May 2017 Item No. 7

ISSUE: CIRTPA Fiscal Year 2018 Unified Planning Work Program

REPORT AND VOTE: Consider approval of the Fiscal Year 2018 Unified Planning Work Program.

BACKGROUND:

The CIRTPA staff developed the draft Fiscal Year 2018 Unified Planning Work Program (FY 2018 UPWP), which documents all transportation planning activities the CIRTPA will perform using federal funds from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018. The Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) requires that the UPWP describe the CIRTPA’s proposed planning activities – including task objectives, previous work, project descriptions, and work products – as well as the budget and funding sources to carry out the planning activities. The Iowa DOT requires the CIRTPA to submit a final UPWP by June 1, 2017.

CIRTPA approved the draft UPWP at their March 9, 2017 meeting, and staff forwarded the draft UPWP to the Iowa DOT and the FHWA. The DOT provided staff with comments. Staff addressed the comments and updated the UPWP document accordingly.

A copy of the Fiscal Year 2018 Unified Planning Work Program will be made available before the May meeting.

RECOMMENDATION:

Approve the Fiscal Year 2018 Unified Planning Work Program and forward on the Iowa DOT for final approval.

ISSUE: Draft FFY 2018-2021 Transportation Improvement Program

REPORT AND VOTE: Consider approval of the Federal Fiscal Year 2018-2021 Transportation Improvement Program.

BACKGROUND:

The CIRTPA staff is annually required to develop a four-year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) by updating the current TIP for the CIRTPA. The purpose of the TIP is to list all projects in the CIRTPA Planning Area for which are using Federal funding and scheduled to begin within a designated period of the four federal fiscal years.

The CIRTPA staff requested that CIRTPA member governments and participating agencies review and report any project changes, new projects, or “roll-over” projects programmed in Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and/or 2021. Staff generated a project list for the FFY 2018-2021 TIP using responses from each member government.

Staff will submit the FFY 2018-2021 TIP draft to the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) and Federal Highway Administration for review and comment on June 15, 2017. Staff will incorporate comments received into the final draft. The final FFY 2017-2020 TIP is due to the Iowa DOT by July 21, 2017.

The CIRTPA staff will schedule a public input meeting for the FFY 2018-2021 TIP draft at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday June 20, 2017 at the CIRTPA office, in order to provide an opportunity for the public to comment.

ISSUE: Draft Bridge Condition Report

REPORT: Discussion regarding the draft report on bridge conditions in the MPO planning area.

BACKGROUND:

MPO staff has developed a report outlining the condition of bridges in the MPO planning area. The report is a follow up to regional performance measures set forth in Mobilizing Tomorrow. Staff used 2016 data from the Iowa DOT to identify locations of deficient bridges in the region, as well as the amount of deck area considered to be in both good and poor condition. The report also outlines bridge quality for each member government. The report ends with an Environmental Justice (EJ) review comparing bridge conditions in EJ areas versus non-EJ areas.

The draft Bridge Condition Report is available on the CIRTPA website (click to access).

ISSUE: dTIMS Pavement Condition Forecasting and Licensing

REPORT: Discussion regarding the development of pavement condition forecasting reports.

BACKGROUND:

MPO staff has developed an example report using the dTIMS software that prioritizes road improvement projects for the next ten years. Staff utilized road condition and road maintenance data from the Iowa DOT to build the report. The report reviews each road segment within the City of Perry and determines the schedule of projects that provides the greatest benefit-to-cost ratio.

The report highlights the ability of the dTIMS program to forecast and plan for roadway capital improvements projects. For a member community to be able to use the software they need to purchase a license of $1,000. CIRTPA can purchase each community a license for 80% of the cost, with each community being responsible for the other 20%, or about $200.

The pavement forecasting and projects selection report will be made available to committees before the May meeting
