along the proposed corridors notifying them of the potential project. Public meetings are also held for the purpose of providing citizens the opportunity to learn more about the transportation planning process as a whole. This level of analysis and notification helps to insure that neighborhoods are informed of projects, have the ability to provide input into the transportation planning process, and are minimally impacted by future transportation improvements. TIP Projects The 2017-2020 Transportation Improvement Program contains 140 projects that are located within an EJ Zone. For purposes of this analysis, staff makes the assumption that the improvement of the condition of the transportation system through these types of transportation projects also is a direct improvement to the overall well-being of the community. Projects which are an expansion of the transportation system may have potential adverse impacts to the community through the displacement or relocation of individuals, economic hardship or losing a sense of community. There are a total of three expansion projects, all of which are located in an EJ Zone. Of these three expansion projects, two will have a minor impact on the community. These projects will improve travel time, safety and access for the residents within the EJ zone and provide a measure of congestion relief. However, the Dort Highway Extension Project could potentially result in displacement of residents. Residents often find relocation difficult, especially if persons in the home are elderly, have disabilities, depend upon local networks for social support, or have lived in the home for many years. The Dort Highway Extension Project also potentially impacts near-by wetlands. This project will continue to be monitored as the project develops through the preliminary engineering and right-of-way acquisition phases. All federal regulations related to the potential displacement of residents and environmental impacts will be followed to minimize the potential impacts. Summary GMCPC's analysis concludes that the Transportation Improvement Program meets Environmental Justice principles of Title VI, and E.O. 12898 and the U.S. DOT Order by demonstrating the following: 1. To avoid, minimize, or mitigate disproportionately high and adverse human health and
environmental effects, including social and economic effects, on minority populations and low-income populations.
The public participation process for the proposed projects has ascertained that
persons residing within Genesee County have indicated there to be no adverse effects that will result from the proposed projects, with the exception of the Dort Highway Extension Project. This project generated a great deal of public
34
controversy due to potential displacement of residents and concerns about near-by wetlands. It has been determined that no adverse impacts are readily associated with the proposed system improvements, and should any impact(s) be identified during the implementation phase, such impact(s) will be appropriately mitigated in accordance with Federal guidelines and regulations.
Economic conditions will not be adversely impacted, no existing businesses must relocate, and access to jobs will not be adversely affected within Genesee County.
The proposed projects do not adversely affect mobility and access for persons
residing in Genesee County to businesses, public services and other area facilities.
2. To ensure the full and fair participation by all potentially affected communities.
This was accomplished through a public outreach process of mailing notification cards to each of the households surrounding the proposed projects as well as mailing notification cards to all of the individuals and groups on our Public Participation Mailing List.
In addition, a public announcement on the proposed projects and a notification
of the Public Hearing were published in the Flint Journal newspaper. These same notices were published on the GCMPC's website: www.gcmpc.org with a dedicated e-mail address for staff to receive and respond to any and all public comments on the proposed projects.
Three public input sessions for the proposed projects were held throughout
Genesee County: one in east Genesee County; one in west Genesee County; and one in the City of Flint. Staff felt that these strategic locations provided an open forum that would be well received and attended by persons interested in the proposed projects.
Staff was available during the public input sessions to provide information, take
comments, answer questions, and to respond to any public concerns on the proposed projects.
3. To prevent the denial of, reduction in, or significant delay in the receipt of benefits by
minority and low-income populations.
This is achieved by maintaining system-wide policies that are the same for every person in Genesee County.
Genesee County "Your Ride" passengers have access to direct travel services and
links to any destination including work, shopping, and recreational trips.
35
The proposed transportation improvement projects are an economic investment in an area where identified populations are concentrated.
Conclusions This analysis concludes that there will be no disproportionately high or adverse impacts to any of those persons identified in Executive Order 12898 of 1994. In addition, this analysis concludes that the proposed projects have not excluded any person from participation in, nor does it deny or delay benefits to, or discriminate against any person or group of persons in Genesee County.

