TO: HRPDC/HRTPO Board Members FROM: Robert Crum, Executive Director RE: Executive Director’s Report A brief summary of ongoing work activities is presented below for review by HRPDC/HRTPO Board members. The HRPDC staff is advancing the following local technical assistance projects on behalf of its member jurisdictions:

• Town of Windsor Comprehensive Plan • Town of Smithfield Comprehensive Plan • Surry County Subdivision Ordinance

On May 12, 2016, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) conducted a public meeting in the Regional Building Board Room to receive public input on the proposed Six-Year Improvement Program (SYIP). The Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) is scheduled to take action to approve the SYIP at its June meeting, which will include projects recommended for funding through the HB2 process. A total of 21 projects in the Hampton Roads Region totaling approximately $330 million have been recommended for HB2 funding. These projects include $144.9 million of HB2 funding for Segment 3 of the I-64 widening project. Several HRTPO Board members attended and presented testimony in support of the Region’s transportation projects, including HRTPO Chair Mayor Linda Johnson, York County Supervisor Thomas Shepperd, and James City County Supervisor Michael Hipple. The public meeting was attended by over 140 residents and community stakeholders.

Attachment 4

The HRPDC staff has continued to work with representatives of the Cities of Norfolk and Virginia Beach and representatives of the naval bases in these jurisdictions to develop a scope of work for a Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) that will focus on sea level rise. In addition, a second JLUS is proposed to address the same issues for the Cities of Portsmouth and Chesapeake. The HRPDC staff has agreed to serve as Project Manager/Coordinator for both of these JLUS studies. The HRPDC staff serves as the Administrator of HOME funds in the City of Portsmouth in administering down payment and closing cost assistance. This city-wide program is designed to expand homeownership opportunities to low and moderate income households. Staff recently signed a contract extending the program through FY 2017. The program works in partnership with HUD-Approved Housing Counseling partners that provide homeownership education and pre-purchase counseling to buyers in an effort to ensure that the buyer is successful in homeownership. To date, 15 families have been approved for the program. The Regional Roundtable held its regularly scheduled monthly meeting on May 13th. This Roundtable consists of representatives from regional organizations and was convened by the HRPDC to promote the exchange of information among these regional entities. The HRTPO/HRPDC Executive Director collaborated with HRTAC Executive Director Kevin Page to provide a briefing to Suffolk City Council on May 18th. This briefing focused on the status of regional transportation planning and our Region’s progress in allocating monies to advance our regional transportation priority projects. The Executive Director served as a guest speaker at an event hosted by the Tidewater Security Project on May 18th, providing information on the HRPDC’s regional coastal resiliency planning efforts. The HRTPO staff continues to participate in VDOT Cooperating Agency meetings to discuss the Hampton Roads Crossing Study (HRCS) Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS). On May 23rd, the Executive Director provided a presentation to the Hampton Roads Business Roundtable on collaboration opportunities between the two regions. Areas identified as possible areas for collaboration included the following:

• I-64 Improvements • Passenger Rail Service • Port of Virginia/Port of Richmond • Virginia Capital Trail • Legislative Efforts • Water Supply • Broadband • Chesapeake Bay Requirements • GO Virginia • I-64 Innovation Corridor

Attachment 4

The Executive Director attended a May 26th meeting at Reinvent Hampton Roads to discuss collaboration opportunities between Reinvent and the HRPDC. Staff attended and participated in the Transit Means Business Forum held on May 27th at the Sandler Center in Virginia Beach. The Executive Director provided introductory comments for a panel discussion with Delegate Ron Villanueva, (21st District) Chair of the House Transportation Committee, Delegate Glenn Davis (84th District), Delegate Monty Mason (93rd District) and Secretary of Transportation Aubrey Layne. The HRTPO and HRTAC Executive Directors participated in a Transportation Policy Meeting convened by Secretary of Transportation Aubrey Layne in Richmond on May 31st. The regular monthly meeting of the Chief Administrative Officers (CAOs) was hosted in Williamsburg on June 1st. Agenda items included a presentation by Virginia Beach staff on the City’s broadband initiative and the opportunity to expand this initiative regionally, a discussion of regional public safety coordination, a review of agenda items for the June 16th HRPDC meeting, and a review of regional interest items. HRTPO staff continues to work with the CAOs from the City of Franklin and Southampton County to identify options for including these jurisdictions as full voting members of the HRTPO Board. A report on this issue is scheduled for the July HRTPO meeting. The Executive Director provided the Isle of Wight State of the County presentation on June 7th. The HRTPO/HRPDC staff continues to assist HRTAC with financial management, website support, and human resources services. HRTPO staff will host a second meeting with locality staffs on June 14th to discuss opportunities for extending the Virginia Capital Trail into the Hampton Roads Region.

ITEM #12: 2040 LONG-RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN: FINAL FISCALLY-CONSTRAINED PROJECTS: Dale Stith, HRTPO

SUMMARY:

For the past four and a half years, HRTPO staff, in partnership with regional stakeholders, has been updating the Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) to the horizon year of 2040, with the goal of identifying multimodal projects and studies aimed at improving the economic vitality and quality of life for residents, businesses, and industries across Hampton Roads. Dale Stith, Principal Transportation Planner, will brief the HRTPO Board on this item. BACKGROUND:

Over the next 24 years, the Hampton Roads region is forecasted to receive approximately $12 billion in transportation revenues dedicated to maintaining the existing transportation system and another $12 billion for new construction. The draft list of projects for the 2040 LRTP, approved by the HRTPO Board at its March 17, 2016 meeting, identifies $12 billion in critical transportation investments for the region. This draft list was selected based on a thorough analysis of approximately 200 candidate projects using the HRTPO Project Prioritization Tool (evaluates projects based on their technical merits and regional benefits) as well as fiscal-constraint guidelines established to help maximize the use of forecasted revenues across various modes of transportation. Supporting the technical analysis is extensive public outreach that has been conducted throughout the development of the 2040 LRTP. During April and May, the draft list of projects was made available for review by the public, stakeholders, and HRTPO Advisory Committees. During this review period, the City of Virginia Beach submitted a request (Attachment 12) to add Phase 3 of the I-64/I-264 Interchange Regional Priority Project as a study to the 2040 List of Projects and proposed transferring $10 million from the Southeastern Parkway and Greenbelt Study (2040-86) to cover the cost of the new study. Since this request did not impact any total projects costs and planning funds were transferred from one Virginia Beach project to another, the list was updated to include this project as a study. The TTAC then recommended HRTPO Board approval of the final list of projects for the 2040 LRTP. Attachment 12 Enclosure 12: Hampton Roads 2040 Long-Range Transportation Plan: Projects and Impacts RECOMMENDED ACTION (Action to be taken under Meeting Agenda Item #17-H):

Approve the projects for 2040 Long-Range Transportation Plan.

