APPENDIX-B FY 2017 2020 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) Policy 1. Minimum Eligibility Requirements At a minimum, projects submitted to the Memphis MPO must be in the Memphis Urban Area s Livability 2040 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and can include projects eligible for Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STBG) funding that supports the goals and objectives of the RTP. Additionally, the lead agency must work through their internal process to secure the 20% matching funds needed. 2. Commitment to Implement Project and Project Delays The submission and approval of a request using STBG funds shall constitute a commitment to complete the project in a timely manner as described in the application form by the project s lead agency. Any part of the project scope credited in awarding evaluation points becomes a permanent part of the project scope and must be implemented. To ensure that all allocated funds made available to the Memphis MPO are used, all lead agencies with funding requests will work with appropriate DOTs and the Memphis MPO to ensure that all State and federal requirements are met, and that the project follows the programming schedule in the TIP. The Memphis MPO will program STBG funds for any transportation projects over a 4 year period within the TIP. Each phase of a project should be obligated by the end of the federal fiscal year (September 30) designated in the TIP. A delay is defined as a situation where a project s federal funding is not obligated in the fiscal year identified in the TIP. After the first delay, the MPO staff will report to the Engineering and Technical Committee (ETC) and the Transportation Policy Board (TPB), the projects using programmed STBG funds, that have not received obligation and the reason for the delay. A second delay will occur 8 weeks prior to the MPO s 2nd Quarter ETC meeting. At this time MPO Staff will begin the amendment process to remove the subsequent phases from the TIP at the 2nd Quarter ETC and TPB meeting s (see example below). After the second delay only the first phase of work will remain in the TIP and all other phases will be removed from the TIP. Project delays will be reviewed to determine if it is a result of the project approval process through the State DOTs and special consideration will be given in such cases. Project delays will be considered as part of the development of future TIP cycles and points will be awarded to projects that have received timely obligation. For projects that have only one phase identified in the TIP, the second delay will be documented and taken into consideration when programming funds for future TIP cycles. Projects using Transportation Alternatives (TA) funds will also be tracked and any project delays will be reported to the ETC and TPB. For Tennessee projects, the obligation deadline for TA funds is July 1st, approximately 2 years and 9 months after the last day of the fiscal year for which the funds were authorized. The lead agency is required to contact the MPO staff, a minimum of 6 months prior to the potential expiration date of any TA funds for a project. The MPO staff, at this time, will determine if there is another project in the TIP that is both ready for obligation and meets the eligibility criteria for the TA funds. In this case the funding source for the projects, if agreed upon by MPO staff, TDOT, and the lead agencies, could be swapped. For Mississippi projects, obligation of TA funds will be tracked as part of the regularly scheduled TIP project status meetings. For both Tennessee and Mississippi, the lead agency should keep the MPO staff informed of any delays in the obligation of TA funds. Please be aware if any project does not get started in a 10 year time period, then the lead agency will be responsible for reimbursing the federal funds as required under Section 102(b) of Title 23, United States Code (U.S.C.). The Memphis MPO staff will track projects quarterly and record the funds that are obligated on the project TIP pages. Example: A project is included in the FY 2017-20 TIP with funding designated for PE-D for FY 2017 and ROW for FY 2019. If the funds for the PE-D phase are not obligated by September 30, 2017 then the project will receive its first delay and MPO staff will report to the ETC and TPB the reason for the delay. If the funds for PE-D are not obligated, eight weeks prior to the MPO s 2nd Quarter ETC meeting, then the PE -D phase would stay in the TIP but the future phase for ROW would be removed and the funds would be returned to the MPO s total available balance.

APPENDIX C APPENDIX B APPENDIX A TABLE OF CONTENTS APPENDIX H APPENDIX G APPENDIX F APPENDIX E APPENDIX D 3. Carryover Projects Projects carried over to future TIPs must be re-submitted for inclusion. Carry-over projects will be given priority within the project application and ranking process if the project has shown timely obligation of the phases included within the previous TIP. 4. Overmatching Funds Projects seeking additional points by providing more than the required 20% match will be required to provide documentation, such as a signed letter from the Mayor, CIP page, or resolution from local legislative board. The federal percentage and the corresponding funds for the project will be changed to reflect the overmatching provided by the applicant. 5. Cost Increases / Cost Over-runs In cases where a project, that is awarded MPO-managed federal grant funds, does not have sufficient funding to fulfill the scope of the project as originally programmed, the project sponsor may be granted the flexibility to shift funding across phases and/or years (pending the availability of funding) to cover increased cost estimates for the affected phases. At the discretion of the MPO staff, STBG funds if available may be designated to cover the cost over-run of a project and the MPO s ETC and TPB will be notified. Contractual agreements between the State DOTs and the project sponsor do not bind the MPO to pay for cost over-runs with MPO managed federal grant funds. 6. Construction Set-Aside To facilitate the timely delivery of projects and to prevent the lapse of obligation authority provided by Congress to the State and MPO, the construction phase of road projects using STBG funds will not be formally programmed until the project is far enough along in the right-ofway (ROW) phase to more accurately estimate the construction costs while maintaining the targeted timeline for construction. The Construction Set-Aside is a fiscally constrained project list included in the TIP with STBG funds for construction. In order to access the funds for a project on the Construction Set-Aside list, the lead agency will submit a preliminary cost estimate to the MPO staff requesting the funds be programmed to the project and therefore initiating the TIP amendment process. At this time, documentation such as a signed letter from the Mayor, CIP page, or resolution from the local legislative board, will be required to confirm matching funds. The preliminary cost estimate will be submitted, during the ROW phase, approximately six (6) months from when the project will go to bid for construction. Construction funding will be programmed on projects from the Construction Set-Aside list on a first-come, first-serve basis. Should the preliminary cost estimate submitted during the ROW phase exceed the original estimate, the lead agency must find an alternative source of revenue or make a special request to the Engineering and Technical Committee (ETC) and the Transportation Policy Board (TPB) for additional funding if available. The MPO meeting calendar provides the opportunity for TIP amendments on a quarterly basis so it is important to keep the MPO staff updated on the project status to ensure that adequate time is given to program construction funds to the project. The lead agency will have twelve (12) months to obligate the construction funds once the TIP amendment request has been made to the MPO to add construction funds for the project. Any delay in obligation, past the twelve (12) month period, will be reviewed to determine the reason for delay, before the funds are returned to the Construction Set-Aside. Special consideration will be given in the cases where the delay is a result of the project approval process through the State DOTs. An illustrative project list for construction, which is not fiscally constrained, will also be included in the TIP. If a project on the illustrative project list meets the conditions outlined under this section, showing readiness to go to construction, then an amendment could be made to replace a project on the Construction Set-Aside list with the one on the illustrative list that is ready to go to construction. Before construction funds can be obligated, the TIP must be amended to add the funds to the project. The TIP amendment approval process takes approximately four (4) months to complete and is done on a quarterly basis, therefore keeping the MPO staff updated on the project status is key to ensuring that the construction funds are programmed in a timely manner. Please see the following page for additional information on the Construction Set-Aside approach.