Section 5: Air Quality Analysis
37
Air Quality Transportation Conformity Transportation Improvement Program 2017-2020
The Clean Air Act (CAA) was established to improve the air, protect public health, and protect the environment. The CAA has been amended over the years, most significantly in the 1990s. The act requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to set, review, and revise the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) periodically. There are six NAAQS pollutants: ozone (O3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon monoxide (CO), lead (Pb), sulfur dioxide (SO2), particulate matter (PM). PM is subdivided into particulate sizes, less than 10 micrometer in diameter (PM10) and less than 2.5 micrometer in diameter (PM2.5). Generators of air pollution are classified into four main types: stationary sources, area sources, non-road mobile sources, and on-road mobile sources. Example of generators by source category are shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 Air Pollution Sources
Source: MDOT Photography Unit
The CAA links together air quality planning and transportation planning through the transportation conformity process. Air quality planning is controlled by Michigan’s State Implementation Plan (SIP) which includes the state’s plans for attaining or maintaining the NAAQS. The main transportation planning tools are the metropolitan transportation long range plan (LRP) and the metropolitan transportation improvement program (TIP).
Stationary Sources Industrial sources,
refineries, and electric utilities
Area Sources Dry cleaners, paints,
and solvents
Non-Road Mobile Sources Boats, aircraft, trains,
and construction equipment
On-Road Mobile Sources Commuter rail and vehicles expected to be on roadways such as cars, trucks, and
buses
38
Transportation conformity ensures that federal funding and approval are given to highway and transit activities that are consistent with the SIP and that these activities will not affect Michigan’s ability to achieve the NAAQS. Transportation activities that are subject to conformity are LRPs, TIPs, and all non-exempt federal projects that receive Federal Highway or Federal Transit Administration funding or approval. The conformity process ensures emissions from the LRP, TIP, or projects, are within acceptable levels specified within the SIP and meet the goals of the SIP. Transportation conformity only applies to on-road sources and transportation related pollutants:
ozone, particulate matter at 2.5 and 10, nitrogen dioxide, and carbon monoxide.
In addition to emissions that are directly emitted, regulations specifically require certain precursor pollutants to be addressed. Precursor pollutants are those pollutants which contribute to the formation of other pollutants. For example, ozone is not directly emitted, but created when nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) react with sunlight. Shown in Table 1, are the transportation pollutants and associated precursors. Pollutants can be both directly emitted and also formed due to precursors. Not all precursors are required to be analyzed for a pollutant; it depends on what is causing the pollutant to form in an area.

Table 1 Transportation Pollutants and Precursor Emissions
The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) uses monitors throughout the state to measure pollutant levels and then to determine if concentrations exceed the NAAQS. For each pollutant, an area is classified as either: attainment (under the standard), nonattainment (area has more pollutant then allowed), unclassifiable/attainment (insufficient information to support an attainment or nonattainment classification; the conformity requirement are the same as for an attainment area) or maintenance (an area was nonattainment, but is now under the standard and has been for a determined time). Transportation conformity is required for areas designated nonattainment or maintenance. In October 2015, the EPA lowered the ozone NAAQS to 0.070 parts per million (ppm). The state of Michigan is currently in the process of recommending nonattainment areas to the EPA around five monitors which are exceeding the 2015 ozone standard as measured by the most current three years (2013 – 2015) of data. Allegan, Muskegon, Berrien, St. Clair, and Macomb counties each have one monitor exceeding the NAAQS. The nonattainment area boundaries surrounding each monitor will be determined by analyzing five factors; monitor data, location of sources contributing to ozone, metrology, geography/topography, and jurisdictional boundaries. MDEQ has until October 1, 2016 to make nonattainment boundary recommendations. EPA will make final official designations by October 1, 2017, using the most current available three years of data for that time (2014 – 2016). Consequently, state recommended areas could be different than the EPA’s final designations because of the additional years of data being analyzed. Therefore, areas currently exceeding the standard might drop out while other areas could become nonattainment. MPOs that are designated nonattainment for ozone on October 1, 2017 must demonstrate conformity of LRP and TIP within one year. Currently the Flint-Genesee County MPO is in attainment for all transportation pollutants.