ITEM #13: HAMPTON ROADS CROSSING – SEIS UPDATE: Scott Smizik, VDOT SUMMARY:

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), in coordination with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), has initiated the preparation of a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for the Hampton Roads Crossing Study (HRCS). The SEIS will re-evaluate the findings of the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) and the Record of Decision (ROD) that were approved by the FHWA in 2001. Mr. Scott Smizik, Project Manager, Environmental Division, VDOT, will provide a status report on this item. BACKGROUND:

The Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) from the original HRCS-FEIS was Candidate Build Alternative (CBA) 9. This option is one of three alternatives retained in the Final EIS being re-examined along with any other alternatives identified in the SEIS scoping which commenced in July 2015. CBA-9 was approved by the Commonwealth Transportation Board (March 2001) and the HRTPO (July 1997 and June 2013). The four alternatives selected for the SEIS are attached. The purpose of the original HRCS was to relieve congestion at the I-64 HRBT in a manner that improves accessibility, transit, emergency evacuation, and military and goods movement along the primary transportation corridors in the Hampton Roads region, including the I-64, I-664, I-564, and Route 164 corridors. The HRCS-SEIS will address the following needs:

• Accommodate travel demand – capacity is inadequate on the study area alignments, contributing to congestion at the HRBT.

• Improve transit access – the lack of transit access across the Hampton Roads waterway. • Increase regional accessibility – limited number of water crossings and inadequate

highway capacity and severe congestion decrease accessibility. • Address geometric deficiencies – insufficient vertical and horizontal clearance at the HRBT

contribute to congestion. • Enhance emergency evacuation capability – increase capacity for emergency evacuation,

particularly at the HRBT. • Improve strategic military connectivity – congestion impedes military movement

missions. • Increase access to port facilities – inadequate access to interstate highway travel in the

study area impacts regional commerce. VDOT is currently completing the traffic analysis and other technical reports. A draft SEIS report is anticipated to be published for the public in late July/early August 2016. Attachment 13

Transcribed Public Comments from the May 19, 2016 HRTPO Board Meeting

Four people requested to address the HRTPO Board at the May 19, 2016 Meeting. Chair Johnson asked them to limit their comments to three minutes.

Ms. Dianna Howard VBTP, VBTA, TLP Hello. I would like to speak on the 2040 Long-Range Plan, and I was on the CTAC Committee and I was one of the two people that voted against it, and to correct you, it was not because it was too little transit spending. I believe that the TPO inadequately represented all modes of transportation. My concern was with the two pages of studies that were in that. One of the concerns was once we're done with the studies do we have a reasonable expectation to be able to fund the project that we're doing the study on? Because if we don't we have to repeat that study, we're just wasting taxpayers money. The other objection was the - I think it was nine or ten light rail studies in there for Suffolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Norfolk, Hampton, Newport News, and four I believe for Virginia Beach. Since I know my city council has not voted to extend light rail yet, they did vote to do the study on it, I was wondering if the rest of the cities had voted or not voted on light rail and why those studies were in there. One of the studies in there is a repeat of a study that we've already done. Virginia Beach already did the study from Newtown Road to the Oceanfront yet there's $20 million in this budget to do that study over again and I felt that was a waste of taxpayer money. So that was my concern. So the question was how many City Councils voted on studying light rail or extending it and why if they hadn't are they in the 2040 Long-Range Plan? One of the answers was well; anybody can request a transportation project or a study. So these are maybe coming from outside groups, maybe from HRT or the Department of Rail and Transit or an individual person. If that's the case, I know Bob has come up here many times and spoken about doing a project for coastal flooding, I forget what it's called because he's not here, but he's been here like several years in a row now asking for that study to be done to prevent coastal flooding and it would go from about Willoughby Spit all the way up to Fort Monroe, and it would have some locks and channels. It had something to do with what they do in Holland to try and keep if their hurricane had rising waters you could shut these locks and prevent the water rising up. So anyway, my time is up. Ms. Donna Sayegh Portsmouth Citizen I think it's what, good morning or afternoon. My name is Donna Sayegh and I live in Portsmouth. On your workshop agenda, you have a Commonwealth Transportation Board update. So you have a lot of updates from different departments, and I'm going to harp on this until I get some answers. I want to know how we're communicating with each other on this board with the city. I'm a citizen. I pay taxes. And I'm speaking for many citizens that pay taxes who are working and since I'm retired I can be here, but you have all these speaking things, I've got this HRTPO Board, and I want to know how everybody communicates with each other and I want to know wants coming to our city council so we the people know ahead of time. Y'all are making decisions without us knowing about it. So that's one of the things. Then you have some agenda items the TTAC Committee gave y'all information as agenda 18J, talking about the Pocahontas Trail Multimodal Corridor Project, and this project was not explained to an everyday person like me who and where is this going? And then it says the cost went from $6.1 million to $18.3 million. I do know an increase. I might not know what's it going to, but I know that when you say increased money, it's increased. And who is monitoring the taxpayers’ money and the money from 1994? This is 20 years. We need to take a look at who is on this TTAC Committee, and by the way, how many people are using this trail? I want to know specifics. All right. Item 18K, VDOT wants to amend the 2015-18 Transportation Improvement Program to revise the cost estimate and funding obligation information for the Midtown Tunnel. Now, y'all, y'all created a toll for the people in Portsmouth. Let me tell you

Attachment 16

something. You need to start talking to the people. You need to start talking to the people because those tolls have really hurt us. But y'all didn't talk about that. So okay so y'all, the debt service from $498 million to $579 million. This is taxpayers’ money, and what caused such an increase to obtain a bond for this $81 million. Item 18L. Gloucester County wants to transfer funds to complete a county project to cover costs increase, and it's talking about Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program. My time is up but I'm going to tell you, I want some communication in my city and y'all are making decisions without the citizens knowledge and that needs to change and I need to know how people are communicating with each other. Mr. Frank Papcin Virginia Beach Citizen Good afternoon, gentlemen. It's me again. Smiling. I think I'm going to start off with a little bit of humor. We talk about regional flooding; we talk about sea level rise and all of this. Now, don't misunderstand me, I know there's flooding going on and I know it's getting worse, but I had -- I stick my nose in a lot of other people's business, and some of the general information I got because of my concern about the ports and about these ships coming in and the depth of the channel of 55 feet and how big boats and how transportation is all related but one of the little gems that I got from this individual from Chesapeake was and my question to him was with sea level rise, what's happening with the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel. Was that deeper water there and much to my surprise he said to me, he said, Well, we just did a study not too long ago where it's actually two inches higher than it was, and he gave me some year when they first built it. I thought I'd pass that onto you that with sea level rise, so does the tunnel. Anyways, getting back to more serious things, I got a copy of the budget, not your budget, but the state budget and it's showing a $55.4 billion budget. I also noticed that while the Transportation Fund is an increase of 19.6 percent. The amount of money you people got decreased. One of the questions I wanted to ask was whether or not the $168 million that we got with TTAC, with TAC was in addition to the $305 million that we got from the government, from the state and they said, yeah, it's in addition. So that relieves one of my problems. Another problem I was addressing was whether or not these HOT lanes toll money was going to stay here or was going to leave and they brought that to court in Northern Virginia and they got it to stay within. You people are getting a memo. I don't know if you really want a memo or you want something solid because if they're going the run tolls here, and they're going to take money, let's not take it out of the region, let's keep it here in the region. And my other last point is I wanted to bring up is you're talking about the reversible lanes. Reversible lanes, tolls are to manage people, it's not to generate money, but it's to make people go in directions that you want them to go. Well, they're talking about HOV lanes on the reversible lanes, but when they designed the HOV-3 many years ago, which I suffered through all the construction of, they designed that road to have one lane exits, and they're going to need more than a one lane exit if they turn around and increase the traffic that's there because right now, there's backups on that road at times when 564 backs up, you got backups all the way up into the reversible lanes. My time is up and I won't exceed it, so thank you very much for putting up with me. Mr. Ellis James Norfolk Citizen Thank you, Madam Chairwoman. My name is Ellis W. James. I reside in the City of Norfolk. I have for quite a few years. Despite the attempts to suggest that sea level rise and flooding is not an important issue, I strongly commend to any of you who have not had a chance to flip through this report, pay close attention. You've heard from me and others occasionally that sea rise is speeding up. That's addressed in this report. And it may continue to speed up. 2100 isn't going to cut it for all of these communities that are impacted, and most of the impacts are going to be on the Peninsula side, on the Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake side, Portsmouth and so on. We need to pay serious attention to this very comprehensive report. I was quite surprised – I picked it up, and I didn't flip through it at first and then I decided it was time to take a peek, and it got my attention. It is extremely comprehensive. I would invite all of the communities, as well as our military folks

