4 New Mexico 2040 Transportation Plan

5 Purpose of the plan Provide a visionary, transparent, predictable, performance-based, and strategic framework to guide decisionmaking for future transportation investments in New Mexico. Note: This plan meets the requirements of federal law (23 USC 135) for each state to develop a long range plan that is based on wide and diverse stakeholder input; addresses multiple modes of transportation (including bicycles and pedestrians); is statewide in scope; and has a 20-year minimum horizon.

6 Phased Development PHASE 1: Existing Conditions Where Are We Now? Data and Information Needs Assessment Existing Conditions and Trends Analysis PHASE 2: Strategic Direction Where Do We Want To Go? Vision, Goals, Objectives, and Performance Measures Scenario Analysis Target Setting PHASE 3: Resource Allocation How Will We Get There? Plan Alternatives Analysis PHASE 4: Implementation What Will It Take? Plan Writing, Graphic Design, & Document Management Plan Approval and Implementation

10 2040 Plan Vision and Goals

11 Goals and Strategies Transparency and Accountability» Outstanding, customer-focused employees recruit, reward, retain» Public trust + support form partnerships and retain 2040 Plan coordinating committees to leverage external resources» Data + information improve quality to support project and program evaluation» Project evaluation develop and implement evaluation criteria and statewide project prioritization process based on 2040 Plan Goals and Strategies Safety for All System Users» Data-driven, proactive processes implement Strategic Highway Safety Plan» Partnerships with other agencies identify and pursue opportunities

12 Goals and Strategies Preservation and Maintenance» Preservation-first asset management strategy develop and implement the Transportation Asset Management Plan (TAMP)» Life-cycle cost analysis use to evaluate and prioritize all types of projects (including capacity expansion)» Prioritization by tier prioritize investment of funds by modal tier to achieve minimum standards for design, maintenance, and efficient operations

13 Goals and Strategies Access and Connectivity» Operations and Demand Management First proactively implement all reasonable operations and demand management strategies before committing scarce capital funds to expand capacity» Strategic Investment in Key Corridors focus NMDOT resources (considering full life-cycle cost) to support movement of people and goods along a limited number of key corridors (i.e., corridors with regional, statewide, interstate, or international significance)» Land use transportation coordination prioritize projects, programs, and activities that help minimize transportation infrastructure and service costs through coordination of transportation and land use planning (including site selection for public facilities)» Changing Demographics align transportation system to be responsive to changing demographic trends (aging population, Millennials, etc.)

14 Goals and Strategies Respect Cultures, Environment, History, Quality of Life» Context sensitive solutions: find a best fit transportation solution that meets expectations of both NMDOT and community stakeholders» Require and respect local plans Target funds to support communities that develop 2040 Plan-consistent transportation plans and demonstrate financial and administrative capacity to implement them successfully» Environmentally friendly practices Minimize or avoid negative impacts on the natural environment where possible» Recreation and tourism Work proactively with public and private-sector partners to advance state, regional, and tribal tourism and recreational goals while minimizing adverse impacts to cultural resources

15 Priority Tiers

16 Priority Freight Network

17 Implementation Priorities FFY Coordinate with MPOs/RTPOs on Performance Targets Incorporate USDOT/FHWA Rule Making & National Measures Develop Project Evaluation Criteria & Process 2040 Plan and TAMP

18 Implementation Priorities continued Identify and Acquire Data to Support Evaluation Criteria Upgrade Travel Demand Model, assess Transportation Operations & Management Best Practices Evaluate, Monitor & Update Socio-Economic Forecasts Assist RTPOs in Assessing Needs Based on RTPs and Enhanced Data & Analysis Implement Evaluation Criteria & Process Monitor and Improve as Needed

19 Key Take Aways Prioritized tiers for investment decisions Asset Management First Operations and travel demand analysis second (prior to adding capacity) Safety Always Discretionary Funding Promote Multimodal Access, Economic Development and Quality of Life

21 NMDOT Transportation Asset Management Plan

22 What is TAM? A way of managing transportation infrastructure that delivers greater performance for the resources available.. Optimizes resource investments in transportation infrastructure by making strategic decisions based on data that minimizes risk and maximizes performance.. Asset management is a strategic and systematic process of operating, maintaining, and improving physical assets, with a focus on engineering and economic analysis based upon quality information, to identify a structured sequence of maintenance, preservation, repair, rehabilitation, and replacement actions that will achieve and sustain a desired state of good repair over the lifecycle of the assets at minimum practicable cost.

23 Why Asset Management Maximize Future Funding Congress passed MAP-21 requiring performance based budgeting and monitoring for access to federal funds Legislative bodies throughout the country are seeking evidence of progress made with funding provided Demonstrating asset need with quantitative information is compelling to decision-makers Maximize Your Current Funds Life-Cycle Costing Having the information available to make SMART decisions Better coordinating efforts across business units Accountability throughout the organization, partners, and stakeholders

24 Preservation

25 MAP-21 Requirements Each State is required to develop a riskbased asset management plan for the National Highway System (NHS) to improve or preserve the condition of the assets and the performance of the system (23 USC 119(e)(8), MAP The USDOT Secretary is required to issue a regulation not later than 18 months after date of enactment after consultation with the States (The NPRM has not been issued)

28 TAM Mission NMDOT uses data-driven asset management to maximize use of limited public resources and maintain the state s transportation infrastructure in the best possible condition. Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. Theodore Roosevelt 26th president of US ( )

29 Manage Assets Effectively Policy Goals & Objectives Goals & Investments Are Aligned With Performance Data Budgets Expectations Tradeoff Analysis Resource Allocations Performance Monitoring Improvement Programs & Delivery

30 Draft Guiding Principles Condition and Performance» Maintain current condition (5% Structurally Deficient) or show slight improvement for the NHS» Maintain no better than 10% Structurally Deficient for the non-nhs» When offered an alternative, maintain what we have before adding capacity» Determine thresholds for Good, Fair, and Poor using Pavement Condition Rating (PCR), with recognition to MAP-21 requirements (pavement)

31 Draft Guiding Principles Funding and Resource Allocation» Reserve a % of budget for statewide prioritization» A % of the model recommendation can be overridden by engineering judgment» Delineate funding decisions between Interstate, non- Interstate NHS, non-nhs, and Off System Management Systems» Bridge» Pavement» Other Assets (Future TBD)