FY 2017-2020 TIP Performance Measure Related Projects
Below is a listing of the total amount of money programmed in the original approved FY 2017-2020 TIP that will make progress towards the performance measure categories listed below.
The following table shows the average amount spent in a typical year for each performance measure category according to historical spending data outlined in the 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan. It should be noted that the funding in these categories can rise and fall in any given year due to large capital projects being implemented at the state or local level and varying levels of grants and discretionary funds awarded. For example, local agencies apply for funds for bridge, transit, safety, system performance and non-motorized programs which are competitive on a statewide level. These annual grant awards will be added to the funding amounts in the categories above.
Project Category Amount Programmed Impact on Condition
Safety / Non-Motorized $20,438,873 Reduce potential for motor vehicle
crashes and non-motorized crashes, injuries and fatalities
Pavement Preservation $98,361,022 Improve surface condition and IRI,
eliminate issues with cracking, rutting and faulting
Transit $53,304,231 Reduce percentage of vehicles,
equipment and facilities that are past useful life benchmark
Bridges $14,181,172 Reduce number of structurally deficient
and functionally obsolete bridges
System Performance / Congestion
$39,831,499 Improve freight movement, reduce traffic
congestion and associated user delay costs
Category Average Annual Spending
Safety / Non-Motorized $3,119,695
Pavement Preservation $17,741,484
Transit $15,974,448
Bridges $15,561,451
System Performance / Congestion $2,061,038
Section 7: TIP Assurances, Procedures, and Policies
54
Project Selection and Prioritization Policy
The following policy has been drafted to establish an objective method of selecting Federal Transportation projects on the basis of local priorities. The selection process shall be a natural progression of projects from the current Flint- Genesee County Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP), the Congestion Management Plan, the Transit Long Range Transportation Plan and the MDOT 5 Year Plan. The oversight of this process shall be through a Transportation System Management (TSM) task force. The designated task force shall be a subcommittee of the Technical Advisory Committee organized under Section 143 of Title 23. Local project selection shall be done on a point rating system as identified in the TIP application. In order to objectively evaluate the project proposals, they must contain the following information:
1. The scope of the project, including termini, where applicable 2. A description of work 3. A realistic estimate of costs 4. Match
The project prioritization process shall be done by fiscal year and by funding category. These funding categories include the following:
• STU (Surface Transportation Urban (also includes Flex funding) eligible activities include; preserve, expand, improve, transit, safety, bridge, enhancement, and studies.
• NH (National Highway System) – for projects located on the National Highway System
• STL (Surface Transportation – Local) eligible activities include; preserve, expand, improve, transit, safety, bridge, enhancement, and studies in areas outside of the urban boundary.
• TAU – Transportation Alternatives Program – Non-motorized forms of transportation including sidewalks, bicycle infrastructure, pedestrian and bicycle signals
• Economic Development Category C (EDC) – State – expand projects • Section 5307 – urbanized transit program • Section 5310 – Transit – Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with
Disabilities • Section 5311 – Transit – Formula Grants for Rural Areas • Section 5339 – Transit – Bus and Bus Facilities • Flex Funds – FAST Act allows for the “flexing of funds” between highway and
transit projects. If the MPO decides that it is in its best interest to shift dollars to either transit or highway interests, an application to “flex” funds will be submitted to FTA and FHWA for their approval prior to obligating these funds.
• CM/CMG – Congestion Mitigation/Air Quality (CMAQ)
Financial Constraint
Projects to be included in the TIP shall be consistent with the Federal, State, and Local allocations or fund balance. Funds and funding sources must be reasonably available. Although projects may be moved between years within the TIP, the funding must remain in the year it was programmed. Implementation of projects from the TIP will be on a first-come, first-served basis within each funding source until obligational authority is expended.
55
Plan Preparation Guidelines It will be the policy of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) to direct all agencies submitting projects for consideration to include the items listed below as part of the Preserve, Safety and Expand applications, and that the associated costs be submitted in the application and considered in the evaluation.