Attachment 16

and all of the rest that are represented around this table, 2100 is too late. We're in the midst of the beginnings of a very, very serious problem. Let me offer one last observation. While we're trying to cross this bridge to get to the point of dealing with recurrent flooding, there are some simple things that can be done. Every community around the table, including the military and the bases, understand clearly that there are simple things that can be done. An example, in my home city of Norfolk, when the flooding occurs and heavy storms occur, and the trucks try to come down the Hampton Boulevard Bridge, only to run head long into a couple of feet of water on the road beds, citizens are put at risk in that situation. Is there a solution? Yes, there is. We use mobile notice devices on our roadways telling us when the construction is going to start in the middle of June. We need to be able to address those critical sensitive areas by doing the simple thing, follow the weather reports the way Ellis James does.

Mr. Crum then introduced Ms. Amy Thurston, Community Outreach Planner for the HRTPO who recently moved from the Richmond area to accept the staff position.

He noted that on April 15, 2016, HRTPO staff received correspondence from the Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) regarding the HRTPO’s request for funding through the Intercity Passenger Rail Operating and Capital (IPROC) program for the completion of a Tier II Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for high speed rail between Hampton Roads and Richmond. Through this correspondence, DRPT specified that it is not funding this request based on current federal and state funding and staff resources. DRPT is presently working with the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to complete the Washington D.C. to Richmond, VA (DC2RVA) Tier II EIS by the end of 2017. DRPT has indicated that once the DC2RVA study is complete, DRPT will work with the HRTPO to seek federal funds for a Tier II EIS study. Mr. Crum stated that unfortunately, Ms. Jennifer Mitchell, DRPT Director, was unable to attend today’s meeting; however, she will be available at future meetings or by phone to answer any questions from Board members. He noted that the HRTPO will continue to pursue funding for the Tier II Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for high speed rail between Hampton Roads and Richmond.

Workshop Agenda Commonwealth Transportation Board Member (CTB) Comments and Updates Mr. John Malbon, CTB member, reported that the CTB reviewed the HB2 process and presented recommendations to improve the process for the second cycle. He stated the draft Six-Year Improvement Plan (SYIP) will be approved next month and indicated funding for the Hampton Roads Region improved significantly under the HB2 process versus how the Commonwealth previously prioritized projects for the SYIP. Virginia Department of Transportation Mr. James Utterback reported that in April, VDOT advertised Segment 1 of the I-64/I-264 Interchange for construction and stated that the project may potentially go to the CTB for award in August or September. (Senator Frank Wagner and Deputy Sec. Grindly Johnson arrive) Segment 2 of the I-64 Peninsula Widening project was awarded as a design-build construction project with the contractor beginning with shoulder improvements in order to shift traffic in August. He noted that by December, there will be 13 miles of interstate under construction on the Peninsula. Finally, he commented that the U.S. Coast Guard transmitted a letter to VDOT providing a preliminary bridge height of 100 feet and a channel width of 125 feet for the High-Rise Bridge portion of the I-64 Southside Widening project.

Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation The representative for the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation was not in attendance. Virginia Port Authority Update Ms. Cathie Vick of the Virginia Port Authority (VPA) reported that the Port is engaged in the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process for the Terminal Boulevard project, including its participation in the public comment process. The Port is ensuring that impacts to motor carriers coming in and out of the facility at Terminal Boulevard are as minimal as possible. She stated Governor McAuliffe will be in Hampton Roads in early June to announce the approval of $350 million by the General Assembly for the modernization of Norfolk International Terminals (NIT). She commented that the North Gate at NIT will feed directly onto the new I-564 Intermodal Connector. Ms. Vick noted the Port has submitted its FASTLANE Application for its Route 164 project. HRT and WATA Updates Mr. William Harrell of Hampton Roads Transit (HRT) reported that HRT will be holding a Transit Forum on May 27, 2016 from 8:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. at the Sandler Center in Virginia Beach and encouraged all HRTPO Board members to attend. He indicated there will be economic sector reports from the shipbuilding industry, healthcare, and higher education institutions regarding the economic value that transit brings to the region. He noted that the Mayor Pro Tem of Charlotte, NC will be in attendance to speak on that city’s robust public transportation system. Mr. Todd Tyree of the Williamsburg Area Transit Authority (WATA) reported that WATA will be changing a number of its routes and will be informing its citizens over the next month and a half via several public meetings. Citizen Transportation Advisory Committee (CTAC) Update Mr. Greg Edwards, CTAC Chair, reported that CTAC members met with representatives of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) on March 29, 2016 as part of the HRTPO 2016 Federal Quadrennial Certification Review. He stated that on April 14, 2016, CTAC endorsed a resolution supporting the draft list of fiscally-constrained projects for the 2040 Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). He noted that the vote was not unanimous as the absence of transit projects in the LRTP convinced some members to vote against the resolution.

