March 20, 2017 - FAMPO Policy Committee Meeting Minutes 2

APPROVAL OF FAMPO AGENDA Upon motion by Ms. Bohmke and seconded by Mr. Withers, with all concurring, the FAMPO Policy Agenda for the March 20th meeting was accepted as presented. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT Mr. Farley criticized committee members for their February objections to the Smart Scale 45-minute commute rule. He stated the State cannot subsidize unreasonable commutes, so if the national average for commutes is approximately 25 minutes, then a 45-minute time is a very generous cut-off point for commuter-related projects. Mr. Farley expressed disappointment in the committee members’ desire to game the Smart Scale system to promote wasteful local projects instead of embracing the HB-2 goals of promoting UDAs and efficient transportation. Mr. Farley recommended ending further expansion of road and parking capacity projects and prioritizing two projects to promote local industry instead. Mr. Farley stated the two issues that could be considered are: 1 – a rail line along the Route 301 corridor that would free up space on the Fredericksburg line and provide improved national security for the capital; and 2 – a legislative lobbying effort to allow congestion pricing on roads that do not have free movement of trucks and buses. FIRST VICE-CHAIR’s COMMENTS None ACTION ITEMS/DISCUSSION ITEMS

a.) Approval of FAMPO Minutes of February 27, 2017 – Mr. Paul Agnello Upon motion by Ms. Bohmke and seconded by Mr. McLaughlin, with Ms. Maurer and Mr. Trampe abstaining, and all others concurring, the minutes from the February 27th meeting were accepted as presented. b.) Approval of Resolution No. 17-23, Directing that a Public Review and Comment Period be Held Prior to the Adoption of the Public Participation Plan (PPP) – Mr. Paul Agnello Mr. Agnello stated that per federal law and regulations, FAMPO is required to develop and adopt a Public Participation Plan (PPP). Mr. Agnello stated the PPP includes outreach strategies for the underserved populations. The Title VI Community Resource Directory was originally created by FAMPO in 2012 and has been updated by FAMPO staff. Mr. Agnello stated that a 45-day public comment period is required before the PPP can be adopted by the Policy Committee. Mr. Agnello stated that Resolution No. 17-23 is asking for endorsement for the Public Comment Period to begin on March 23rd and conclude on May 6th. A public hearing is scheduled for May 15th, with a request that the Policy Committee will adopt the plan at the upcoming May 15th Policy Committee meeting. Upon motion by Ms. Bohmke and seconded by Mr. Withers, with all concurring, Resolution No. 17-23 was adopted by the FAMPO Policy Committee.


c.) Approval of Resolution No. 17-24, Amending the FY2015-2018 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) to Update UPC 101595 – Mr. Nick Quint Mr. Quint advised that the Southbound Rappahannock River Crossing project was added to the SYIP after it was selected for funding in the first round of Smart Scale. Mr. Quint stated that the CTB adopted the FY2017-2022 Six-Year Improvement Program (SYIP) on June 14, 2016 prior to the Southbound River Crossing project being approved. Mr. Quint stated that Resolution No. 17-24 is asking for endorsement by the Policy Committee to approve $20 m of funding for bridges over Route 17. Mr. Quint stated this is a temporary funding allocation request as funding for the project has been awarded by the State from the “State of Good Repair” funding resource and the money will be transferred once the “State of Good Repair” funds are allocated to VDOT. Upon motion by Ms. Bohmke and seconded by Mr. Withers, with all concurring, Resolution No. 17-24 was adopted by the FAMPO Policy Committee. d.) Approval of Resolution No. 17-25, Amending the FY2015-2018 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) to Update Fiscal year 2015-2018 Funding – Mr. Nick Quint Mr. Quint advised that Resolution No. 17-25 is asking for adoption of amendments to the FY2015-2018 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for updates to FY2015-2018 funding allocations. Mr. Quint stated that the amendments include: maintenance funding requests from VDOT; regrouping of project list per request from FAMPO staff; and adding PE funds from the Route 606/Mudd Tavern Road HB2 project. Upon motion by Mr. Trampe and seconded by Mr. Withers, with all concurring, Resolution No. 17-25 was adopted by the FAMPO Policy Committee. e.) Approval of Resolution No. 17-26, Endorsing a City of Fredericksburg Grant Application to the Virginia Department of Transportation Alternatives program (TAP) Funding – Mr. Nick Quint Mr. Quint advised that Resolution No. 17-26 is requesting endorsement for a downtown pedestrian grant enhancement project being submitted by the City of Fredericksburg. Mr. Quint stated this grant is being applied for under the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) through the State and requires a 20% local match. Mr. Quint advised the local match required is being funded from the City of Fredericksburg. Upon motion by Mr. Withers and seconded by Ms. Bohmke, with all concurring, Resolution No. 17-26 was adopted by the FAMPO Policy Committee. f.) 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) Update – Mr. Paul Agnello Mr. Agnello advised that the call for 2045 candidate projects has been issued and to date, few have been received. Mr. Agnello relayed that the deadline for submitting new projects is close of business on March 22nd. Mr. Agnello reminded localities to submit any new projects on the fillable form that