- Drainage structures (curb and gutter or shoulders and ditches), - Signs and markings, - Traffic signals, - Base improvements, - Guardrail, - Provision of adequate lateral clearance, - Safety Improvements - ADA Accessibility - Access Management - Any other items that are needed to complete a properly designed highway
project Preliminary and Construction Engineering Guidelines
Construction engineering costs up to 15% (of the construction cost) and preliminary engineering cost up to 10% (of the construction cost) will be allowed as part of the application for TIP projects, and are therefore eligible for federal funds. If preliminary and/or construction engineering is applied for, construction must be scheduled within the next three (3) years of the TIP. Applicants using federal funds for engineering services should be aware that potential Conflict of Interest issues could arise when obtaining engineering services. Please refer to MDOT for detailed guidelines on Conflict of Interest concerning engineering services. The request for either of these funds must be identified in the application, and can’t have already taken place. The agency will not be reimbursed for work that has already taken place prior to the approval of the current TIP. All work must follow the MDOT Engineering Procurement Procedures. Project Construction Guidelines The project construction costs are pro-rata (not capped) at the funding levels as identified in the approved TIP for any projects using local federal funds (STU, Flex, STL, NH and EDC-State).
Administrative Modification
An administrative modification to the TIP will be defined as:
1. Change in the project year 2. Change in funding type 3. Change in the terminus less than ¼ mile (1,320 feet) 3. Cost of the project increases or decreases less than 25%
An administrative modification does not require formal approval by TAC or GCMA.
56
Amendment Policy
An amendment to the TIP will be defined as:
1. Project added or deleted 2. Change in the scope 3. Change in the terminus more than ¼ mile (1,320 feet) 4. Cost of the project increases or decreases by 25% or more
An amendment to the TIP will be brought to the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and the Metropolitan Alliance. An amendment will require action by both TAC and GCMA following the requirements established in the Public Participation Plan (PPP). The MPO must approve the TIP and TIP amendments as being in compliance with the State Implementation Plan (SIP) and the Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) as stated in 40 CFR part 51 of the Transportation Conformity Air Quality Rule. Reprogramming Policy The following policy shall apply to reprogramming existing funds within the current TIP.
A. If the project has not held a grade inspection by March 1st of the assigned fiscal year, the funds will be recaptured and distributed to any project in the current TIP that has the ability to obligate the funds in the current fiscal year.
B. If the project has not been obligated by MDOT by May 15th of the assigned
fiscal year, the funds will be recaptured and distributed to any project in the current TIP that has the ability to obligate the funds in the current fiscal year.
C. If the federal funds being obligated are below the original estimate, the
additional funds will be recaptured and distributed to any project in the current TIP that has the ability to obligate the funds in the current fiscal year.
D. In the event additional funds become available, projects in the succeeding
year will be eligible based on available funding and their ability to meet deadlines for obligation.
E. Withdrawn or rescheduled TIP projects will be eligible for reinstatement after 2
years.
F. All reprogramming recommendations shall be completed under the established process for amending the TIP.
57
Expand Projects U.C. ACT 231 OF 1987
As part of the ongoing transportation planning process in Genesee County, GCMPC staff developed a Congestion Management Process (CMP) in conjunction with MDOT, local jurisdictions and road agencies along with Mass Transportation Authority. The CMP identifies congested road segments and intersections in Genesee County. Road agencies seeking funding for road expansion must consult the CMP, which is integrated into the 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan, as all expand projects must be part of the CMP to be eligible for funding. In order to submit an expand application, a project for through capacity must qualify for urban congestion funding and meet the following criteria:
a) If the segment of the roadway is two-lane, it must have an average daily traffic (ADT) count of at least 10,000 vehicles, or an ADT of 25,000 vehicles for a four lane segment of roadway as of July 1, 1993.
b) The segment of roadway must have the functional classification above
local road and/or rural minor collector.
c) The road must be Federal Aid Eligible
d) Improvements must be of a lasting nature (not maintenance improvements)
e) Local road agencies that are seeking to make capacity improvements
must provide documentation that Strategies #1 through #4 from the CMP toolbox have been used, and they must identify those results. If the LRA has exhausted all appropriate strategies for their corridor, then adding capacity may be considered as a final step.