Military Liaisons Comments and Updates Captain Rich McDaniel of the U.S. Navy reported that Captain Robert Geis could not be in attendance as was engaged in a training exercise. He also reported that Captain Pat Rios, the Navy’s Alternate to the HRTPO Board, was retiring after 30 years of service. He indicated that Admiral Jack Scorby is now the Commander of Navy Mid-Atlantic and will be for at least the next 18 months. Lt. Col. David Norton of Langley-Eustis had no comments. I-64 HOV to HOT Conversion Study Mr. Jim Utterback, VDOT Hampton Roads District Administrator, reported that at the direction of the Office of the Secretary of Transportation, VDOT has conducted a feasibility study regarding the potential conversion of HOV to HOT lanes along two sections of I-64 on the Southside. He stated the study evaluated I-64 HOV lanes on the Southside from I-564 to Battlefield Boulevard in two segments:

• I-564 to I-264 – 8.4 miles of two-lane reversible HOV lanes • I-264 to Battlefield Boulevard – 6.0 miles of dual direction one-lane HOV (diamond)

lanes The following four elements were used in the study to define whether the conversion from HOV to HOT lanes was feasible:

• Improved corridor throughput and reduced congestion in the general purpose lanes • Revenues generated by HOT lanes exceed cost of operations • Design layout of toll infrastructure feasible • HOT solution has flexibility to support potential future managed lane segments

Mr. Utterback stated that after assessing these four elements, it was determined that:

• Segment 1 is feasible • Segment 2 is not financially feasible (however, it may be feasible, pending further

study, if combined with managed lanes on the High-Rise Bridge) (Mayor Paul Fraim arrives) He indicated that next steps include:

• June – Finalize study report for Segments 1 and 2 • Assess integration of High-Rise Bridge managed lane segment on traffic operations

and revenue • Request regional support through the HRTPO • Develop Implementation Plan to include design, construction, and operation

Attachment 17-A


Sea Level Rise and Storm Surge Impacts to Roadways in Hampton Roads Mr. Sam Belfield, HRTPO Senior Transportation Engineer, reported that Hampton Roads is the second most vulnerable region to Seal Level Rise in the United States behind New Orleans. He stated that sea level rise, coupled with storm surge, will continue to increase the risk of major coastal impacts on transportation infrastructure, including both temporary and permanent flooding of roadways, bridges/tunnels, and other facilities. Repetitive flooding at critical transportation facilities can severely impact travel and hurt regional and local economies. He noted that HRTPO staff has partnered with HRPDC staff to conduct a GIS-based flooding vulnerability analysis for potential sea level rise and storm surge impacts to regional roadways by 2045, the next Long-Range Transportation Plan horizon year. Mr. Belfield indicated the report includes recommendations for the possibility of incorporating sea level rise and storm surge impacts to roadways into the HRTPO Long-Range Transportation Plan Project Prioritization Tool. He noted the report also contains adaptation strategies, design considerations, best practices, and lessons learned from other coastal regions that are also vulnerable to sea level rise and storm surge. He stated that all public and stakeholder comments have been addressed and incorporated into the final report. He indicated the report is for HRTPO Board consideration under Agenda Item #18-F. (Mr. Neil Morgan departs) FY 2017 HRTPO Budget Ms. Nancy Collins, HRTPO Chief Financial Officer, reported that the FY 2017 draft Budget reflects the current economic conditions in that it is again conservative in nature, and represents a total revenue (and corresponding expenditure) decrease of 8.6% from that of FY 2016. This decrease is due to grant reductions in UASI, MMRS, Planning & Environmental, and Transportation funding. All of the decrease is in pass-through. She indicated that member contributions will remain at the reduced $0.80 per capita rate approved in FY 2013. The proposed budget includes the following:

• A proposed 2% performance-based salary adjustment for staff. • A 7% increase in healthcare premiums for the upcoming fiscal year and a 0.9%

increase in VRS. • VRS Life Insurance decreased by 0.75% and Standard Contracts decreased by

17.6%. Special Contracts increased by 125% to account for an anticipated move to Cloud computing.

• A 3.8% decrease in General Operations helped offset the reduced revenue.

Attachment 17-A


She noted that staff recommends continuing to fund the reserves in order to continue to offset future increases in costs as funding continues to decrease. Mr. Robert Crum, HRTPO Executive Director, stated the HRTPO is in a sound and strong financial position. Regarding the budget recommendation of a staff two percent merit increase, he noted that he is monitoring the average jurisdictional increases and indicated that in July, he may ask that the increase be slightly raised to a two and a half percent level. The FY 2017 Budget (minus the staff merit increase which will be considered in July) is for HRTPO Board consideration under Agenda Item #18-D. FY 2017 Unified Planning Work Program Dr. Camelia Ravanbakht, HRTPO Deputy Executive Director, reported that HRTPO staff, in coordination with Hampton Roads Transit, Williamsburg Area Transit Authority, the Virginia Department of Transportation, and the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation, is developing the draft Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) for FY 2017. She indicated that the UPWP describes the mutual responsibilities of the aforementioned entities in carrying out the metropolitan transportation planning process for Hampton Roads. Dr. Ravanbakht stated the four core functions of the HRTPO are:

• Long-Range Transportation Plan • Transportation Improvement Program • Congestion Management Process • Public Participation

She outlined the key planning activities of the FY 2017 UPWP as follows:

• Scenario Planning • Resilience of the Transportation System • Active Transportation • Connected and Autonomous Vehicles • Complete Streets • Military Transportation Needs • Regional Transit Planning

The FY 2017 UPWP is for HRTPO Board consideration under Agenda Item #18-E.

1. CALL TO ORDER

Mr. White called the meeting to order at 10:30 a.m.

2. PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD

There was one public comment submitted by Ms. Donna Sayegh, a citizen of the City ofPortsmouth, regarding the goals and objectives of the Virginia Port of Authority’s and itsimpact to the citizens of Portsmouth:

Good Morning. My name is Donna Sayegh. I live in Portsmouth. Some time ago there was aCraney Island Commission in Portsmouth where a study was done by the United States Corp.of Engineers. Currently there are plans to create a 4 Lane highway alongside of the Islandas well as a plan to connect Norfolk with Newport News by way of Craney Island. InDecember 2011, a contract was signed by VDOT and ERC to build another Midtown tunnelwith tolls to pay for it. My concern is this: The Port is giving grants of $1 million a year tovarious cities and counties. John Reinhart of the VPA receives a Bonus of $211, 500 on topof his base salary of $450,000. HB858 is passed to create the Virginia International TradeCorporation. SB578 Extends until 2017 the International trade facility tax credit, the bargeand rail usage tax credit, and the Virginia Port volume increase tax credit, and creates thePort Opportunity fund. Establish an economic development zone and incentives concerningthe Port. This bill is identical to HB1183. In other words, the nobility of the Port has greatpower over the common people or peasants of Portsmouth.

Before moving onto the next agenda item, Mr. White updated the FTAC on the status of theEconomic Assessment of Tolls on Freight Transportation in Hampton Roads Region report,which was recommended for HRTPO Board approval by the FTAC at its October 1, 2015meeting. At its November 19, 2015 meeting, the HRTPO Board deferred approval of the finalreport until it has been reviewed by and has received concurrence by the HRTAC.Subsequently, Co-Chairman Moye presented the findings of the report to the HRTAC FundingStrategy Subcommittee at its December 15, 2015 meeting. Mr. Florin added that the HRTACtook note of the report conclusions, most notably that while tolls create a cost to the freightindustry, the cost of doing nothing is greater. Mr. Page also indicated that the CommonwealthTransportation Board will ultimately make the decision on tolling, however that the currentfinancial plan of the HRTAC regional projects assumes no tolls.