was provided to each locality and that successful Smart Scale projects already included from FY2017-2022 or FY2018-2023 do not need to be re-submitted. Mr. Agnello stated that development of FY2018 to FY2045 revenue estimates for FAMPO CLRP is underway. Mr. Agnello stated that DRPT (rail/transit) projects have been received; VDOT (highways/bike/ped) project list is under development; the local transportation revenues will be requested at the next LRTP Advisory Committee meeting (meeting is scheduled to occur mid-April); and that once the revenue estimates are received, FAMPO will then request review/approval from FHWA/FTA. Mr. Agnello stated that I-95 Phase 2 will likely be integrated into LRTP Advisory Committee agenda in May.

i. I-95 Corridor Study Phase 2 Mr. Agnello stated that the I-95 Phase 2 Corridor study plans to be conducted within the framework of the 2045 LRTP process. Mr. Agnello relayed that the I-95 Phase 1 study was a highway only study; however, Phase 2 will be multi-modal. Mr. Agnello stated the study area for Phase 1 was for Route 610 at Garrisonville to Route 126 at Massaponax and the study area for Phase 2 will be expanded to cover a 30-mile stretch from Hanover/Caroline line to Stafford/Quantico line. Mr. Agnello stated the purpose of the Phase 2 study is to identify multimodal solutions that will maximize throughput and decrease congestion along the I-95 corridor. Mr. Agnello advised FAMPO will be utilizing results of studies already completed by VDOT from the Route 301 corridor study and the GWRC TDM study for the Transit/TDM work. Mr. Agnello advised staff will be working with the Advisory Committee throughout the entire process and that the cost of the Phase 2 study is $480k; with $400k for the highway study and 80$ to the Transit/TDM study. Mr. Agnello stated that the highway study funding has already been allocated by the State. Mr. Agnello advised that the $80k for the Transit/TDM, if approved by the Policy Committee tonight, will be funded with RSTP monies.

ii. Approval of Resolution No. 17-27, Authorizing Staff to work with Michael Baker International to Execute the I-95 Phase 2 Transit/TDM Study

Mr. Agnello advised that Resolution No. 17-27 is asking for endorsement of utilizing $80k of RSTP funds for the cost of the I-95 Phase 2 Corridor study for the Transit/TDM portion of the study. Upon motion by Mr. Withers and seconded by Mr. McLaughlin, with all concurring, Resolution No. 17-27 was adopted by the FAMPO Policy Committee. g.) Smart Scale Update – Mr. Paul Agnello Mr. Agnello advised that the Smart Scale Advisory Committee is concluding, with a final meeting scheduled for March 30th. This meeting will be held in the GWRC conference room from 6-7:30 p.m. The purpose of the meeting will be to provide a summary of any recent updates; finalize the letter and content to be submitted to the State; and provide data, comments, feedback, inconsistencies in the two rounds of Smart Scale process; etc. to both Mr. Hap Connors for him to present to the CTB meeting in April and to also have included on the Smart Scale website.


h.) State Transportation Update – Ms. Marcie Parker, VDOT Ms. Parker advised that there are no transportation updates to report at this time. Ms. Parker advised that the Fredericksburg District will be meeting with Central VDOT staff on April 10th. Ms. Parker also relayed that the Fred Ex meetings that were scheduled the week of March 13th were re-scheduled due to the inclement weather forecast. These meetings will be held this week on Tuesday and Wednesday. The meeting here will be held on Wednesday night at Stafford High School. i.) Approval of Resolution No. 17-28, Authorizing Staff to Transfer Fiscal Year 2018 RSTP