APPENDIX C APPENDIX B APPENDIX A TABLE OF CONTENTS APPENDIX H APPENDIX G APPENDIX F APPENDIX E APPENDIX D Appendix C Funding Provisions in the FAST Act On December 4, 2015, President Obama signed into law Public Law 114-94, the Fixing America s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act). The FAST Act funds surface transportation programs including, but not limited to, Federal-aid highways at over $305 billion for fiscal years (FY) 2016 through 2020. It is the first long-term surface transportation authorization enacted in a decade that provides long-term funding certainty for surface transportation. This summary reviews the policies and programs of the FAST Act administered by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21), enacted in 2012, included provisions to make the Federal surface transportation more streamlined, performance-based, and multimodal, and to address challenges facing the U.S. transportation system, including improving safety, maintaining infrastructure condition, reducing traffic congestion, improving efficiency of the system and freight movement, protecting the environment, and reducing delays in project delivery. The FAST Act builds on the changes made by MAP-21. Setting the course for transportation investment in highways, the FAST Act Improves mobility on America s highways The FAST Act establishes and funds new programs to support critical transportation projects to ease congestion and facilitate the movement of freight on the Interstate System and other major roads. Examples include developing a new National Multimodal Freight Policy, apportioning funding through a new National Highway Freight Program, and authorizing a new discretionary grant program for Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects (FASTLANE Grants). Creates jobs and supports economic growth The FAST Act authorizes $226.3 billion in Federal funding for FY 2016 through 2020 for road, bridge, bicycling, and walking improvements. In addition, the FAST Act includes a number of provisions designed to improve freight movement in support of national goals. Accelerates project delivery and promotes innovation Building on the reforms of MAP-21 and FHWA s Every Day Counts initiative, the FAST Act incorporates changes aimed at ensuring the timely delivery of transportation projects. These changes will improve innovation and efficiency in the development of projects, through the planning and environmental review process, to project delivery.. Following are brief descriptions of many of the FAST Act highway provisions. The applicable section of the Act is noted in brackets. INVESTMENT Authorizations [1101] The FAST Act authorizes $226.3 billion in budget authority for Federal-aid highway programs over five years (FY 2016 through FY 2020). This includes $225.2 billion in contract authority, starting at $43.1 billion for FY 2016 and growing about two percent each year to $47.1 billion in FY 2020. The Act also authorizes another $1.1 billion (over the five years) that is subject to appropriation. Administrative Expenses [1104] The FAST Act provides a separate authorization of $453 million for FY 2016, increasing about two percent each year to $480.8 million for FY 2020, for FHWA administrative expenses associated with the Federal-aid highway program and Appalachian Regional Commission administration of the Appalachian Development Highway System (ADHS). Of this amount, $24 million is designated for other purposes each year, as follows: On-the-job training supportive services ($10 million annually) Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) supportive services ($10 million annually) Highway use tax evasion projects ($4 million annually) [1110] Obligation Limitation [1102] The FAST Act establishes an obligation limitation of $42.361 billion for FY 2016, increasing each fiscal year up to $46.365 billion for FY 2020, for the purpose of limiting annual highway spending. Distribution of the limitation under the FAST Act is similar to under MAP-21. The Act also continues the requirement to annually recover unused obligation limitation and distribute it as formula limitation to States that can use it before the end of the fiscal year. Funding for the following programs is exempt from the limitation: Emergency Relief (ER) Demonstration projects from the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) and earlier authorization acts (specified) Minimum Allocation (prior to the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21)) $639 million per year of TEA-21 Minimum Guarantee $639 million per year of Equity Bonus under the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient 23 Memphis MPO FY 2017-20 Transportation Improvement Program
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) and its extension acts $639 million per year of National Highway Performance Program funds (MAP-21 and FAST Act) Formulas [1104] The FAST Act maintains the majority of MAP-21 s process for apportioning Federal-aid highway funds but makes a few modifications. The apportionment process under the FAST Act is as follows: Step one: Authorize lump sum for apportioned programs. As under MAP-21, the FAST Act authorizes a single amount for each year for all the apportioned highway programs combined. This includes the National Highway Performance Program (NHPP), the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STBG, formerly Surface Transportation Program), Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) (including Railway-Highway Crossings), Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ), and Metropolitan Planning, plus a new National Highway Freight Program (NHFP). Step two: Reserve funds for supplemental NHPP and STBG. Of the lump sum apportionment, the FAST Act reserves specified supplemental amounts for NHPP (only in FY 2019 and FY 2020) and STBG (each of FY 2016-2020). The remainder is referred to as the base apportionment. Step three: Calculate each State s share of each of these categories. FHWA calculates an initial amount for each State for each of these three categories (base apportionment, plus supplemental NHPP and supplemental STBG, as appropriate). The calculation is based on the State s share of apportionments in FY 2015. Step four: Adjust initial amounts if necessary to ensure 95 cents on the dollar. As necessary, FHWA adjusts each State s initial amounts to ensure that no State receives cumulatively across the three categories less than 95 cents of every dollar it contributed to the Highway Account of the Highway Trust Fund (HTF). Step five: For each State, divide these amounts among apportioned programs. FHWA then divides the State s base apportionment plus any supplemental NHPP and/or STBG funds between the various apportioned programs, based on procedures specified in statute. To enhance flexibility, a State may transfer up to 50 percent of any apportionment to another formula program. However, no transfers are permitted of Metropolitan Planning funds, funds suballocated to areas based on population (under either STBG or Transportation Alternatives), or funds set aside for the Recreational Trails Program. TIFIA [2001] The Transportation Infrastructure Financing and Innovation Act (TIFIA) program provides Federal credit assistance to eligible surface transportation projects. The FAST Act reduces TIFIA funding as compared to MAP-21 levels, authorizing approximately $1.44 billion over five years starting with $275 million in FY 2016 to pay the subsidy cost (similar to a commercial bank s loan reserve requirement) of supporting Federal credit. The FAST Act also calls for a number of program reforms, including: new eligibilities for public infrastructure associated with transit-oriented development, a tighter definition of rural projects, the elimination of the MAP-21 requirement to redistribute uncommitted TIFIA funds, and authority for States to use NHPP and STBG funds to support subsidy and administrative costs of TIFIA credit assistance for projects eligible under those programs. Tolling and High-Occupancy Vehicles [1411] The FAST Act supports and follows-up on the larger changes MAP-21 made to the statutory provisions that govern tolling on highways constructed or improved with Federal funds. Changes include provisions requiring the same treatment of over-the-road buses and public transportation vehicles on certain toll facilities. The FAST Act requires a public authority that operates a high-occupancy toll (HOT) or low emission and energy-efficient vehicle toll lane that is located on the Interstate System and within a metropolitan planning area to consult with the metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for the area regarding the placement and amount of tolls on the HOT lane. Finally, the FAST Act allows a waiver of sanctions for degraded high- occupancy vehicle operation under certain conditions. In addition, the FAST Act modifies some requirements of the Interstate System Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Pilot Program, which allows tolling an existing Interstate highway to finance needed reconstruction or rehabilitation. Specifically, it sets new time limits for an applicant to move from a provisionally-approved application to a complete application that fully satisfies the program s eligibility and selection criteria, complete the environmental review and permitting process under the National Environmental Policy Act, and execute a toll agreement with the Secretary. States for which FHWA had provisionally approved an application prior to enactment of the FAST Act have a one-year time limit, while provisional approvals subsequent to enactment of the FAST Act will have a three-year time limit. The FAST Act also gives FHWA the authority to extend either of these limits by an additional year if certain conditions in the statute are met.