3. APPROVAL OF PREVIOUS MEETING’S MINUTES

Mr. White indicated the FTAC Summary Minutes of the October 1, 2015 were included inthe October agenda. He asked for corrections or amendments to the minutes. Hearingnone, Ms. Brown Moved to approve the minutes as written; seconded by Mr. Luebbers.The Motion Carried.

Attachment 19-A


REGULAR AGENDA:

4. HAMPTON ROADS CROSSING STUDY SEIS: UPDATE

Mr. Florin briefed the FTAC on the latest developments of the Hampton Roads CrossingStudy (HRCS) Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS), which reevaluatesthe study and re-examines the three alternatives that were retained for analysis in theoriginal study and an additional alternative identified during initial public outreach.

Utilizing a VDOT November 2015 presentation to the HRTPO Board, Mr. Florin reportedthat VDOT, in coordination with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), hasinitiated the preparation of a SEIS for the HRCS Final Environmental Impact Statement(FEIS) in Summer 2015, during which citizen meetings were held and impactmethodologies were developed.

Mr. Florin covered the difference between the 2001 EIS Purpose and Need versus SEIS,indicating that the HRCS SEIS purpose and need goes beyond simply relieving congestionat the I-64 HRBT – it seeks to improve accessibility, transit, emergency, evacuation, andmilitary and goods movement along the primary transportation corridors in the HamptonRoads region, including the I-64, I-664, I-564, and Route 164 corridors.

Mr. Florin summarized the operationally independent sections of the HRCS, which wouldenable VDOT to work on smaller, separate sections rather than one large project, similarto the current I-64 Peninsula Widening project.

After summarizing each of the four alternatives under analysis, Alternatives A – D, Mr.Florin outlined the next steps of the study. He noted the Final SEIS is to be published inSpring 2017 with an anticipated first Record of Decision (ROD) in Summer 2017. Mr. Florinnoted that the Participating Agency Meeting occurred on December 3, 2015 and the CitizenInformation Meetings occurred December 9-10, 2015. Mr. Florin outlined anticipatedmilestones, which include:

Draft SEIS to be published in August 2016 for public review Location Public Hearings in September 2016 Commonwealth Transportation Board in October/November 2016 Final SEIS: Spring/Summer 2017 Record of Decision: Summer 2017

After some discussion regarding the benefits of operationally independent segments, theCommittee wrapped up the presentation.

5. HRTAC: UPDATE

Before Mr. Page briefed the FTAC on the recent developments and activities of theHampton Roads Transportation Accountability Commission (HRTAC) and HRTF projects,Mr. Florin formally introduced Mr. Page to the Committee.

Mr. Page provided an overview of the purpose of the HRTAC, which is empowered andauthorized to use tolls and the Hampton Roads Transportation Fund (HRTF) revenues forhighway, bridge and tunnel projects in Hampton Roads. Mr. Page outlined the membershipof the HRTAC, which includes fourteen member localities and five General Assemblymembers, as well as four ex-officio members (CTB, VDOT, DRPT, and VPA).

After providing a description of the HRTF components, Mr. Page stated that the AdditionalSales Tax is anticipated to generate $130.2 million in revenues in FY 2016 and $34.6 millionunder the Additional Fuels Tax. Mr. Page noted that over time, the region will need tobecome more reliant on the Additional Sales Tax funds as a more sustainable source ofrevenue to address its reliance on fossil fuels and twenty/thirty year bonds. Furthermore,Mr. Page stated that Senator Wagner is currently working on legislation establishingstabilization in our fuel tax revenues in order to alleviate the use of tolling to generaterevenues for the region.

Since the State Code requires HRTF funds to be spent on highway construction projects inHampton Roads, Mr. Page described how the HRTPO assists the HRTAC in planning andprioritization of projects while the HRTAC then procures, finances (HRTF, tolls, bonds),builds, and operates highway, bridge, and tunnel projects. Through the HRTPO, the HRTACprojects are identified as priority projects in the Long-Range Transportation Plan or VisionPlan. Mr. Page stated that the HRTAC then develops a six-year funding plan to guide inproject development and construction, and submits a request to the HRTPO to add theprojects to the HRTPO Transportation Improvement Program when the HRTAC is ready toallocate funds to specific projects. VDOT assists HRTAC in project readiness andconstruction. Mr. Page stated that the ultimately it is the CTB that selects the LocalPreferred Alternative for the SEIS, maintains Statewide Transportation ImprovementProgram, and allocates state funding to projects in Six-Year Improvement Program.

Regarding the HRTF projects, Mr. Page noted that the projects on the Peninsula (I-64Peninsula Widening and Ft. Eustis Interchange) will be fully funded in June 2016 thanks tothe HB2 award. Mr. Page also noted that with the improvements to the US 460/58/13Connector that the HRTAC is anticipating in the future where 58 or 460 is a greaterimproved highway system or is connected to an interstate into North Carolina. It is withthese landside logistic efforts that the HRTAC and HRTPO seek to unlock the HamptonRoads region for the military presence, citizens, and commerce and trade of the Port. Mr.Page stated that except for the East-West Connector (also known as Patriots Crossing), allthe HRTF projects involve making improvements to the existing VDOT highway network.

Attachment 19-A


Since August 2015, over $600 million have been invested in Hampton Roads regionaltransportation priority projects, of which $493 million are HRTF funds. Additionally, theCTB will consider a proposed HB2 award of $145 million to the I-64 Widening project thruRoute 199 West of Williamsburg (exit 234) in June 2016. Through a collaboration with theHRTPO, the HRTAC submitted applications for HB2 funds for the I-64 Peninsula Widening(all three segments combined into one project application), I-64 Southside Widening(including High Rise Bridge), and I-64/I-264 Interchange projects.

Mr. Page stated that there are 18-24 months remaining to complete the Hampton RoadsCrossing Study SEIS and reach a decision. Concurrently, consultants (PFM) have assistedthe HRTAC in the development of a Plan of Finance/Funding Plan Update to finance andbuild the projects. Mr. Page noted that the HRTPO needs the HRTAC’s Funding Plan byMarch 2016 to update the HRTAC projects in the HRTPO 2040 LRTP. At its February 2016meeting, the HRTPO approved the project sequencing. Mr. Page and Dr. Ravanbakht statedthat this is the first time in twenty years that the LRTP did not list these projects as “studies”but instead listed as construction projects.