Funding Allocations to Support a Virginia Department of Transportation STARS Study – Mr. Paul Agnello

Mr. Agnello advised that Resolution No. 17-28 is a request presented to staff by VDOT. VDOT’s STARS (Strategically Targeted Affordable Roadway Solutions) program develops comprehensive and innovative transportation solutions that will relieve congestion bottlenecks and solve critical traffic and safety challenges throughout the State. Mr. Agnello stated that VDOT’s Fredericksburg District’s top project priority that is applicable for funding if selected by the State is the intersection improvements at US 1 between the Falmouth intersection and Route 3. Mr. Agnello stated that leveraging $60,000 of FY2018 RSTP funding towards this project would enable the project to be more competitive for STARS approval. Mr. Agnello stated that Resolution No. 17-28 is asking for endorsement to allocate the $60,000. Upon motion by Mr. Withers and seconded by Ms. Bohmke, with all concurring, Resolution No. 17-28 was adopted by the FAMPO Policy Committee.

i. STARS Study Opportunity Mr. Agnello advised that STARS program supports PE funding on moving projects forward that has funding leveraged toward the project. Mr. Agnello stated that staff attended a VDOT meeting on March 7th and just learned about the STARS funding opportunity. Mr. Agnello stated that this funding is allocated state-wide so there is no guarantee that every corridor project that is submitted will be approved. Mr. Agnello stated the STARS program works very similar to the Smart Scale program in that projects that have leveraged funding associated stand a better chance of getting approved. Mr. Agnello advised that the project mentioned above is the top project of three identified by the Fredericksburg District VDOT office. Mr. Agnello stated that the deadline for VDOT district offices to submit applications is March 28th. j.) Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ)/Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP) Program Update – Mr. Paul Agnello and Mr. Nick Quint

Mr. Agnello advised that FAMPO leveraged CMAQ/RSTP funding for 11 Smart Scale projects. Of these 11, 4 were successfully scored; 1 was scored and approval is still to be determined; 4 were scored but not successfully approved; and 2 were screened out from the scoring process.


Mr. Agnello stated that the 4 projects selected were successful in the region receiving $29.5 m in Smart Scale funding by have $3.9 m of leveraged CMAQ/RSTP funding applied. Mr. Agnello stated that for Round 2 of the Smart Scale process, approximately 2/3 of the draft Smart Scale funding the region received came from candidate projects in FAMPO’s CMAQ/RSTP programs. Mr. Agnello advised that Stafford County has requested to add a new CMAQ/RSTP project for funding consideration which is the Enon Road at US 1 intersection and safety improvements project. Mr. Agnello advised that FY2018-2023 CMAQ/RSTP funding needs to be allocated by late April. Mr. Agnello stated this would be presented to the FAMPO Policy Committee for consideration at the April 17th meeting. Mr. Agnello stated that the application process ended on March 15th and each FAMPO locality had an option of submitting one new additional project. Mr. Agnello stated that there is limited funding available so there is no guarantee any new projects will receive funding. Mr. Agnello relayed also that some existing projects that are now partially funded could in fact end up being defunded. Ms. Bohmke asked what Economic Development Access funding was and if Stafford had used it in the past. Mr. Baroody said that Stafford did not use this funding for transportation projects during his tenure. Ms. Parker stated this funding source used to be referred to as the Industrial Access Funding category which funded up to $400,000 per project and has a 20% match requirement. Mr. Agnello stated that a new project(s) was submitted by each of the 3 FAMPO jurisdictions and the projects will be scored by FAMPO staff and presented to the Policy Committee on April 17th for endorsement. Mr. Agnello advised the new projects submitted are as follows: (Mr. Agnello stated that even though 1 project per locality was specified, Spotsylvania County submitted 3 projects so staff took the first project submitted as the top project to move forward). The projects are as follows: City of Fredericksburg – PE work for VCR trail bridges over Route 3/US1 County of Spotsylvania – Roundabout at Old Plank Road & Andora Drive County of Stafford – US1 & Enon road intersection and roadway improvements FAMPO CORRESPONDENCE Included in agenda packet and self-explanatory.