APPENDIX C APPENDIX B APPENDIX A TABLE OF CONTENTS APPENDIX H APPENDIX G APPENDIX F APPENDIX E APPENDIX D Demonstration Set Aside of the STP (DEMO) This program provides special funding for certain projects. Enhancement Activity Set Aside of the STP (ENH) This program provides funding for pedestrian and bicycle facilities; pedestrian and bicycle safety and educational activities; acquisition of scenic easements and scenic or historic sites; scenic or historic highway programs; landscaping and other scenic beautification activities; historic preservation; rehabilitation of historic transportation buildings, structures, or facilities; preservation of abandoned railway corridors; control and removal of outdoor advertising; archaeological planning and research; environmental mitigation to address water pollution due to highway runoff or reduce vehicle-caused wildlife mortality while maintaining habitat connectivity; establishment of transportation museums. Under the Tennessee Roadscapes grant program, types of work will include landscaping, irrigation, benches, trash cans, paths, and signage. This funding program was eliminated under MAP-21. All projects previously authorized under the ENH Program and carry-over funds will still be administered under previous rules and regulations of the ENH Program. Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) This is a new program created under MAP-21 and continued under the FAST Act. It provides funds for projects on Federal Lands Access Transportation Facilities that are located on, adjacent to, or that provide access to Federal lands. A Federal Lands access transportation facility is defined as a public highway, road, bridge, trail, or transit system that is located on, adjacent to, or provides access to Federal lands for which title or maintenance responsibility is vested in a State, county, town, township, tribal, municipal, or local government. Funds are distributed by formula among States that have Federal Lands managed by the National Park Service, the U.S. Forest Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division is responsible for administering the FLAP and serving the transportation engineering needs of these Federal Land Management agencies in Tennessee. Eligible Activities include but are not limited to: Transportation planning, research, engineering, preventive maintenance, rehabilitation, restoration, construction, and reconstruction of Federal Lands located on or adjacent to, or that: provide access to a Federal land (adjacent vehicular parking areas; acquisition of necessary scenic easements and scenic or historic sites; provisions for pedestrians and bicycles; environmental mitigation in or adjacent to Federal land to improve public safety and reduce vehicle-caused wildlife mortality while maintaining habitat connectivity; construction and reconstruction of roadside rest areas, including sanitary and water facilities); Operation and maintenance of transit facilities. High Priority Projects (HPP and HPP-L) This program provides designated funding to the state (HPP) and Local Agencies (HPP-L) for specific projects identified by Congress. Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) The FAST Act continues the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) to achieve a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads, including non-state-owned public roads and roads on tribal lands. The HSIP requires a data-driven, strategic approach to improving highway safety on all public roads that focuses on performance. The FAST Act continues the overarching requirement that HSIP funds be used for safety projects that are consistent with the State s Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) and that correct or improve a hazardous road location or feature or address a highway safety problem. Under MAP-21, the HSIP statute listed a range of eligible HSIP projects. However, the list was non-exhaustive, and a State could use HSIP funds on any safety project (infrastructure-related or non-infrastructure) that met the overarching requirement. In contrast, the FAST Act limits HSIP eligibility to only those listed in statute most of which are infrastructure-safety related. Interstate Maintenance (IM) This program provides funding to rehabilitate, restore, and resurface the Interstate System. Reconstruction is also eligible if it does not add capacity, and High-Occupancy-Vehicle (HOV) lanes can be added. This funding program was eliminated under MAP-21. All projects previously authorized under the IM Program and carry-over funds will still be administered under previous rules and regulations of the IM Program. National Highway Performance Program (NHPP) The FAST Act continues the NHPP, which provides support for the condition and performance of the National Highway System (NHS), for the construction of new facilities on the NHS, and to ensure that investments of Federal-aid funds in highway construction are directed to support progress toward the achievement of performance targets established in a State's asset management plan for the NHS. NHPP projects must be on an eligible facility and support progress toward achievement of national performance goals for improving infrastructure condition, safety, mobility, or freight movement on the NHS, and be consistent with Metropolitan and Statewide planning requirements. Eligible activities include: Construction, reconstruction, resurfacing, restoration, rehabilitation, preservation, or operational improvements of NHS segments. Construction, replacement (including replacement with fill material), rehabilitation, preservation, and protection ( including scour countermeasures, seismic retrofits, impact protection measures, security countermeasures, and pro tection against extreme events) of NHS bridges and tunnels. 25 Memphis MPO FY 2017-20 Transportation Improvement Program
Bridge and tunnel inspection and evaluation on the NHS and inspection and evaluation of other NHS highway infra structure assets. Training of bridge and tunnel inspectors. Construction, rehabilitation, or replacement of existing ferry boats and facilities, including approaches that connect road segments of the NHS. Construction, reconstruction, resurfacing, restoration, rehabilitation, and preservation of, and operational improve ments for, a Federal-aid highway not on the NHS, and construction of a transit project eligible for assistance under chapter 53 of title 49, if the project is in the same corridor and in proximity to a fully access-controlled NHS route, if the improvement is more cost-effective (as determined by a benefit-cost analysis) than an NHS improvement, and will reduce delays or produce travel time savings on the NHS route and improve regional traffic flow. Bicycle transportation and pedestrian walkways. Highway safety improvements on the NHS. Capital and operating costs for traffic and traveler information, monitoring, management, and control facilities and programs. Development and implementation of a State Asset Management Plan for the NHS including data collection, maintenance and integration, software costs, and equipment costs. Infrastructure-based ITS capital improvements. Environmental restoration and pollution abatement. Control of noxious weeds and establishment of native species. Environmental mitigation related to NHPP projects. Construction of publicly owned intra-city or intercity bus terminals servicing the NHS. Workforce development, training, and education activities are also an eligible use of NHPP funds. Installation of vehicle-to-infrastructure communication equipment. Reconstruction, resurfacing, restoration, rehabilitation, or preservation of a bridge on a non-nhs Federal-aid highway (if Interstate System and NHS Bridge Condition provision requirements are satisfied). A project to reduce the risk of failure of critical NHS infrastructure (defined to mean a facility, the incapacity or failure of which would have a debilitating impact in certain specified areas). At a State's request, the U.S. DOT may use the State's STBG funding to pay the subsidy and administrative costs for TIFIA credit assistance for an eligible NHPP project or group of projects. National Highway System (NHS) This Program provides funding for major roads including the Interstate System, a large percentage of urban and rural principal arterials, the Strategic Defense Highway Network (STRAHNET), and strategic highway connectors. This funding program was eliminated under MAP-21. All projects previously authorized under the NHS Program and carry-over funds will still be administered under previous rules and regulations of the NHS Program. Safe Routes to School (SRTS) This program provides funding for empowering communities to make walking and bicycling to school a safe and routine activity. This funding program was eliminated under MAP-21. All projects previously authorized under the SRTS Program and carry-over funds will still be administered under previous rules and regulations of the SRTS Program.