Regarding next steps, the HRTAC will continue to work to develop solutions andconsiderations will be made as more information is available regarding the HB2 results,General Assembly outcomes, height of High Rise Bridge, status of old federal earmarks,HRCS SEIS, and the public discussion on how to fund the projects (HRTAC Draft 2016-2022Funding Plan and HRTPO 2040 LRTP). Mr. Page stated that the region will be poised andready once the HRCS SEIS is complete as the HRTAC’s secure funding plan fully funds I-64Southside (including High Rise Bridge) Phase I and Hampton Roads Crossing Project PhaseI. Mr. Page noted that a public hearing will be held on March 14, 2016 for the Draft HRTAC2016-2022 Funding Plan.

Mr. White asked members for any questions or comments. Hearing none, Mr. Whiteexpressed his gratitude and appreciation to the HRTAC and HRTPO for their pace andefforts. Additionally, Mr. White made the observation that business community shouldbe made aware of these developments and timelines as it may affect their decisions. Mr.Page agreed and noted that he makes this presentation to the business community andorganization to communicate the latest developments of HRTAC and HRTF projects. Mr.Luebbers recommended showing the nine HRTF projects with projected completiondates and projected added capacity. Dr. Ravanbakht commented that the HRTPO staff iscurrently working on this and anticipates having this ready for the March 2016 HRTPOBoard meeting.

Mr. Page stated that as the CTB moves forward in making decisions, it will be mindful andkeen fully aware of the ERC Compensation Agreement and may utilize tolling in order toalleviate competition/compensation agreement issues.

Ms. McPherson indicated that by 2022, the region will be half way completed with nine ofthe HRTF projects.

Attachment 19-A


Mr. Luebbers inquired more information about the High Rise Bridge construction phasingstrategy of Phase I of the I-64 Southside Widening. Mr. Page stated that sincereplacement of the bridge is needed by 2040 and that additional capacity is not neededby 2040, it was decided to construct two bridges adjacent to each other in two phasesand provide incremental congestion relief by constructing the first bridge (Phase I) andutilize the existing High Rise Bridge until its lifetime prompting the construction of thesecond bridge. Mr. Page added that by 2022 when Phase I is complete, there will be sizelanes (two lanes plus one managed lane in each direction) all the way through BowersHill.

6. FY 2016 AND FY 2017 HRTPO WORK PROGRAM

Mr. Nichols briefed the FTAC on the tasks included in the current FY 2016 HRTPO UnifiedPlanning Work Program (UPWP) and draft FY 2017 UPWP freight-related planningpriorities and tasks. Mr. Nichols stated that staff will be working on the 2016 update tothe Regional Freight Study, which is maintained to assist the HRTPO Board in makingdecisions on transportation improvements related to freight and how desirable they areto the freight community. Mr. Nichols noted the Regional Freight Study is updated everyfour years, and during its last update in 2012, the FTAC assisted staff with selecting whichfreight metrics would be most helpful. In addition to the 2012 Regional Freight Study,the HRTPO staff has developed other freight studies, such as the future truck delay,positioning the region to be more competitive for freight related grants, and the impactof the nine HRTF projects on freight delay throughout the region.

The 2016 Update is expected to be completed in Summer 2016 and will include:

1. National freight planning efforts and funding sources

National Freight Strategic Plan (Draft)

Multimodal Freight Network (MFN - Draft)

New Funding Program for Freight within the FAST Act

2. Freight Facilities in HR & Freight Trends

3. Commodity Flows to, From, and Within HR

4. Regional Truck Movement & Bottlenecks

Regional Gateways

Regional Water Crossings

Daily Truck Movements

Existing Truck Bottlenecks/Delays

Mr. Nichols stated that the National Freight Planning Efforts and Funding Sources andrelated studies (Item 1) will be new to the Regional Freight Study as a result of the newFederal transportation legislation (FAST Act). Mr. Nichols added that Study will bedeveloped with the FAST Act in mind, most particularly as the legislation provides newfunds for freight projects.

Attachment 19-A


Mr. Nichols stated that the 2016 Update will include Commodity Flows To, From, andWithin Hampton Roads, using the IHS Transearch Database from VDOT, which is thestandard source of US freight flow information over 30 years. The database covers bothshort-term and long-term data (2012 and 2040 forecast), to which Mr. White askedclarification for whether the projections would include the build-out of Craney Island.Mr. Belfield stated that staff would have to make an inquiry with VDOT to determine theanswer. Ms. McPherson inquired whether the county level flow and origin/destinationdata could be provided in dollar amount or truck units instead of tonnage as thesemetrics have more value and are more relevant to the Port, and Mr. Nichols respondedthat the 2012 Study did include tonnage and dollar amount and staff plans on doing thesame for the 2016 Update.

After providing a summary on the Freight Movement to/from/within Hampton Roadsand other economic areas at a national, state, and regional level, Mr. Nichols briefed theCommittee on top ten regional freight gateways, noting the importance of the I-64Peninsula Widening project as I-64 handles twice as much truck volumes than Route 58.Mr. Nichols stated that the total existing weekday truck delay hours metric is used in theHRTPO Prioritization process.

Regarding the FY 2017 Work Program, Mr. Nichols stated that, with the collaborationbetween HRTPO staff and FTAC staff, the Draft Program includes:

1. Truck Delay Impacts of the 2040 LRTP and Regional Priority Projects

Use the truck component of regional model to estimate future system-widetruck delay impacts

2. Geography of Truck Movements in Hampton Roads

Truck origins/destinations for high profile facilities (e.g. HRBT, High RiseBridge) using the regional model

Analyze truck movements and routing for Port-related traffic using ATRIdata

3. Project Prioritization Tool Updates

Review and update various measures and scoring (including freight) throughthe LRTP subcommittee and TTAC

Mr. Luebbers asked if the truck activity generated from port activity was parsed out andMr. Nichols explained that the ATRI data will be Port-related traffic only based on theterms of the purchase. After a brief discussion, concern was expressed regardingwhether non-Port related freight traffic would go underreported. Dr. Ravanbakht statedthat staff does not want to report an inaccurate representation of freight traffic and willreturn to the FTAC before any work has begun.

Attachment 19-A


Regarding the FY 2017 Work Program Project Prioritization Tool Updates, Mr. Nicholsstated that after the 2040 LRTP is approved, the next step will be reviewing all themeasures in the Tool for the 2045 LRTP. Dr. Ravanbakht stated that although the HRTPOTool was utilized as a basis for the development of the Statewide Prioritization Tool,modifications were made to the Statewide Tool and as such, the HRTPO staff will revisitits Tool to ensure the way the HRTPO evaluates and prioritizes projects is in line with theState Tool and new legislation such as HB2 and FAST Act. Some new measures that willbe considered will be freight and sea level related.

Mr. Nichols concluded his presentation by requesting input and suggestions from theFTAC. Mr. White asked if the new Federal legislation has released its guidelines and howtheir process will align with State and regional processes. Mr. Nichols stated that theyhave not yet as it is too early in the process and guidelines will be released over the nextfew months to years.