All reconstruction and expansion projects require non-motorized improvements where feasible.
58
Congestion Management Process (CMP) – IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Genesee County Congestion Management Process
System Identification Through a CMP literature review during the last LRTP update, it was found that most other MPOs use the federal-aid road network to define the CMP network. The CMP network was expanded from the select group of corridors used in the previous CMP to include the entire federal-aid road network. This network was used to evaluate congestion on a system-wide basis for the base year and horizon year of the Long Range Transportation Plan. In the future, staff may identify specific corridors within the network for further analysis.
Process Products
Develop Performance Measures
GCMA uses “Level of Service” (LOS) as a performance measure for congestion in the CMP. The LOS is derived from volume to capacity ratios as illustrated in the fol lowing table. A grade of “A” through “F” is assigned to all roadways in the CMP network. Roadways assigned a LOS “A” demonstrate free-flow traffic while LOS “F”, being the worst rating, signifies a system failure where the roadway is completely shut down with congestion. The LOS on any given roadway in the CMP network was calculated through the use of the Genesee County Urban Travel Demand Model. Staff will continue the use of this performance measure to evaluate congestion on Genesee County roadways in future analysis.

Monitor and Evaluate Performance An inventory identifying the current performance of the roadway was built to begin to properly monitor the roadway performance within the CMP network. The LOS on any given roadway in the CMP network is calculated through the use of the Genesee County Urban Travel Demand Model. LOS grades of “A”, “B”, and “C” are considered congestion-free. An LOS grade of “D” is considered to be approaching congestion along a roadway. A roadway receiving an LOS grade of “E” or “F” is considered congested. Most of the efforts of the GCMA CMP are aimed at relieving congested segments (LOS “E” or “F”), while some proactive efforts will be investigated to mitigate future congestion along those roadways approaching congestion (LOS “D”).
A Speed Study Performance Program was implemented in 2008 and concentrated on select roadways and corridors that are slated for improvement projects in the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) to help evaluate roadway performance. To build an adequate inventory of data, staff included a survey of select high-volume, congested corridors in Genesee County. To monitor the future performance on a system-wide basis, LOS grades will be re-determined during every Long Range Transportation Plan update. As a system-wide benchmark for the CMP, the GCMA will manage the network to operate at a LOS “D” or better.
Strategy Identification The GCMA CMP includes 5 different strategy categories that could be used to manage congestion in Genesee County. The structure of the CMP “toolbox” has the strategies assembled for use in a top-down approach. This approach ensures that solutions that reduce or shift auto trips or improve roadway operations are evaluated before adding roadway capacity. Congestion Management solutions will include the implementation of Transportation System Management (TSM), Travel Demand Management (TDM), and Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) improvements. Staff used the toolbox to determine if the strategies presented in the proposed projects were indeed suitable to help manage congestion in Genesee County.
61
The FAST Act allows for the flexibility of funds to be shifted between highway and transit projects. If the MPO decides that it is in its best interest to shift dollars to either transit or highway interests, applications to transfer funds must be submitted to FTA for their approval prior to obligating these funds. The FTA must determine that all Americans with Disability Act (ADA) requirements are met by the local transit authority before transit funds can be flexed.