APPENDIX C APPENDIX B APPENDIX A TABLE OF CONTENTS APPENDIX H APPENDIX G APPENDIX F APPENDIX E APPENDIX D HIGHWAY TRUST FUND Operation of the Highway Trust Fund [31101 and 31102] The Highway Trust Fund is the source of funding for most of the programs in the Act. The HTF is comprised of the Highway Account, which funds highway and intermodal programs, and the Mass Transit Account. Federal motor fuel taxes are the major source of income into the HTF. However, the FAST Act also transfers into the HTF additional funds to keep the Fund solvent through the end of FY 2020. These include transfers from the General Fund and from the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund (a separate trust fund set up for certain environmental cleanup purposes, which is financed with a small portion of motor fuel taxes). The FAST Act includes other provisions and revenue raisers to offset the cost of the transfers made to the HTF. However, reform of the way highway programs are funded remains a challenge for the future. The FAST Act extends through September 30, 2023, the heavy vehicle use tax. It also extends through September 30, 2022 the imposition of the other highway-user taxes (generally at the rates that were in place when the legislation was enacted); provisions for full or partial exemption from highway user taxes; and provision for deposit of almost all of the highway user taxes into the HTF. Federal law regulates not only the imposition of the taxes, but also their deposit into and expenditure from the HTF. For the Highway Account, the FAST Act provides authority through September 30, 2020, to expend from the HTF for programs under the Act and previous authorization acts. Beginning on October 1, 2020, expenditures may be made only to liquidate obligations made prior to the September 30, 2020, deadline. Highway Tax Compliance [1110] Traditionally, the highway programs of the Federal government and most States depend on highway-user tax receipts as the principal source of funding. The FAST Act continues the Highway Use Tax Evasion program to reduce motor fuel tax evasion, funded at up to $4 million per year from FHWA administrative funds. Funds may be allocated to the Internal Revenue Service (for efforts including the development, operation, and maintenance of databases to support tax compliance) and the States at the discretion of the Secretary, except that $2 million per year must be used for intergovernmental enforcement efforts, including research and training. A State may also elect to use 0.25 percent of its STBG funding for fuel tax evasion activities. Finally, the FAST Act modifies annual reporting requirements for States and the Internal Revenue Service, requiring the submission of the reports to Congress (rather than just to FHWA). TRANSPORTATION PLANNING [1201 and 1202] MAP-21 made a number of reforms to the metropolitan and statewide transportation planning processes, including incorporating performance goals, measures, and targets into the process of identifying needed transportation improvements and project selection. The FAST Act includes provisions to support and enhance these reforms. Public involvement remains a hallmark of the planning process. The FAST Act continues requirements for a long-range plan and a short-term transportation improvement program (TIP), with the longrange statewide and metropolitan plans now required to include facilities that support intercity transportation, including intercity buses. The statewide and metropolitan long-range plans must describe the performance measures and targets that States and MPOs use in assessing system performance and progress in achieving the performance targets. Additionally, the FAST Act requires the planning process to consider projects/strategies to: improve the resilience and reliability of the transportation system, stormwater mitigation, and enhance travel and tourism. Finally, in an effort to engage all sectors and users of the transportation network, the FAST Act requires that the planning process include public ports and private transportation providers, and further encourages MPOs to consult during this process with officials of other types of planning activities, including tourism and natural disaster risk reduction. MAP-21 and the FAST Act also change criteria for MPO officials to provide transit provider representatives with equal authority and allow the representative to also serve as the representative of a local municipality. PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT A significant part of the reforms made by MAP-21 included transitioning to a performance-based program, including establishing national performance goals for Federal-aid highway programs. The FAST Act supports and continues this overall performance management approach, within which States invest resources in projects that collectively will make progress toward national goals. The Act also includes two new provisions related to performance management: If a State fails to meet (or make significant progress toward meeting) its freight performance targets within two years after establishment of the targets, then the State s next performance report must now include what actions it will take to achieve the targets. [1116] 27 Memphis MPO FY 2017-20 Transportation Improvement Program
The FAST Act shortens the timeframe for States and MPOs to make progress toward meeting performance targets under the NHPP and clarifies the significant progress timeline for the HSIP performance targets. [1406] ACCELERATING PROJECT DELIVERY Accelerating project delivery is a major theme of the FAST Act, with 18 separate provisions in the Highway title alone that are designed to increase innovation and improve efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability in the planning, environmental review, design, engineering, construction, and financing of transportation projects. The FAST Act s project delivery provisions fall within four general categories: Adding new flexibilities to increase efficiencies, such as exempting some common mid- century bridges from some environmental review, allowing at-risk bridges to be replaced without delays due to nesting swallows, and confirming that certain emergency reconstruction projects are eligible for emergency exemptions or expedited procedures under specific environmental laws. [1303, 1439, 1432] Refining existing authorities. Examples include a pilot program to allow certain States to use equally as stringent environmental laws and regulations instead of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and other related regulations for environmental review, and reducing requirements to encourage greater use of the collaborative Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) process. [1309, 1305] Adding new tools to help accelerate project delivery. These changes include requirements for a schedule and checklist as part of a project coordination plan and the addition of specific new timeframes for environmental notices and reviews. Transparency and public access are a focus in all of these changes, with additional requirements for online access and status updates of the NEPA process. [1304] Building on FHWA s existing activities to accelerate project delivery, including a requirement to continue the successful Every Day Counts at least every two years. The FAST Act also requires DOT to develop a programmatic agreement template a process already underway at FHWA before the passage of the FAST Act and establish an online public access website, similar to the existing permitting dashboard, to publish the status of NEPA and permitting for all projects requiring an environmental impact statement or environmental assessment. [1444, 1315, 1304] HIGHWAY FREIGHT-RELATED PROVISIONS National Highway Freight Program [1116] The FAST Act includes an estimated average of $1.2 billion per year for a new National Highway Freight Program, which is focused on improving the efficient movement of freight on the National Highway Freight Network (NHFN). Funds are distributed to States by formula for eligible activities, such as construction, operational improvements, freight planning, and performance measurement. Although the program is highway-focused, each State may use up to 10 percent of its NHFP funds for each fiscal year for public or private freight rail, water facilities (including ports), and intermodal facilities. Starting in FY 2018, a State must have a State Freight Plan (compliant with 49 U.S.C. 70202 and approved by DOT) in order to obligate NHFP funds. National Highway Freight Network [1116] The FAST Act requires FHWA to establish a National Highway Freight Network, to include the Primary Highway Freight System (PHFS), critical rural and urban