7. 2016 FTAC ACTION ITEMS

Mr. Florin briefed the FTAC on the Committee’s 2016 action items. Mr. Florin stated thatover the year, he anticipates the FTAC will be working closely with the HRTPO staff todiscern movement of freight within the region. During 2016, Mr. Florin foresees theFTAC engaging the HRTPO on a regular basis and being more involved in theprioritization efforts. He indicated that a FTAC workgroup, consisting a subset of FTACmembers or appointees with freight technical expertise, could be formed in orderparticipate and assist HRTPO and FTAC staff during in the development of the HRTPORegional Freight Study update. This workgroup could also work with the HRTPO andregional economists to objectively quantify economic vitality metrics of freightmovements.

Mr. White asked if there was anything the FTAC could do to the freight standing in theHB2 prioritization process and Mr. Florin stated that FTAC staff has prepared a resolutionfor the HRTPO Board that addresses this. Mr. White added that it might be helpful for apresentation to be made to the inland freight transportation committee about theRegional Freight Study in order to garner more input from the maritime community.

8. 2040 LRTP: UPDATE

Ms. Stith briefed the FTAC on a status update of the HRTPO 2040 Long-RangeTransportation Plan (LRTP). After providing a summary of 2040 LRTP compendium ofreports that have been completed and remaining to be completed, Ms. Stith provided anexplanation of the LRTP fiscal-constraint requirements. Ms. Stith reported that in July2015, HRTPO staff was informed by VDOT that the original long-range revenue forecastfrom December 2013 was being revised to reflect the funding mechanisms described inHB1887. She indicated that HRTPO staff received the revised LRTP revenue forecast fromVDOT on October 30, 2015. Utilizing the 2040 LRTP Guiding Principles for FiscalConstraint, the HRTPO staff worked with the LRTP Subcommittee to review severalpotential project funding scenarios to reflect the decrease in the revised revenue forecast.

Attachment 19-A


Ms. Stith indicated that even though the revised 2040 revenues decreased by $3.2 billion,the impact was relatively minimal as the revised working draft 9 highway projects wereremoved from May 2015 draft list and 5 highway projects are now constrained with LocalFunds. The revised working draft list includes:

36 Committed Projects 88 Highway Projects (37 Locally Funded) 14 Transit Projects 13 Active Transportation Projects (1 Locally Funded)

Dr. Ravanbakht provided a background on the development of the sequencing ofRegional Priority Projects based on project readiness, approved at the February 2016HRTPO Board meeting. She indicated that in April 2016, HRTPO staff anticipates briefingthe HRTPO Board on how the financing of these projects can be achieved in the next 25years.

Ms. Stith stated staff plans to present the Draft Fiscally-Constrained List of Projects toTTAC and HRTPO Board in March and providing a public review period of the draft listfrom March to May, which will include presentations to the advisory committees. It isanticipated HRTPO Board approval of the Fiscally-Constrained List of Projects will occurin June 2015, with Board approval of the Adopted 2040 LRTP in July 2015.

9. FOR YOUR INFORMATION

Mr. Florin briefed the FTAC on the FYI items.

10.ANNOUNCEMENT OF NEXT MEETING DATE

Under New Business, Mr. Florin stated that the FTAC staff prepared a draft resolutionadvising the HRTPO to coordinate with the Commonwealth in refining the freight metricsof the Statewide Prioritization Process based on HB2. He stated that although the HRTPOPrioritization Tool places greater emphasis on freight, freight only directly comprises 1%of a project’s HB2 score in Hampton Roads in the Statewide Prioritization Tool.

Dr. Ravanbakht stated that the Commonwealth will be accepting public commentsregarding the HB2 Process/Statewide Tool and the HRTPO staff will submit comments forthe CTB to consider. FTAC staff requested that the HRTPO’s comments include a commentregarding the inaccurate representation of freight in Hampton Roads under the currentStatewide Prioritization Tool. After some discussion, the general consensus was for FTACand HRTPO staffs to coordinate to refine the resolution to provide more detail regardingthe freight metrics under the congestion and economic development measures, such asfreight movements and goods throughput.

The announcement of next meeting was postponed and would to be announced at a laterdate.

With no further business to come before the FTAC, the meeting adjourned at 12:40.

FY 2017 Unified Planning Work Program: Final Dr. Camelia Ravanbakht, HRTPO Deputy Executive Director, reported that the draft report of the FY 2017 Unified Planning Work Program was presented to TTAC at its March 2, 2016 meeting and underwent public review from March 4, 2016 through April 15, 2016. She noted that all comments received were reviewed, addressed, and included in the appendix of the final report. Dr. Ravanbakht noted that HRTPO staff has requested a peer exchange with FHWA regarding Scenario Planning, one of the FY 2017 UPWP planning priorities. She indicated that FHWA has accepted and it will be scheduled for November. An invite will be sent to all TTAC members at a later date. Mr. Cross Moved to recommend HRTPO Board approval of the final report; seconded by Mr. Brian Solis. The Motion Carried. Balancing FY 2017 – 2022 CMAQ Allocations Mr. John Mihaly, HRTPO Transportation Analyst, reported that the HRTPO is responsible for project selection and funding allocation for the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ) and the Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP). Marks for the RSTP for FY 2017-2022 have been updated to reflect adjustments to address the impact of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. He stated the change in CMAQ marks is partially due to Virginia no longer meeting criteria that previously allowed the Commonwealth to reduce the required set-aside for PM2.5 (particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter) projects. Without the exemption, Virginia is required to set-aside 25% of its CMAQ apportionment to fund PM2.5 projects and the result is a reduction in CMAQ funding available for MPO distribution. Mr. Mihaly indicated that due to the reduction in CMAQ marks, Hampton Roads is significantly over-allocated for the years FY 2017-2020. HRTPO staff used the following strategy to produce a plan to maintain the funding status of all of the region’s CMAQ projects:

• Identify dual-funded (CMAQ and RSTP) projects so that RSTP allocations may be added to off-set the de-allocation of CMAQ funds

• Affect the fewest projects possible

HRTPO staff selected the following two projects as potential candidates for addressing the CMAQ funding decreases:

• UPC 102734 – Multimodal Intercity Passenger Rail Station (Newport News) to address CMAQ over-allocations of $2,712,413 in FY 2017 and $821,207 in FY 2018

Attachment 19-B


• UPC T11778 – Purchase 41 Forty Foot Replacement Buses (HRT) to address CMAQ over-allocations of $549,214 in FY 2019 and $241,764 in FY 2020

HRTPO staff coordinated with Newport News and HRT staff on the funding adjustments described above and they concurred with the strategy. Ms. Jackie Kassel Moved to recommend HRTPO Board approval of the changes in CMAQ and RSTP allocations (and applicable TIP amendments) for the following projects to address the reduction in CMAQ funding available for the HRTPO area for FY 2017 – FY 2020:

• UPC 102734 – Multimodal Intercity Passenger Rail Station (Newport News) o Decrease FY 2017 CMAQ allocation by $2,712,413 o Increase FY 2017 RSTP allocation by $2,712,413 o Decrease FY 2018 CMAQ allocation by $821,207 o Increase FY 2018 RSTP allocation by $821,207

