9 4 MATPB Unified Planning Work Program

10 Introduction This 2019 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) represents the first-year planning activities of the Overall Program Design Report of the Madison Area Transportation Planning Board (MATPB). The MATPB is the officially designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and transportation planning policy body for the Madison metropolitan area. The MATPB work program is an annual publication that outlines major transportation planning issues, describes the planning activities the MPO will undertake and be involved in the following year, summarizes the MPO s recent planning activities and accomplishments, and identifies how federal, state, and local transportation funding will be spent on the different planning activities. The publication of an MPO work program is required by federal law as a condition of receiving federal transportation funding. The work program is presented in a format to highlight the planning program activities to be undertaken in 2019 and to note the basic overall program activities expected in future years. The 2019 UPWP continues the MATPB s planning activities for all modes of transportation and includes relevant activities by other agencies related to transportation planning. A Summary Table of the Proposed 2019 MATPB Budget on page 33 shows the overall work program budget, including the amount and source of funds for each work element. 14 ID Mazomanie FF T o w n o f F Z B l u e M o u n d s Z A F 14 F 78 J JJ ID E Y F T o w n o f V e r m o n t JG A H J 78 KP 14 T o w n o f B l a c k E a r t h F Blue Mounds JJ JG Mount Horeb 78 ID E 92 JG 78 A 78 Y T o w n o f M a z o m a n i e F T o w n o f H P e r r y JG JG Y JG 60 Black Earth 188 KP G G U A A T o w n o f P r i m r o s e U G 19 J S T o w n o f R o x b u r y Y Y KP Cross Plains P KP KP KP T o w n o f C r o s s P l a i n s P P V T o w n o f S p r i n g d a l e K T o w n o f B e r r y P J J P S J PD V P T o w n o f S p r i n g f i e l d T o w n o f M i d d l e t o n S 69 M G T o w n o f V e r o n a 69 A T o w n o f D a n e City of Middleton 92 PB K T o w n o f M o n t r o s e M M MV PB A PB 69 Belleville D CC 92 Dane PD DD A D K M Q 151 City of Verona 19 Q City of Madison D I DM I T o w n o f V i e n n a Q K V Shorewood Hills MS 151 M M M D Oregon CC A I M V MM 14 MM MM MM 92 DM 51 DeForest V DV A CV B Waunakee 19 T o w n o f 113 W e s t p o r t T o w n o f B u r k e CV 51 T o w n o f M a d i s o n PD City of Fitchburg D T o w n o f O r e g o n Maple Bluff Brooklyn MC MM 14 CV BW City of 51 Madison City of Monona T o w n o f D u n n BB 51 V Windsor T McFarland C C City of Sun Prairie 19 C AB A T o w n o f R u t l a n d T o w n o f B l o o m i n g G r o v e AB T V TT BB N N V V V V V T o w n o f S u n P r a i r i e V V V V V T BB N T o w n o f C o t t a g e G r o v e B 138 MN 51 City of Stoughton N Cottage Grove N 19 N N N B N N A 138 N T o w n o f B r i s t o l T o w n o f P l e a s a n t S p r i n g s BN 51 T o w n o f D u n k i r k BN B A N TT W W W X T B A N V TT A T o w n o f C h r i s t i a n a 73 A BB V T o w n o f Y o r k 73 T o w n o f D e e r f i e l d PQ 89 TV 19 T o w n o f 73 M e d i n a City of Edgerton Marshall Deerfield Cambridge A 134 B Rockdale T o w n o f A l b i o n O O Planning Boundaries of the Madison Area Transportation Planning Board A Metropolitan Planning Organization Madison Urban Area (approved by U.S. DOT 6/11/13, revision approved by MATPB 3/4/15) Metropolitan Planning Area Boundary (approved by WisDOT 7/30/13) Incorporated Area (2018) Prepared by staff to the: Date Revised: 8/10/ Miles Author: pldms Path: M:\MPO_GIS\GIS_Users\Dan_S\ArcMapPrj\Trans\MPO_Bndry2010\Current\MCDandUAB_color.mxd Date Printed: 8/10/2018 5