Citizen input shall be obtained during the call for project period and through a public hearing process that shall be held prior to the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) finalizing the TIP. Initiation of projects shall be the responsibility of the appropriate implementing agency having jurisdiction of the facility. All projects to be funded with Federal Transportation funds must be in conformance with Section 8 of the Federal Transit Act and Section 134 and Section 135 of Title 23 United States Code. Implementation of projects from the TIP will be on a first-come, first-served basis within each funding source until the funds are exhausted. Projects to be included in the TIP shall be consistent with the Federal, State, and Local allocations or fund balance. Funds and funding sources must be reasonably available. Although projects may be moved between years within the TIP, the funding must remain in the year it was programmed. The MPO must approve the TIP and TIP amendments as being in compliance with the State Implementation Plan (SIP) and the CAAA less than 40 CFR parts 51 of the Transportation Conformity Air Quality Rule. Local projects that are withdrawn or rescheduled from the TIP by the local jurisdiction must receive MPO approval to avoid a two-year reinstatement restriction. In the event that project costs exceed those stated in the TIP, the following procedures will be taken by the MPO:
1. Money shall be taken from another uncommitted project of the local unit irrespective of fiscal year. There is also the option to do an Advance Construct project using future funds awarded to that local unit. The project losing funding may need to be revised to accommodate new funding levels. If the project can’t be revised due to the updated funding levels, the project will need to be withdrawn and reinstated after two years.
2. If the local jurisdiction has no other project in that year from which to draw funds, money can be taken from the project with the lowest TIP score (which is not committed to contract). The project losing funding will be moved to the succeeding year's TIP. 3. If cost overruns occur on the final eligible project, the project will be moved to the succeeding TIP year. If funding remains, the succeeding year’s projects will then be available based on remaining funding. In the event additional funds become available, the current year's projects will have priority.
62
Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Program Local Funding Priorities
The Federal CMAQ Program was created to provide a link between TEA-21, now FAST, and the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA). The primary purpose of the CMAQ program is to fund projects and programs in non-attainment areas that reduce transportation related emissions and contribute to attainment of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Individual projects must show emission reductions in order to be eligible for CMAQ Program funds. CMAQ Program funds may not be used as replacement funding for transportation activities that would normally be undertaken. The Genesee County Metropolitan Alliance (GCMA) is given the authority by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) to allocate the local portion of Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) program approximately $1.6 million dollars in funding for projects that reduce congestion and provide benefits to air quality. The following scoring system is recommended for awarding CMAQ funds to local projects in Genesee County. Fiscal Year (FY) 2017-2020 CMAQ Funding Priorities
• Projects must be from eligible local road agencies, transit agencies, and planning agencies for FY 2017-2020 CMAQ Program
• Projects must meet all existing criteria for eligibility determination • Small variations on the targets (+/- 5%) may be needed to balance out the total
CMAQ funds for the entire non-attainment area • Lapeer County and MDOT funds are chosen separately from this process. This
process applies to Genesee County local projects only • Projects will be scored against one another in each specific funding category as
follows:
Category 1--Intersection Improvements • Corridor improvements can be funded at up to 100% federal funds; 0% local
match. Single intersection projects will be funded at 80% federal funds, 20% local match.
• Roundabouts are funded at 100% federal funds; 0% local match. • Intersection improvements can account for up to 40% of the total project funding
available for local Genesee County CMAQ projects when combined with all four years of funding or as one individual year’s worth of projects
• Estimated funding for FY 2017 is $641,556 or $2,566,224 for FY 2017-2020 • If the corridor involves signal timing of MDOT intersections, it is recommended to
request a partnership project with MDOT participation from the MDOT available CMAQ funds

Section 9: Performance Measures
FAST Act Performance Measures
A key feature of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act is the establishment of a performance and outcome based program, originally introduced through the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) Act. The objective of a performance-based program is for states and MPOs to invest resources in projects that collectively will make progress toward the achievement of national goals. 23 CFR 490 outlines the seven areas in which performance goals are required, these include: Safety, Infrastructure Condition, Congestion Reduction, System Reliability, Freight Movement, Environmental Sustainability, and Reduced Project Delivery Delay. Within one year of the U.S. Department of Transportation final rules on performance measures, States are required to set performance targets in support of these measures. Within 180 days of the state setting targets, MPOs are then required to choose to support the statewide targets, or optionally set their own targets. To ensure consistency, each MPO must, to the maximum extent practicable, coordinate with the relevant State and public transportation providers when setting performance targets. Any new TIP document or amendment must comply with performance reporting requirements beginning on May 27, 2018. MAP-21 also mandated the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to develop a rule establishing a strategic and systematic process of operating, maintaining, and improving public capital assets effectively through their entire life cycle. Targets are required to establish for rolling stock, equipment, facilities, and infrastructure, which are detailed in this section under Transit Performance. Current TIP Procedures for Selecting/Programming Projects and Addressing Performance Measures Although specific federal guidance on performance measures had not been established at the time the 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and the FY 2017-2020 Transportation Improvement Program were developed, the Genesee County Metropolitan Alliance (GCMA) made efforts to collect data and begin tracking performance year-to-year (see Transportation Performance Tracking below). Through these documents, funding goals have been established that generally target the performance measure areas specified. Like other MPOs statewide, GCMA has and continues to face limitations in funding resources at the local, state, and federal levels and has established goals and objectives in the LRTP, particularly in the Financial Plan document to guide project selection.