• UPC T11778 – Purchase 41 Forty Foot Replacement Buses (HRT)

o Decrease FY 2019 CMAQ allocation by $549,214 o Increase FY 2019 RSTP allocation by $549,214 o Decrease FY 2020 CMAQ allocation by $241,764 o Increase FY 2020 RSTP allocation by $241,764

The Motion was seconded by Mr. Robert Lewis. The Motion Carried. 2040 Long-Range Transportation Plan: Plan Performance Ms. Theresa Jones, HRTPO Transportation Engineer II, reported that at its March 17, 2016 meeting, the HRTPO Board approved the Draft Fiscally-Constrained List of Projects outlining $12.8 billion in project priorities for the 2040 Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). The Draft List is currently under a public review and comment period until May 20, 2016. She stated that as part of the compendium of reports that comprise the Hampton Roads 2040 LRTP, HRTPO staff has produced additional products to aid in the review of the Draft Fiscally-Constrained List of Projects. The Funding Plan documentation, Project Information Guide, and online map visualizing the draft projects and studies were presented at the April TTAC. In addition to these resources, staff has produced the 2040 LRTP Plan Performance report that summarizes forecasted impacts from the Regional Travel Demand Model as well as the Title VI/Environmental Justice Impact Scores for each of the draft projects. Ms. Jones discussed the impacts from the Regional Travel Demand Model and afterwards, Mr. Leo Pineda, II, HRTPO Transportation Planner, outlined the customized strategies utilized to reach out to engage the Title VI/EJ populations in Hampton Roads. The draft Plan Performance report will be posted online by May 6, 2016 with comments due to Dale Stith no later than May 20, 2016.

Transit Provisions of the FAST Act Mr. Rob Jaques, HRTPO Transportation Planner, reported that on December 4, 2015, the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act was signed into law. He stated the FAST Act made changes to existing provisions of Federal Law pertaining to transit infrastructure investment, including reforms to improve and consolidate public transportation programs, increase flexibility for states and local governments to meet their transit needs, and address transit safety. He noted that the FAST Act also provides stable 5-year funding with a slight increase over previous funding levels, including $60 billion for public transportation over the life of the bill. Southeastern Parkway and Greenbelt Update Dr. Mike Robinson, Director of the Innovative Transportation Solutions (CITS) for the Old Dominion University Center reported that the Southeastern Parkway and Greenbelt (SEPG) project began in 1987 as a location study, initiated by VDOT, as a potential way to address transportation needs in Virginia Beach and Chesapeake. The 21-mile long project would begin at the I-64/I-464 interchange in Chesapeake, extend generally east and northeast, and terminate at I-264 east of Oceana Naval Air Station in Virginia Beach. The project was proposed as a limited access facility with cross sections varying between four, six, and eight lanes. After progressing through the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), the project stalled in 2009 due to environmental concerns and insufficient justification for the project. He stated that in 2014 the City of Virginia Beach commissioned the Old Dominion University Center for Innovative Transportation Solutions (CITS) to produce a new SEPG study using the latest microscopic modeling techniques to address FHWA transportation concerns. He indicated that the analysis utilized the preferred alternative adopted by the Commonwealth Transportation Board in 1996 and that the study included the consideration of the effects of vehicle crashes as well as the utility of the project for hurricane evacuation. Dr. Robinson noted key findings from the study include:

• SEPG slightly improves system performance • Anticipated volumes lower than previous forecasts • Reduced build up in southeastern Virginia Beach • Current long range projects appear to be effective • Tolls shift traffic to arterials, reducing overall system performance • SEPG provide some hurricane evacuation clearance time improvement • Bottleneck at Bowers Hill may significantly impact Virginia Beach evacuations

The Elizabeth River Trail, Phases 3a and 4b projects (UPCs 97727 and 103075) involve connecting two existing segments of the Trail and upgrading another section.

Phase 3a, in West Ghent, bridges a gap in the trail between the Mallory Country Club to the south and Jeff Robertson Park to the north. This new section of the trail passes behind the County Club, over Lamberts Creek via a new wooden bridge, and behind the Weyanoke Bird and Wildlife Sanctuary. This section also passes near the Norfolk Southern Lamberts Point Coal Terminal.

Phase 4b will improve pedestrian and bicycle facilities along the existing multi-use trail route through the neighborhood just south of Old Dominion University. Improvements include repaving, landscaping, and lighting upgrades along the trail from 25th Street to Parker Avenue, along Parker Avenue, West 38th Street, and Powhatan Avenue to West 43rd Street at the edge of the ODU campus.

With the completion of these sections, the Elizabeth River Trail will provide a continuous route from the Chelsea neighborhood in West Ghent, through ODU, to the north side of the Hampton Boulevard bridge over the Lafayette River, near the Norfolk Yacht & Country Club.

What is the Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization?The Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization (HRTPO) is a federally mandated transporta-tion policy board comprised of representatives from local, state, and federal governments, transit agen-cies, and other stakeholders. Responsible for transportation planning and programming for the Hampton Roads area, one of the core functions of the HRTPO is the development and maintenance of the Transpor-tation Improvement Program (TIP).

The HRTPO TIP is a four-year program for the implementation of surface transportation projects in Hampton Roads. These projects include transit, highway, rail, bicycle, pedestrian, and freight-related projects. Before any federally-funded and/or regionally-significant project can be built in Hampton Roads, it must be approved by the HRTPO Board and included in the TIP.

What is the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)?

The TIP is developed by the HRTPO in cooperation with the Virginia Depart-ment of Transportation, the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transpor-tation, and local public transit agencies. In addition, the public is provided op-portunities to review and comment at various stages during the development of the TIP. Once the TIP has been approved by the HRTPO Board and the Gover-nor, it is incorporated into the statewide TIP, which is submitted to the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration for approval.

How is the TIP created?

Projects in the TIP may be funded by federal, state, local or private funds, or any combination of such funds. For a listing of the current funding sources, see Section III, page 4 of the TIP Document.

How are projects in the TIP funded?

Yes, changes are routinely made to the TIP by way of amendments or administrative modifications. The TIP may be amended in order to add, change, or delete projects. TIP amendments must be approved by the HRTPO Board. The TIP amendment process also includes opportunities for public review and comment. By signing up for the HRTPO E-Newsletter, you can ensure that you will be notified of opportunities to comment on TIP amendments. Proposed TIP amendments are also posted on the HRTPO website under Public Notices. Administrative modifications involve minor changes to projects that do not involve Board approval or public review.

Can the TIP be changed?

There is never enough funding available to make all of the transportation improvements desired, and since the vast majority of transportation funding comes from federal and state taxes, it is important that the public have a say in how and where transportation dollars are spent. The TIP provides that informa-tion for each project, including cost estimates, schedules, funding allocations, and expenditures. The TIP website (www.hrtpotip.org) also includes an interactive mapping tool that allows the user to access project information by location.

Why is the TIP important to me?