11 Federal law requires that MPOs work closely and coordinate planning efforts with State Departments of Transportation and major transit operators as well as local units of government and other stakeholders. The MATPB, Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT), and Metro Transit have a three-party Cooperative Agreement for continuing transportation planning for the Madison metropolitan area. The agreement is posted on the MPO s website at the following link: Federal law also requires that MPOs maintain a public involvement plan that outlines the public participation goals and techniques to be used in the regional transportation planning and programming processes. The MATPB s current public participation plan is on the agency s website at the following link: This 2019 UPWP has been prepared with input from local municipalities, Metro Transit and other transit providers, WisDOT, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and the public through the MATPB s advisory committees, the MPO policy board, and other means consistent with the MATPB s Public Participation Plan. The MATPB s advisory committees include a Technical Coordinating Committee (TCC), ITS Subcommittee of the TCC, and a Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC). The MATPB also utilizes other ad hoc committees and citizen groups, as needed, as advisory groups to the MATPB. An example is the advisory committee that was created to oversee development of the Regional Transportation Plan The MATPB organization and advisory committees is discussed starting in Appendix 2.. MPOs are required to certify that the metropolitan transportation planning process is being carried out in accordance with all applicable federal requirements. Appendix 4 provides a summary of MATPB s self-certification with a listing of plans and activities to meet the nine requirements. A self-certification is also included in the adopting resolution for this UPWP. As a subrecipient of FTA and FHWA funds administered by WisDOT, the MATPB is required to comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987, and all related regulations and statutes. In addition, the MATPB is required to comply with Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, U.S. Department of Transportation, Subtitle A, Office of the Secretary, Part 21, Nondiscrimination in Federally-assisted Programs of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT). The purpose of these laws and regulations is to assure that no person or groups of persons shall, on the grounds of race, color, and national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any and all programs, services, or activities administered by the MPO, regardless of whether those programs and activities are federally funded or not. The MATPB has a Title VI Non-Discrimination Program/Limited English Proficiency Plan, which was adopted in December The document is posted on the MPO s website at the following link: The most current Title VI Non-Discrimination Agreement between WisDOT and the MATPB is also on the Civil Rights/Title VI page of the MATPB website at: The MATPB has adopted rules and operating procedures to facilitate the performance of its transportation planning and programming responsibilities and establish guidance on issues pertaining to the MPO that are not otherwise addressed in other documents. These rules and operating procedures are posted on the MATPB website at the following link: 6 MATPB Unified Planning Work Program

12 Planning Issues and Priorities The planning issues and priorities, which guide the development of the UPWP activities, have been established through adopted major transportation plans intended to guide transportation infrastructure investments in the region as well as follow up studies and annual updates of past work programs. Adopted major MATPB plans and MATPB led studies that have helped refine planning issues and priorities over the past 10+ years include: Regional Transportation Plan 2050 for the Madison Metropolitan Area Charting Our Course (2017) 2035 Regional Transportation Plan Update: Madison Metropolitan Area & Dane County (2012) Regional Transportation Plan 2030: Madison Metropolitan Area & Dane County (2006 and Supplement 2007) Bicycle Transportation Plan for the Madison Metropolitan Area & Dane County (2015) Congestion Management Process for the Madison Metropolitan Planning Area (2011) Regional Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Strategic Plan for the Madison Metropolitan Area (2015) Transit Development Plan (TDP) for the Madison Urban Area and earlier TDP updates Madison Transit Corridor Study Investigating Bus Rapid Transit in the Madison Area (2013) Coordinated Public Transit Human Services Transportation Plan for Dane County (2013) and earlier updates In addition to the above MATPB plans and studies, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT), City of Madison, and Dane County have undertaken or are in the process of completing special studies focusing on major corridors or areas, specific modes of travel, or other plans. These studies help to refine the recommendations in the MPO s Regional Transportation Plan and identify further specific planning issues and priorities that need to be addressed. These plans and studies include: WisDOT Connections 2030 Multi-Modal Transportation Plan (2009) WisDOT Traffic Operations Infrastructure Plan (2008) WisDOT Wisconsin Arterial Integration Management Plan (2014) Wisconsin State Rail Plan 2030 (2014) Wisconsin State Freight Plan (2018) Wisconsin Strategic Highway Safety Plan and earlier updates WisDOT Southwest Region state highway corridor studies, including ongoing major studies for Stoughton Road (USH 51) and the Beltline (USH 12/14/18/151) Transport 2020 (East-West Transit Alternatives Analysis) Study (Phase 1 Report, 2002, and Phase 2, 2008) North Mendota Parkway Alternatives Study and Corridors Study (2003, 2009) City of Madison s Madison in Motion Transportation Master Plan (2017) Annual updates of the Transportation Performance Measures Report will help highlight trends and issues going forward. The Madison urban area and Dane County region is an area with extensive opportunities for public participation and discussion. With a broad array of local units of government, state and local agencies, and a myriad of interest groups, many public issues are subject to extended public discussions and debate. Implementation of transit centers to provide bus transfer points, expansion of USH 12 to a four-lane expressway, West Beltline/Verona Road interchange area study, studies of high capacity transit service (rail, BRT), and the current WisDOT Stoughton Road (USH 51) and Beltline (USH 12/14/18/151) 7