During the TIP Call for Projects, road agencies are requested to submit a TIP application to be considered for funding. TIP applications are scored and prioritized on how well they address and incorporate pavement conditions, multi-modal complete streets design elements, safety, transit, and area-wide impacts. The 2020-2023 TIP applications will be revised to better emphasize performance measure targets using a more refined performance-driven project selection process, and will be documented in the TIP Assurances, Procedures and Policies section of the new TIP. GCMA will also continue to gather data for the development of performance measures such as pavement and bridge conditions, traffic volumes, level of congestion, freight data, air quality, emissions reductions, crash data, transit ridership, and transit state of good repair. GCMA will begin to analyze progress toward the performance goals in fiscal years 2018 and 2019 using the annual listing of obligated projects to illustrate spending in each category (including bridges, safety, road restoration, non-motorized facilities, transit, etc.). Obligated/completed projects will be evaluated to determine whether it contributes towards each performance goal. GCMA will begin to fully implement these performance goals during the 2020-2023 TIP development process. Furthermore, staff will also continue to work with other MPOs on best practices for performance-based programing of projects and analysis of performance measure data. Individual Performance Measure Tracking At this time, Safety, Transit, Pavement & Bridge Condition, and System Reliability / Freight performance targets have been established. Sections will be updated in this document as additional/new data becomes available. GCMA is also developing a System Performance Report which will be displayed on our website and continuously updated with data on these performance measures. Safety Performance With a recovering economy and increasing travel volumes, both the State of Michigan and Genesee County are experiencing similar increases in traffic fatalities. In evaluating the trends in recent crashes, travel volumes, and economic data, GCMA opted to support the statewide targets, in which serious injuries decline, but fatalities and nonmotorized fatalities and non-motorized serious injuries increase. An increase in overall traffic volumes and a growing economy both have a strong correlation with increased traffic crashes. Below are the statewide trends in crashes during the past 5-year period:
Michigan Crash Trends, 2013-2017
2013 2014 2015 2016 2017
Fatalities 947 901 963 1,064 1,028

To contribute towards reaching statewide targets, GCMA will continue ongoing coordination with the State and other safety stakeholders to address areas of concern, and will plan and program projects that contribute toward meeting the State safety targets. The Metropolitan Alliance will continue to prioritize safety projects submitted by road agencies for the local safety program. GCMA provides support for projects through a list of projects sorted by time-of-return provided to MDOT during the annual call for local safety projects. Current projects programmed that should contribute to safety performance include intersection safety improvements, signalized corridor improvements, roundabouts, non-motorized improvements,
and road diets. A listing of projects is maintained on the TIP section of the GCMPC website, which includes safety projects and is updated continuously as projects are added.
GCMA will also continue to work towards the local safety policies and strategies identified in the GLS Region V Traffic Safety Plan. We will continue to focus on the priority emphasis areas identified in the safety plan, such as intersection, lane departure, and pedestrian and bicycle safety. GCMA will continue to work with local, county, and state transportation agencies to develop projects that address priority emphasis areas in the regional safety plan. We will also continue to provide technical assistance to members, perform annual crash data analysis, and track our region’s data for the safety performance measures.