1. Additional District Grant projects in GWRC King George project for Dahlgren Turn Lane Ext for Rte 301 South: Yes Stafford District Grant project for Enon Rd @ Rte 1: No

2. State Feedback on NB River Crossing project A worthy and viable project for Round 3 of Smart Scale Likely needs significant additional funding to use as leverage and/or a strong multimodal

component to score well enough to be selected. Estimate on additional funding that would have been needed in Round 2: About $50 Million Research underway on potential ways to increase PE funding for project.

Current Funding is $2 Million PE Cost is $14.5 Million

Multimodal improvements under consideration for Round 3 Transit/TDM/PNR Lots/Bike/Ped

I-95 Phase 2 Study will analyze potential multimodal needs for NB River Crossing. May need locality help this summer with some improvements (TAP, Revenue Sharing, HSIP, etc.)

3. State Feedback on Rte 610 Direct Connect Ramp Project screened out of Smart Scale because of concerns it may not be necessary once

committed express lane improvements are completed. Probably not a viable application for Round 3 of Smart Scale

4. Preparing for Round 3 Schedule to be moved up, perhaps from August to Spring 2018 Special Task Force for Smart Scale – Input needs to be sent to State before May 10th for

consideration by the CTB at retreat planned for this summer. Revised Smart Scale program information likely to be available by Fall 2017.

Early Fall?: FAMPO/GWRC Coordination for Smart Scale Round 3 applications likely begins

Comparison Example of Round 2 Congestion scores for Average Weekday: NB River Crossing in Fredericksburg: 57.9 (Score lowered due to SB improvements) I-64 High Rise Bridge in Hampton Roads: 94.5 (Highest score in state) VA 286 Interchange in NOVA: 57.6 I-95 Widening in Richmond: 27.1 (Most of score due to a new PNR Lot)

27 Total Recommendations• 10 Recommendations regarding process• 17 Recommendations regarding six Smart Scale Factors

Congestion = 4 Safety = 3 Accessibility = 2 Environment = 2 Economic Development = 4 Land Use = 2

Highlights from Smart Scale input on Process

6

1. Focus more Statewide High Priority Program funding on major regional projects. Restrict project applications to those identified as meeting a VTrans Needs Assessment need for a Corridor of Statewide Significance (CoSS).

2. Restrict bicycle/pedestrian projects from consideration in the Statewide High Priority Program. These projects can be considered for funding in the District Grant Program.

3. Refine the Smart Scale prioritization methodology to better assess the benefits of large regional projects versus small projects.

4. Improve pre-application coordination between State and applicants so applicants can obtain reliable feedback on project eligibility. Consider providing complimentary pre-screening of candidate projects submitted by an early deadline to encourage earlier project submissions and reduce the risk of candidate projects being screened out.

5. Since the number of project applications is likely to increase significantly from Round 2 to Round 3 (e.g., from 436 to 1,000), consider developing either an expanded screening process or two-phase prioritization process where initial screening or first-phase prioritization would employ a simpler approach to identify the top X% (e.g., 50%, of submitted eligible projects). Then only this top X% of projects would go through the robust prioritization scoring methodology for Smart Scale. This approach would create a more sustainable work effort for State staff, allow more resources to be devoted to the top X% of projects, and help improve quality control.

Highlights from Smart Scale input on Six Factors

7

1. Congestion Include all travel days: Sunday through Saturday in Congestion analysis. Current analysis only considers average

weekday.

2. Safety For larger projects competing for Statewide High Priority funding on Corridors of Statewide Significance, include

accidents in all areas of reoccurring traffic congestion for any travel day (Sunday through Saturday).

3. Accessibility Either develop a decay curve for the Fredericksburg Region or group the Fredericksburg Region with NOVA for the decay

curve analysis, instead of grouping Fredericksburg with the rest of the state. Review Access to Jobs highway and transit travel time thresholds for reasonableness for the NOVA and Fredericksburg regions.

4. Environment Peak traffic for all travel days (weekday and weekend) should be included in the Air Quality scoring.

5. Economic Development Increase weighting of Intermodal Access and Efficiency and Travel Time Reliability measures for all projects. Currently

each receives 20% of the economic development score.

6. Land Use Increase buffer size to more than one mile for large regional projects. Using a one-mile buffer for all projects regardless of

size gives small projects an advantage over larger projects.