13 studies are all examples of projects and issues that have been the subject of extended local discussions. One of the major MATPB planning priorities for 2019 is to begin implementation of the multi-year Strategic Work Plan to improve the regional travel model and other planning analysis tools to improve transportation performance monitoring and assessments, prepare for the next RTP update, and support other planning activities. This includes hiring and working with a consultant to update, recalibrate, and enhance the regional travel forecasting model. Another priority is to support the interagency team of MPO, Metro Transit, and City of Madison staff to work with a consultant to complete a study to identify and scope out the initial Bus Rapid Transit project to be constructed in the east-west corridor. A third priority is to complete an intersection safety study and local roadway safety plan along with preparing an update of MATPB s Congestion Management Process document. Other priorities include continuing to work with WisDOT and Metro Transit to implement the federal performance management requirements, including setting state and MPO performance measure targets, completing processing, tabulation, and analysis of household travel survey data, and completing an update to the Transit Development Plan. The U.S. Department of Transportation recommends MPOs include 2019 work program activities to (1) address the transition to performance based planning and programming; (2) coordinate planning efforts to ensure a regional approach, including among state DOTS, MPOs, and operators of public transportation; and (3) identify and address access to essential services. The transition to performance based planning is being addressed by a number of MPO projects and activities. The MPO is now preparing an annual Performance Measures report and is coordinating with WisDOT on establishment of state and MPO targets for the new federal measures. MPO staff has developed new tools to measure multi-modal accessibility to jobs, services, and other destinations, including a project in 2018 to use the bicycle level of traffic stress methodology to identify and analyze key gaps in the region s low stress bikeway network and conduct bike accessibility analysis using this network. In 2019 the MPO will intends to complete work on a pedestrian facility geodatabase and network to allow pedestrian accessibility analyses. The MPO is finishing a consultant led project in 2018 to develop a multi-year strategic work plan to improve its travel model and other planning analysis tools and the data to support them. This will allow better measurement of the impacts of projects and plans to support performance based planning and programming. MPO also staff assisted city of Madison staff with a project to develop the Urban Footprint scenario planning tool, which generates data on impacts of scenarios covering numerous categories including transportation, health, equity, and the environment. A household travel mail survey was completed to supplement the National Household Travel Survey, which together will provide a rich set of baseline data for performance monitoring. Further tabulation and analysis of that data will continue in Assistance is also being provided to Metro with data processing for transit related performance measures. Finally, the MPO is working to complete an intersection safety study to identify problem intersections for further analysis of potential countermeasures and in 2019 will work with the Dane County Traffic Safety Commission on a roadway safety plan that covers both engineering and other strategies to improve safety. Along with a pedestrian/bicycle safety study in 2018, these efforts will help inform safety project investments and provide useful data for prioritizing safety project investments and monitoring progress in achieving the federal safety measures. The MPO is coordinating closely with WisDOT and Metro Transit on all of the major planning efforts, including WisDOT corridor studies, implementation of the Congestion Management Process (CMP) and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Strategic Plan, BRT planning work, and its strategic work plan to improve the travel model and other planning analysis tools. The MPO is working with the Capital Area Regional Planning Commission (CARPC) to coordinate regional land use and 8 MATPB Unified Planning Work Program