Transit Performance
MAP-21 mandated the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to develop a rule establishing a strategic and systematic process of operating, maintaining, and improving public capital assets effectively through their entire life cycle. The Transit Asset Management (TAM) Final Rule 49 CFR part 625 became effective Oct. 1, 2016 and established four performance measures. The performance management requirements outlined in 49 CFR 625 Subpart D are a minimum standard for transit operators. Providers with more data and sophisticated analysis expertise are allowed to add performance measures and utilize those advanced techniques in addition to the required national performance measures, which include the following:
1. Rolling Stock - means a revenue vehicle used in providing public transportation, including vehicles used for carrying passengers on fare-free services
2. Equipment - means an article of non-expendable, tangible property has a useful life of at least one year
3. Facilities - means a building or structure that is used in providing public transportation 4. Infrastructure - means the underlying framework or structures that support a public
transportation system
To contribute towards reaching the transit performance targets, GCMA will continue ongoing coordination with the State, Flint Mass Transportation Authority (MTA), and other transit stakeholders to address areas of concern; and will plan and program projects that contribute toward meeting the transit performance targets. The Metropolitan Alliance will continue to work with the MTA to prioritize transit. Current projects programmed that should contribute to transit performance including numerous transit vehicle replacements and facility upgrades. A listing of projects is maintained on the TIP section of the GCMPC website, which includes transit projects and is updated continuously as projects are added.
To date, GCMA has worked with the Flint Mass Transportation Authority (MTA) to report State of Good Repair Targets to the Federal Transit Administration. GCMA has approved and adopted the following targets set by the Flint MTA: Flint MTA State of Good Repair Targets, Adopted by GCMA
Pavement and Bridge Condition Performance
The purpose of this final rule is to establish measures for State departments of transportation (State DOT) to use to carry out the National Highway Performance Program (NHPP) and to assess the condition of the following: Pavements on the National Highway System (NHS) (excluding the Interstate System), bridges carrying the NHS which includes on- and off-ramps connected to the NHS, and pavements on the Interstate System. The NHPP is a core Federal-aid highway program that provides support for the condition and performance of the NHS and the construction of new facilities on the NHS. The NHPP also ensures that investments of Federal-aid funds in highway construction are directed to support progress toward the achievement of performance targets established in a State's asset management plan for the NHS. This final rule establishes regulations for the new performance aspects of the NHPP that address measures, targets, and reporting. The Genesee County Metropolitan Alliance (GCMA) will continue to prioritize pavement and bridge projects submitted by local road agencies for the Genesee County Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). GCMA staff continues to make a concerted effort to educate local

System Reliability, Freight, CMAQ Performance
The measures in this third final rule will be used by State DOTs and MPOs to assess the performance of the Interstate and non-Interstate National Highway System (NHS) for the purpose of carrying out the National Highway Performance Program (NHPP); to assess freight movement on the Interstate System; and to assess traffic congestion and on-road mobile source emissions for the purpose of carrying out the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) Program.
The Genesee County Metropolitan Alliance (GCMA) will continue to prioritize projects, such as signal synchronization along corridors with high traffic volumes, that improve system reliability and freight performance targets. GCMA staff continues to make a concerted effort to educate
local road agencies on the latest statistics and data for the communities they represent. GCMA staff will continue to work with local, county, and state road transportation agencies to develop criteria for project prioritization working toward the system reliability and freight performance measures’ goals and targets.

2040 LRTP Transportation Performance Tracking
Prior to the establishment of FAST Act performance targets, GCMA created a list of performance measures identified throughout the 2040 LRTP. This includes a listing of baseline/trend data, which will serve as a starting point for staff to track the performance of Genesee County’s transportation system from year to year. This list will be updated with new data during the next update to the LRTP.
The following table displays the performance measure, the years compared between, what technical report is associated with the performance measure, and what type of trend is observed. The direction of the arrow signifies if the number or percentage is rising or falling. The color represents if the trend is positive, negative, or neutral. For example, county-wide crash totals reduced by approximately 500 between 2008 and 2012. This trend would be represented by a downward, green arrow indicating a positive trend. However, if the arrow is yellow, the trend can be either positive or negative.