freight corridors (as designated by the States, and in some cases, by MPOs), and the portions of the Interstate System not included in the PHFS. After the initial designation, FHWA must re-designate the PHFS every five years, with up to three percent growth each time. FASTLANE grants (Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects) [1105] In addition to the new formula freight program, the FAST Act also establishes a discretionary competitive grant program of $4.5 billion over five years to provide financial assistance to nationally and regionally significant highway, rail, port, and intermodal freight and highway projects. DOT refers to this program as FASTLANE grants (Fostering Advancements in Shipping and Transportation for the Long-term Achievement of National Efficiencies). Under the program, States, large MPOs, Tribes, localities, and Federal land management agencies may apply for grants for projects, which generally must have a total cost of at least $100 million. Each year, a minimum amount of funds must be used for rural projects (25 percent) and projects under the $100 million cost threshold (10 percent). MULTIMODAL FREIGHT PROVISIONS [8001] TABLE OF CONTENTS APPENDIX A APPENDIX B APPENDIX C APPENDIX E APPENDIX F APPENDIX G APPENDIX D APPENDIX H In addition to its highway-oriented freight provisions, the FAST Act also includes a number of provisions related to multimodal freight policy and planning. Examples include the following: National Multimodal Freight Policy. The FAST Act establishes a national multimodal freight policy of maintaining and improv- Memphis MPO FY 2017-20 Transportation Improvement Program 28
APPENDIX C APPENDIX B APPENDIX A TABLE OF CONTENTS APPENDIX H APPENDIX G APPENDIX F APPENDIX E APPENDIX D ing the condition and performance of the National Multimodal Freight Network. It also specifies goals associated with this national policy. National Freight Strategic Plan. The FAST Act requires DOT to develop, in consultation with a range of stakeholders, a national freight strategic plan, and to update this plan every five years thereafter. National Multimodal Freight Network. The FAST Act directs DOT to establish an interim National Multimodal Freight Network, to include the NHFN, freight rail systems of Class I railroads, the Great Lakes, the St. Lawrence Seaway, inland and intracoastal waterways, ports and airports that meet specified criteria, and other strategic freight assets. Following a public comment period, DOT must designate a National Multimodal Freight Network, and DOT must redesignate this network every five years thereafter, with input from a wide range of stakeholders. State Freight Advisory Committees. Both MAP-21 and the FAST Act require DOT to encourage each State to establish a State freight advisory committee, to consist of a representative cross-section of public and private freight stakeholders. State Freight Plans. To receive funding under the NHFP, the FAST Act requires each State to develop a State Freight Plan, which must comprehensively address the State s immediate and long-range freight planning activities and investments. OTHER PROGRAMS AND PROVISIONS National Highway Performance Program [1106] The FAST Act provides an estimated average of $23.3 billion per year for the NHPP, which will support the condition and performance of the National Highway System (NHS), enable the construction of new facilities on the NHS, and ensure that investments of Federal-aid funds in highway construction are directed to support progress toward achieving performance targets established in a State s asset management plan for the NHS. The FAST Act also makes the following changes to NHPP eligibilities: At a State s request, the Secretary now may use a State s NHPP apportionment to pay the subsidy and administrative costs for TIFIA credit assistance for an eligible project. It provides specific NHPP eligibility for vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication equipment. It allows States to use NHPP funds for reconstruction, resurfacing, restoration, rehabilitation, or preservation of a non- NHS bridge if the bridge is on a Federal-aid highway. Surface Transportation Block Grant Program [1109] The FAST Act converts the long-standing Surface Transportation Program into the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program, acknowledging that this program has the most flexible eligibilities among all Federal-aid highway programs and aligning the program s name with how FHWA has historically administered it. The FAST Act provides an estimated annual average of $11.7 billion for STBG, which States and localities may use for projects to preserve or improve conditions and performance on any Federal-aid highway, bridge projects on any public road, facilities for nonmotorized transportation, transit capital projects, and public bus terminals and facilities. The STBG program under the FAST Act continues all prior STP eligibilities and adds a few new ones. A State may now use STBG funds to create and operate a State office to help design, implement, and oversee public-private partnerships (P3) eligible to receive Federal highway or transit funding, and to pay a stipend to unsuccessful P3 bidders in certain circumstances. DOT may also, at a State s request, use the State s STBG funding to pay the subsidy and administrative costs for TIFIA credit assistance for an STBG-eligible project. Funding for Transportation Alternatives (TA) is set aside from the overall STBG funding amount. After accounting for this set-aside, FHWA distributes a percentage of a State s STBG funds based on population (suballocated), and the remaining funds are available for use anywhere in the State. The suballocated percentage starts at 51 percent in FY 2016, and then grows each year, to 55 percent in FY 2020. The FAST Act also continues to require FHWA to set aside a portion of a State s STBG funds (equal to 15 percent of the State s FY 2009 Highway Bridge Program apportionment) for bridges not on Federal-aid highways (off-system bridges), unless the Secretary determines that the State s needs are insufficient to justify this amount. Finally, it allows but does not require the Governor of a border State to designate up to five percent of the State s STBG funds for border infrastructure projects eligible under the SAFETEA-LU Coordinated Border Infrastructure Program. Funds so designated must be derived from the portion of a State s STBG apportionment available for use in any area of the State. Highway Safety Improvement Program [1113] Safety throughout all transportation programs remains DOT s number one priority. Consistent with this, the FAST Act continues the successful HSIP, providing estimated average annual funding of $2.6 billion and reserving a portion of this funding for the Railway-Highway Crossings Program. The Act also reserves $3.5 million per year from HSIP for work zone and guardrail safety training, Operation Lifesaver, and safety clearinghouses. 29 Memphis MPO FY 2017-20 Transportation Improvement Program
The FAST Act continues to require States to pursue under HSIP a data-driven, strategic, and performance-focused approach to improving highway safety on all public roads. The Act clarifies the range of eligible HSIP projects, limiting eligibility to activities listed in statute (most of which are infrastructure safety-related). It also adds several activities to the list, including V2I communication equipment and certain pedestrian safety improvements. As under MAP-21, States may not use HSIP funds to purchase, operate, or maintain an automated traffic enforcement system that captures an image of a vehicle, except in school zones. [1401] In order to improve data collection, MAP-21 required DOT to establish a new subset of the model inventory of roadway elements (MIRE) that are useful for the inventory of roadway safety, and to ensure that States adopted and used the subset. The FAST Act allows a State to opt out of collecting MIRE fundamental data elements for gravel or other unpaved roads. States must still collect crash data on these roads. If the State opts out, it may not use HSIP funds on projects on such roads unless or until it collects this data. Railway-Highway Crossings Program [1108] The FAST Act continues the Railway-Highway Crossings Program, providing funds for safety improvements to reduce the number of fatalities, injuries, and crashes at public railway-highway grade crossings. This funding continues as a set-aside from HSIP, which the FAST Act reserves at an average of $235 million per year. Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) Program [1114] The CMAQ program, continued in the FAST Act at an estimated average annual funding level of $2.4 billion, provides a funding source to State and local governments for transportation projects and programs to help meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act. Funding is available to reduce congestion and improve air quality for areas that do not meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for ozone, carbon monoxide, or particulate matter (nonattainment areas), as well as former nonattainment areas that are now in compliance (maintenance areas). States with no nonattainment or maintenance areas may use their CMAQ funds for any CMAQ- or STBG-eligible project. Under the FAST Act, a State with PM2.5 (fine particulate matter) nonattainment or maintenance areas must use a portion of its funds to address PM2.5 emissions in such areas. The FAST Act highlights diesel retrofits and port related equipment and vehicles as eligible projects to mitigate PM2.5. New exemptions from this PM2.5 priority set-aside are also included for certain circumstances outlined in the FAST Act. Highlighted CMAQ eligibilities include public transit, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, travel demand management strategies, alternative fuel vehicles, facilities serving electric or natural gas-fueled vehicles (except where this conflicts with prohibition on rest area commercialization) and a new explicit eligibility for V2I communication equipment. Transportation Alternatives [1109] The FAST Act eliminates the MAP-21 Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) and replaces it with a set-aside of STBG funding for transportation alternatives. These set-aside funds include all projects and activities that were previously eligible under TAP, encompassing a variety of smaller-scale transportation projects such as pedestrian and bicycle facilities, recreational trails, safe routes to school projects, community improvements such as historic preservation and vegetation management, and environmental mitigation related to stormwater and habitat connectivity. The FAST Act sets aside an average of $844 million per year for TA. Unless a State opts out, it must use a specified portion of its TA funds for recreational trails projects. Similar to MAP-21, after the set-aside for the Recreational Trails Program, the FAST Act requires FHWA to distribute 50 percent of TA funds to areas based on population (suballocated), with the remainder available for use anywhere in the State. States and MPOs for urbanized areas with more than 200,000 people will conduct a competitive application process for the use of TA funds; eligible applicants include tribal governments, local governments, transit agencies, school districts, and a new eligibility for nonprofit organizations responsible for local transportation safety programs. The Act also newly allows each urbanized area of this size to use up to half of its suballocated TA funds for any STBG-eligible purpose (but still subject to the TA-wide requirement for competitive selection of projects). Federal Lands and Tribal Transportation Programs [1117-1121, 1123] The FAST Act continues to acknowledge the importance of access to Federal and tribal lands. Recognizing the need for all public Federal and tribal transportation facilities to be treated under uniform policies similar to those that apply to Federal-aid highways and other public transportation facilities, the FAST Act continues a unified program for Federal lands transportation facilities, Federal lands access transportation facilities, and tribal transportation facilities. TABLE OF CONTENTS APPENDIX A APPENDIX B APPENDIX C APPENDIX E APPENDIX F APPENDIX G APPENDIX D APPENDIX H The Federal Lands Transportation Program (FLTP) provides an average of $355 million annually for projects that improve ac- Memphis MPO FY 2017-20 Transportation Improvement Program 30
APPENDIX C APPENDIX B APPENDIX A TABLE OF CONTENTS APPENDIX H APPENDIX G APPENDIX F APPENDIX E APPENDIX D cess within the Federal estate (such as national parks, forests, and recreation areas), on infrastructure owned by the Federal government. The FAST Act adds the Bureau of Land Management and other independent Federal land management agencies as FLTP partners. The program includes dedicated annual set-asides for the National Park Service ($284 million), the Fish and Wildlife Service ($30 million), and the Forest Service ($17 million), with additional partners competing for the remaining $24 million. The Federal Lands Access Program provides an average of $260 million annually for projects that improve access to Federal lands on infrastructure owned by States and local governments. Projects providing access to any Federal lands are eligible for this comprehensive program and funds are distributed by formula based on recreational visitation, Federal land area, Federal public road mileage, and the number of Federal public bridges. The FAST Act made no substantive changes to this program. The Tribal Transportation Program provides an average of $485 million annually for projects that improve access to and within Tribal lands. This program is generally continued in the same manner, but with a lower set-aside for Bureau of Indian Affairs and FHWA administration of program management and oversight (now 5 percent instead of 6 percent), and a higher setaside for tribal bridges (now 3 percent instead of 2 percent). Additionally, the FAST Act adds new annual reporting requirements for any entity carrying out a project under this program. The Tribal Self-Governance Program provides a new opportunity (without additional funding) for qualified tribes to take more direct control and have increased flexibility for the highway and transit funds that they receive from DOT. To participate, a tribe must show three fiscal years of demonstrated financial stability and capability in financial and program management. If this is met, the terms of the agreement will be specified in a multi-year compact between DOT and the tribe. Under an annual agreement, the tribe will plan, consolidate, and receive its full tribal share funding, tribal transit formula funding, and any discretionary/competitive grant funding that is administered by DOT. Using a negotiated rulemaking approach, DOT will establish a committee of representatives from various interest groups, including tribal governments, to negotiate the text of a proposed rule with the goal of reaching consensus on the rule. The FAST Act also authorizes a new Nationally Significant Federal Lands & Tribal Projects Program, with all funds subject to appropriation. If Congress appropriates this funding, the program will provide grants to construct, reconstruct, and rehabilitate nationallysignificant projects on Federal or tribal lands. To be eligible, a project must have a total cost of at least $25 million, with priority for projects costing $50 million or more. [1123] Emergency Relief [1107] The ER program assists Federal, State, tribal, and local governments with the expense of repairing serious damage to Federal-aid, tribal, and Federal Lands highways resulting from natural disasters or catastrophic failures. ER is funded by a permanent authorization of $100 million per year, so it did not require additional funding authorization under the FAST Act. However, the FAST Act does make two other changes to the program. First, it clarifies the eligibility of debris removal on facilities eligible under the Emergency Relief for Federally Owned Roads program. Second, it eliminates the prior ability of facilities under the Federal Lands Access Program to qualify for 100 percent Federal share under ER. Territorial and Puerto Rico Highway Program [1115] The FAST Act continues funding for the Territorial Highway program ($42 million annually) and the Puerto Rico Highway program ($158 million annually). Construction of Ferry Boats and Ferry Terminal Facilities [1112] Distributed by formula, this program provides $80 million annually to construct ferry boats and ferry terminal facilities. The FAST Act modifies the formula, now giving more weight to the number of ferry passengers. It also requires FHWA to withdraw unobligated program funds after four years and distribute them to other eligible recipients. Design Guidelines [1404, 1442] The FAST Act enhances design flexibility while promoting safety. Specifically, the Act authorizes alternative design guidelines to better accommodate pedestrian and bicyclists (amendments to 23 U.S.C. 109), and also directs DOT to identify best practices to provide safe and adequate accommodation of all users of the surface transportation network in all phases of project planning, development, and operation. RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TECHNOLOGY, AND EDUCATION The FAST Act supports the changes implemented in MAP-21 for a nationally-coordinated research and technology program that addresses fundamental, long-term highway research needs, significant research gaps, emerging issues with national implications, and 31 Memphis MPO FY 2017-20 Transportation Improvement Program