14 transportation planning with the MPO assisting in CARPC s A Greater Madison Vision effort to develop a regional vision and growth strategy. The MPO is working to identify and address access to essential services through its new analysis tools, and implementation of its Strategic Work Plan to improve these tools and the data to support them. The improved model and other tools will be used to perform analyses for the Regional Transportation Plan and will be used for BRT study, TIP project selection, and other planning efforts. The ladders of opportunity issue will also be addressed through coordinated land use transportation planning with the city of Madison and CARPC to target high transit and bicycle accessibility areas/corridors for affordable housing and new services. Other emphasis areas include: Incorporating livability and public health considerations into the transportation planning and programming process; Increasing efforts to raise the visibility of the MPO and involve more citizens in the regional transportation planning process, including in particular minority, low-income, and other under-represented population groups; and Continuing to work with FHWA, FTA, and WisDOT to facilitate the process for TIP development, management of the program of projects, and project reporting. The UPWP identifies the planning work activities to advance the major areas of planning concern and planning priorities in this region. The level of effort noted in each of the planning program activities is dependent upon receiving the indicated level of funding. Changes in the amount and source of available funding will cause changes in the level of effort for planning program activities. 9

Products Person- Months Work program, progress reports, and periodic analysis papers Work Element 2200: Long-Range Multi-Modal System-Wide Transportation Planning Maintain and refine the adopted long-range Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), including sub-elements of the Objective plan such as the Bicycle Transportation Plan, as part of the continuing, comprehensive multi-modal transportation planning process in accord with federal rules. An integrated Dane County Land Use and Transportation Plan (Vision 2020) was completed and adopted by the Regional Planning Commission (RPC), the former MPO, in The plan was reaffirmed by the new MPO in A comprehensive Bicycle Transportation Plan for the Madison Urban Area & Dane County was completed and adopted as a supplement to the RTP in The 2000 bicycle plan included for the first time a comprehensive listing and mapping of on-street bicycle facility needs and proposed off-street facilities. A major update of the long-range Regional Transportation Plan was completed in 2006 using updated land use and socioeconomic forecast data to the year 2030 and a new, improved, and re-calibrated regional travel model. Previous Work In May 2007 the governor again redesignated the MPO as the Madison Area Transportation Planning Board (MATPB), which adopted the RTP 2030 in August 2007 with no changes. The MATPB adopted a supplement to the RTP 2030 in November 2007 to reflect the new requirements of SAFETEA-LU. The plan was amended again in September 2009 to include roadway and pedestrian/bicycle improvements to the Verona Road/West Beltline interchange area and the Verona Road/Summit intersection. A 5-year minor update of the RTP was completed in 2012, called the 2035 Regional Transportation Plan Update: Madison Metropolitan Area & Dane County. The update included development of new 2035 socioeconomic data forecasts, new traffic forecasts, updated project and policy recommendations, and an updated financial analysis. Both the 2030 RTP and 2035 RTP update included updates to the bikeway component of the regional bicycle transportation plan. Staff created Census TAZs for CTPP data tabulation and a revised set of travel model TAZs with modified centroid connectors. MPO then staff supported WisDOT consultants work in creating a new, calibrated time-of-day travel model and MPO staff created a draft set of TAZ level growth forecasts for the Year 2050 to be used for WisDOT s major corridor studies. WisDOT and the MPO oversaw additional model work to better calibrate the auto speeds and improve the transit/mode choice components of the model in MATPB Unified Planning Work Program

22 Following release of new updated county population and household forecasts by the state and completion of urban service area population and employment forecasts by the Capital Area RPC, MPO staff worked with local planning staff to create a revised final draft set of TAZ level year 2050 growth forecasts based on local plans. Additional revisions were made to the forecasts in 2016 to reflect local planning work, including Madison s Capital East District planning. An update to the comprehensive Bicycle Transportation Plan for the Madison Metropolitan Area & Dane County was completed in 2015 (Figure 2). The plan includes an existing and planned bikeway functional classification (route) system, planned off-street facilities including a set of regional priority paths, map of on-street facility needs, and non-facility related recommendations. The bicycle plan is a supplement to the RTP.

Accounting for the MPO is accomplished through the City of Madison s centralized accounting system (MUNIS) in the following steps: (1) direct staff charge to work elements based on their salaries and benefits; (2) an additive leave rate is applied to the direct salary costs; (3) indirect costs are applied to the work elements based on the percentage of total cost budgeted for each work element; (4) indirect staff costs, including salaries, benefits, and leave costs when taken, are also applied to the work elements based on the percentage of total cost budgeted for each work element; and (5) total work element expenditures are allocated to the funding sources based on actual expenditures. 36 MATPB Unified Planning Work Program

42 The features of the City of Madison s computer accounting system aggregate actual costs incurred by work element shown in the Unified Planning Work Program and include the following: 1) A leave additive rate is maintained for all direct staff based upon holiday time taken, accrued vacation time earned, and sick time used. This is estimated for 2019 to be 15.56% of Regular Direct salary costs. Paid Holiday $29,749 Earned Vacation $31,207 Earned Sick Leave $28,435 $89,390 $574,393 = 15.56% of direct salary costs $89,390 $900,201 = 9.93% of total direct and indirect costs 2) Fringe benefits are calculated for each employee and added up to calculate an average rate for all employees, which is %. Indirect costs incurred are computed and compared to total direct costs to determine indirect cost rate. The computer system then computes in the following manner by work element: Regular Direct Salary Cost x (1 + Leave Additive Rate) = Direct Salary Regular Salary x Fringe Benefit Rate = Benefit Costs Direct Salary + Benefit Cost = Total Direct Cost Total Direct Cost x Indirect Rate = Indirect Cost Total Direct Cost (Direct Salary + Benefit Cost) + Indirect Cost = Total Direct and Indirect Costs Total Direct and Indirect Costs + Other Costs = Total Billable Cost The billable cost is billed to funding agencies in accord with approved contracts. Costs are audited at the end of the year as part of the CPA audit with adjustments made to 2019 billings, if needed. 37

44 Review of Cost Shares and Benefits to Funding Agencies The Madison Area Transportation Planning Board (MATPB) An MPO receives federal funding from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), state funding from WisDOT, and local funding from the City of Madison, Dane County, and other participating local units of government within the metropolitan planning area. The funding is used to support the diversity of transportation planning program activities included as part of this Unified Planning Work Program. In general, funds for transportation planning activities are split between FHWA and FTA with WisDOT and local matching funds, with variations due to their funding priorities and due to additional special funds. For example, Dane County and the Capital Area Regional Planning Commission (CARPC) provide funding to support planning activities outside the metropolitan planning area. STBG (formerly STP)-Urban funds are used to support the MPO s Rideshare Etc. Program. With respect to the proposed 2019 program of transportation planning activities, the following comments summarize the funding shares and allocation of costs, and note benefits to be received for each of the Work Elements. Work Elements 2100, 2200, and 2300 cover long-range multi-modal system-wide transportation planning activities, including maintaining the Regional Transportation Plan and sub-elements such as the Bicycle Transportation Plan with data collection, monitoring, and analysis, growth and associated travel forecasting, and functions required to manage the work program and provide staffing support and service to the public. These activities are funded with FHWA and FTA Section 5303 Planning funds with WisDOT and local matching funds. Work Element 2400 covers Transportation System Management (TSM) planning to improve system efficiency, effectiveness, and safety with emphasis on technology and lower cost strategies such as intersection improvements. This includes maintenance of the MPO s Congestion Management Process. These activities are also funded with FHWA and FTA Planning funds with WisDOT and local matching funds. Work Element 2500 covers short-range transit and specialized transportation planning activities. This includes working with Metro Transit and other transit providers to develop and implement the 5-year Transit Development Plan for the urban area and working with Metro and Dane County Human Services to develop and implement the Coordinated Public Transit Human Services Transportation Plan. Activities are funded with FTA Section 5303 Planning funds, plus local matching funds and a small amount of Dane County funding for specialized transportation planning and coordination. Work Element 2600 is for project programming through the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and is funded with FHWA and FTA Planning funds with WisDOT and local matching funds. Work Element 2700 is for roadway and transit corridor and special area studies. This includes assistance with WisDOT roadway corridor studies, local corridor or area studies, and major transit corridor studies such as for Bus Rapid Transit. This is funded with FHWA and FTA Planning funds with WisDOT and local matching funds. Work Element 2800, Ridesharing/TDM, supports rideshare promotion and general TDM activities promoting alternative transportation, and is funded 80% by STBG (formerly STP)-Urban funds, plus local matching funds. 1-1