research related to policy and planning. The Secretary provides leadership for the national coordination of research and technology transfer activities, conducting and coordinating research projects, and partnering with State highway agencies and other stakeholders. All research activities are to include a component of performance measurement and evaluation, should be outcome- based, and must be consistent with the research and technology development strategic plan. The FAST Act authorizes an average of $418 million per year for the following six programs: Highway Research and Development (HRD), Technology and Innovation Deployment Program (TIDP), Training and Education, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), University Transportation Research (administered by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology (OST-R)), and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (administered by OST- R). It also establishes two new discretionary programs: the Surface Transportation System Funding Alternatives Program (funded by a set-aside from HRD); and the Advanced Transportation and Congestion Management Technologies Deployment Program (funded by set-asides from HRD, TIDP, and ITS). The following is a description of the research, development, technology, and education programs administered by FHWA. Highway Research and Development Program [6002] The FAST Act provides $125 million per year for the HRD program. Research areas include highway safety, infrastructure integrity, planning and environment, highway operations, exploratory advanced research, and operation of the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center. In addition to the general activities described above, the FAST Act reserves some HRD funds for specific purposes: $15 million in FY 2016 and $20 million in each of FYs 2017-2020 for the Surface Transportation System Funding Alternatives Program. [6020] An unspecified amount for each of FYs 2016-2020 as one component of $60 million in annual funding for the Advanced Transportation and Congestion Management Technologies Deployment Program. [6004] Up to $5 million in FY 2016 to engage the Transportation Research Board to study the actions needed to upgrade and restore the Interstate System to meet the demands of the next 50 years. [6021] Up to $10 million per year for data sets and data analysis tools to assist State, MPO, and FHWA performance management activities. [6028] Surface Transportation System Funding Alternatives Program [6020] The FAST Act sets aside from HRD $15 million for FY 2016 and $20 million for each of FY 2017-2020 for a new Surface Transportation System Funding Alternatives Program. The program will provide grants to States to demonstrate user based alternative revenue mechanisms that utilize a user fee structure to maintain the long-term solvency of the Highway Trust Fund. Grants have a maximum Federal share of 50 percent. Technology and Innovation Deployment Program [6002-6004] The FAST Act authorizes an average of $67.4 million per year for TIDP, which accelerates implementation and delivery of new innovations and technologies that result from highway research and development. Of TIDP funds, FHWA must use at least $12 million per year of these funds to accelerate the deployment and implementation of pavement technology [6003]; and an unspecified amount for each of FYs 2016-2020 as one component of $60 million in annual funding for the Advanced Transportation and Congestion Management Technologies Deployment Program. [6004] Training and Education [6002] The FAST Act authorizes $24 million per year for continuation of training and education programs, including the National Highway Institute, the Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP), the Tribal Technical Assistance Program (TTAP), the Dwight D. Eisenhower Transportation Fellowships, the Garrett A. Morgan Technology and Transportation Education Program, the Transportation Education Development Program, the Freight Capacity Building Program, and the Centers for Excellence in the areas of environment, safety, and project finance. The Federal share for LTAP and TTAP centers remains at 50 percent and 100 percent, respectively. Intelligent Transportation Systems Program [6005-6010] The FAST Act authorizes $100 million per year for the ITS Program, which conducts research to advance transportation safety, mobility, and environmental sustainability through electronic and information technology applications. The FAST Act adds enhancement of the national freight system to the ITS program goals, along with support for national freight policy goals. The FAST Act also requires FHWA to use an unspecified amount of ITS Program funds for each of FYs 2016-2020 as one component of $60 million in annual funding for the Advanced Transportation and Congestion Management Technologies Deployment Program [6004]. Finally, the Act specifies that the program be administered by FHWA. TABLE OF CONTENTS APPENDIX A APPENDIX B APPENDIX C APPENDIX E APPENDIX F APPENDIX G APPENDIX D APPENDIX H Memphis MPO FY 2017-20 Transportation Improvement Program 32
TABLE OF CONTENTS APPENDIX A Advanced Transportation and Congestion Management Technologies Deployment Program [6004] The FAST Act establishes this program to fund eligible entities model deployment sites for large-scale implementation and operation of a diverse set of advanced transportation technologies in various geographic regions. Program purposes are to reduce costs and improve return on investments, deliver environmental benefits through increased mobility, improve transportation system operations, improve safety, improve collection and dissemination of real-time information, monitor transportation assets, deliver economic benefits, and accelerate deployment of connected/autonomous vehicle technologies. FHWA will award five to ten grants each year, with a maximum grant size of $12 million and a maximum Federal share of 50 percent. States, local governments or other political subdivisions, transit agencies, large MPOs (representing 200,000 or more population), multijurisdictional groups, and consortia of research or academic institutions may apply. Funding for this program (a total of $60 million for each of FY 2017-2020) is set aside from HRD, TIDP, and ITS. FOR MORE INFORMATION APPENDIX B Additional information related to the FAST Act, including fact sheets and guidance for individual programs and provisions, is available on the Federal Highway Administration s FAST Act website at www.fhwa.dot.gov/fastact. FHWA will continue to add material to this website as it implements the new law. APPENDIX G APPENDIX F APPENDIX E APPENDIX D APPENDIX C ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Regional Significance and Air Quality Attainment Status Regionally significant project means a transportation project that is on a facility which serves regional transportation needs (such as access to and from the area outside the region; major activity centers in the region; major planned developments such as new retail malls, sports complexes, or employment centers; or transportation terminals) and would normally be included in the modeling of the metropolitan area's transportation network. At a minimum, this includes all principal arterial highways and all fixed guideway transit facilities that offer a significant alternative to regional highway travel, per 23 CFR 450.104. Regional significance is collaboratively determined by each nonattainment and/or maintenance area s respective Interagency Consultation group, per 40 CFR 93.105. The EPA s Green Book of nonattainment and maintenance statuses is available at: www3.epa.gov/airquality/greenbook Advance Construction Advance Construction (AC) is a technique which allows a State to initiate a project using non-federal funds while preserving eligibility for future Federal-Aid funds. Eligibility means that FHWA has determined that the project technically qualifies for Federal-Aid; however, no present or future Federal funds are committed to the project. After an AC project is authorized, the state may convert the project to regular Federal-Aid funding provided Federal funds are made available for the project. An AC project must meet the same requirements and be processed in the same manner as a regular Federal-Aid project. All phases of a project must meet federal requirements for the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act (Uniform Act), etc, when any phase is implemented with Federal-Aid funds.

Up to 5 points will be given to projects that have high existing average daily traffic (ADT) counts. The Safety criterion is intended to measure the potential improvements to public safety and security that the proposed project will provide. It applies to both motorized and non-motorized users of the transportation system. Principal consideration will be given to the potential safety and security improvements directly related to the proposed project for all modes of transportation. Up to 8 points will be awarded to projects that have a higher accident rate. Projects incorporating traffic calming and design improvements will be awarded up to 4 points. 4 points will be awarded for any project that incorporates security improvements such as such surveillance cameras, lighting, emergency access, or any other additional security considerations. The greater the potential improvement to overall transportation safety and security, the higher the score for the potential project. A detailed list of traffic calming improvements and additional design improvements is included in the supporting documents. The Congestion Reduction criterion awards points to projects that reduce congestion by enhancing non-automotive modes of transportation. Projects will be awarded up to 4 points each for increased bicycle, pedestrian, and/or transit access and mobility, for a total of 12 points. The MPO's Regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan ranks 788 corridors in the Memphis MPO region. Up to 2 points will be awarded if the project is identified as one of the 788 ranked corridors on either the Bicycle or Pedestrian Corridor Improvements Priorities table in the Appendix of the Regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. The list of ranked corridors is also included in the supporting documents. Graphic illustrations of bicycle, pedestrian, and transit related improvements from the MPO's Regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan are included in the supporting documents. MATA's existing transit route map and the preferred alternative transit routes from MATA's Short Range Transit Plan are also included in the supporting documents. The Economic Vitality/Freight Movement criterion takes into account the overall economic impact that projects will have on the area as well as the impact projects will have on freight movement. Projects will be awarded up to 6 points for both economic vitality and freight movement for a total of 12 points. Economic Vitality focuses on the accessibility and mobility of projects to jobs as well as the service to developed or developable industrial or commercial properties. Freight Movement focuses on projects that improve freight routes with heavy truck traffic as well as those that enhance rail, air, or port related movement. The Memphis MPO's Freight Route Map along with a list of freight related improvements is included in the supporting documents. Network continuity considers the need for overall system efficiency for each evaluated project. 2 points will be given to projects that increase the efficiency of the overall transportation system for the region and 1 point will be given to projects that provide local network continuity. For example, 2 points will be awarded to a project that either widens a segment of road that already connects two previously widened segments or connects existing freight corridors and has a significant regional impact. Regional network continuity are those projects that foster greater connection region wide, whereas local network continuity only has localized benefits.

Up to 4 points will be given to projects that have high volume to capacity ratios. Up to 10 points will be given to projects that result in more time saved in terms of travel time delay and utilizes two or more of the 10 Congestion Management Process Strategies, excluding general purpose lanes, as discussed in the MPO's Congestion Management Process (CMP). Submitted projects will be modeled to estimate the travel time savings by comparing the travel time with or without the project. If a project falls on a congested network or impacts an adjacent congested network and utilizes two or more of the 10 CMP Strategies, excluding general purpose lanes, as part of the project scope, then the points received from the Travel Time Delay Reduction can be multiplied by two. For example, if your project has a delay reduction of 0.9 minutes and you include intersection and signalization improvements than your project will be awarded a total of 4 points for Travel Time Delays. 2 points (Delay reduction 0.80 to 1.20 min) X 2 points (CMP Strategy) = 4 points total for Travel Time Delays The 10 CMP strategies from the 2040 RTP, as well as Appendix B-1 Strategy Toolbox from the MPO's Congestion Management Process (CMP), which looks at examples of the CMP strategies is included in the supporting documents. The Project Delivery criterion awards projects that have demonstrated project readiness through obligation or advanced work as well as an overmatch for required local funds. Project readiness applies only to carry over projects which have demonstrated advance work and have progressed since the project was originally submitted. 10 points will be awarded if the project has shown timely obligation on all FY 2014 and FY 2015 funds in the FY 2014-17 TIP. 5 points will be awarded if the project received partial obligation or if advanced work has been shown. Most federal funded programs requires a match of 80-20 i.e. 80% of the funds are provided by the federal government and 20% by local lead agency. This criterion awards up to 4 points to projects for which lead agency can overmatch the minimum 20% match requirement. No points will be awarded if only the minimum match funds i.e. 20% are included in the project cost. Documentation, such as a signed letter from the Mayor or resolution from local legislative board, will need to be provided for projects seeking points for additional match. The Environmental Sustainability criterion considers the impacts of projects on Environmental Justice (EJ) communities and the physical environment as well as the relationship between transportation and land use. Under Environmental Justice, up to 3 points will be awarded for projects that positively impact the EJ communities. For example, if the project incorporates safety improvements in an EJ community, it will be considered as a positive EJ impact and receive 1 point. Under Environmental Impacts, 3 points will be awarded if the project has minimal environmental impacts on the physical environment such as wetlands and cultural resources. A project will receive -6 points if it negatively impacts an EJ community and/or the Environment. For example, if the project displaces residents and splits the community or impacts the environment such as crossing an established wetland or demolishing a historic site it would be considered a negative impact. Projects will be considered having minimal impacts if proper mitigation strategies, as discussed in 2040 RTP, were applied. Projects that provide linkages between different land uses will be awarded 1 point for each connection to a different land use for a maximum total of 3 points for 3 or more links. Examples of different land uses include retail/commercial, office, residential, industrial, and open space, etc. 2 points will be awarded to projects that are consistent with locally adopted plans. The project should substantially advance the vision, goals, and land use recommendations of the adopted plan. Plans to be considered include, but are not limited to, comprehensive plans, land use plans, special district plans, or road plans. Projects that are located in areas without an adopted plan and have positive land use impacts will be awarded 1 point in this category. Projects that are inconsistent with locally adopted plans and have a negative impact on land use will be awarded -2 points. Examples of negative land use impacts include, but are not limited to, displacement of existing businesses or residents, potential for significant change to the character of an area, potential to spur development that is incompatible with existing adjacent development. An additional 1 point will be awarded to projects that serve a strategic zone targeted by the jurisdiction for development or revitalization. These zones may be recognized by the municipality as locations targeted for development through tax breaks and other incentives.