52 Madison Area Transportation Planning and Programming Structure and History Area wide transportation planning in the Madison metropolitan area has been officially in progress since 1961 under the title Madison Area Transportation Study (MATS). In 1970, the Madison Area Transportation Plan was approved by each of the participating governmental units, and the Transportation Study entered the continuing phase and reorganized to be part of the Dane County Regional Planning Commission (DCRPC), under the title of the Dane County Transportation Study (DCTS). In November 1999, following a reorganization of the DCRPC, the Governor redesignated the Metropolitan Planning Organization for the Madison urbanized area by agreement with the City of Madison. The redesignation established a new Madison Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) to conduct transportation planning and programming for the metropolitan area, transferring this function from the DCRPC to this newly created entity. The Madison Area MPO went through another redesignation in May 2007 to bring the structure and membership into compliance with Federal regulations. The name of the MPO was changed to the Madison Area Transportation Planning Board (MATPB). Madison metropolitan area transportation planning and programming now has an organizational structure that provides for the MATPB to serve as the policy body (see Structure Chart). The MPO Technical Coordinating Committee (TCC) and Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) advise the MATPB on transportation planning issues. The ITS Committee serves as a subcommittee to the TCC. Various other ad hoc project or study committees assist with particular transportation planning studies. The September 2018 memberships of the MATPB (MPO) and MPO TCC and CAC are included on pages 3-6 to 3-8. The overall management structure of the planning work program activities is that of a Transportation Planning Manager and Transportation Planning staff members, in carrying out the policy directions of the MATPB. Transportation planning staff is provided by the City of Madison, and located in the City s Planning Division within the Planning & Community & Economic Development Department (see Attachment 5). The necessary interagency and intergovernmental coordination of planning work program activities is coordinated by planning staff contacts with appropriate agencies and by the input of the MPO Technical Coordinating Committee. The management of the existing transportation system is vested with the governing bodies of each local unit of government within the metropolitan area, and WisDOT. Coordination efforts are achieved through the Madison Area Transportation Planning and Programming organizational structure, through the annually prepared Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), and other means. Coordination in the City of Madison is through its three transportation commissions, which have responsibility for roadways, transit, parking, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, traffic engineering activities, and long-range transportation planning. Coordination in the 3 rd /4 th class cities within the metropolitan planning area is by their appropriate city committees, such as planning commissions, public works committees, and transportation committees. Coordination within the governmental structure of Dane County is through the County Public Works and Transportation Committee, which in turn coordinates many of the town government transportation improvements. The transportation planning agreement to this Unified Planning Work Program, updated to reflect current federal transportation planning regulations, is available on the MPO s website at: It is a three-party Cooperative Agreement for Continuing Transportation Planning between WisDOT, the Madison Area Transportation Planning Board, and the City of Madison (as the transit operator) as executed on July 11,