Honorable Aubrey Layne Secretary of Transportation Commonwealth of Virginia 1111 East Broad Street Richmond, VA 23219

RE: Recommendations from FAMPO Smart Scale Task Force Regarding Smart Scale Prioritization Process

Dear Secretary Layne:

We appreciate the work that the Commonwealth is doing to improve transportation in the Fredericksburg region and are writing to provide FAMPO recommendations to the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) on some potential ways to improve the Smart Scale program for Round 3. We have divided our recommendations into two categories:

1. Recommendations on process improvements2. Recommendations on prioritization methodology improvements

We hope that the CTB finds the attached input helpful. If you have any questions regarding these recommendations, feel free to contact myself or Paul Agnello.

Sincerely,

Matt Kelly Chair

FAMPO Smart Scale Task Force Input for the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB)

Recommendations regarding Process:

1. Focus more Statewide High Priority Program funding on major regional projects. Restrict project applications to those identified as meeting a VTrans Needs Assessment need for a Corridor of Statewide Significance (CoSS).

2. Restrict bicycle/pedestrian projects from consideration in the Statewide High Priority Program. These projects can be considered for funding in the District Grant Program.

3. Refine the Smart Scale prioritization methodology to better assess the benefits of large regional projects versus small projects.

4. Final version of Smart Scale Policy and Technical Guides and supporting information should be available to potential applicants at least one month before the Pre-Application period begins. For the Round 2 schedule, this would have been by June 1st.

5. Improve pre-application candidate project coordination between State and applicants so that applicants can obtain reliable feedback from the State on project eligibility. Consider providing complimentary pre-screening of candidate projects submitted by an early deadline to encourage earlier project submissions and reduce the risk of candidate projects being screened out.

6. Coordinate the VTransNeeds Assessment process with MPOs/PDCs in the year between Smart Scale cycles to promote consistency between State VTransand MPO/PDC Long Range Transportation Plans.

7. Since number of project applications is likely to increase significantly from Round 2 to Round 3 (e.g., from 436 to 1,000), consider simplifying the screening process for District Grant candidate projects to be consistent with approach used for Round 1 of Smart Scale, which only looked at consistency with Regional Networks, UDAs, and Safety. Only use more complicated Round 2 VTransNeeds Assessment approach for Statewide High Priority projects.

8. Since number of project applications is likely to increase significantly from Round 2 to Round 3 (e.g., from 436 to 1,000), and Round 2 screening took significantly longer to completed than the scheduled one month, consider increasing scheduled time for Smart Scale project-eligibility screening.

9. Since the number of project applications is likely to increase significantly from Round 2 to Round 3 (e.g., from 436 to 1,000), consider developing either an expanded screening process or two-phase prioritization process where initial screening or first phase prioritization would employ a simpler approach to identify the top X%(e.g., 50%, of submitted eligible projects). Then only this top X% of projects would go through the robust prioritization scoring methodology for Smart Scale. This approach would create a more sustainable work effort for the State staff, allow more resources to be devoted to the top X% of projects, and help improve quality control.

10. Regarding the District Grant Program, keep any remaining funds available at the end of a given Smart Scale round for a given district available for that respective district in the next round of Smart Scale.

Recommendations regarding Prioritization Methodology:

These recommendations are organized by each of the six Smart Scale factors,starting with Congestion.

Regarding Congestion Factor:

1. Include all travel days: Sunday through Saturday in Congestion analysis. Current analysis only considers average weekday.

2. Include existing base year traffic in congestion analysis, in addition to future needs assessment year traffic. Existing base year traffic would improve consistency on major roadways throughout the state and improve the ability of the congestion analysis to include travel for all travel days: Sunday through Saturday. Consider weighting traffic score at 50% for existing traffic and 50% for future needs assessment traffic congestion reduction.

3. For future needs assessment year analysis, consider using the Virginia Statewide Model in conjunction with regional models to reduce inconsistency in modeling results between different regions, e.g., Northern Virginia vs. Fredericksburg vs. Richmond/Tri-Cities.

4. If not already doing so, consider only including SYIP committed improvements in Needs Assessment analysis year, as opposed to all Constrained Long Range Plan projects or all Long Range Transportation Plan projects.

Regarding SafetyFactor:

1. Instead of choosing a maximum number of locations to show by District (e.g., 100), develop a threshold criteria for documenting a safety issue. If data is inadequate for smaller roadways, consider only doing this for major roadways.

2. For smaller roadways where statewide accident data may be inadequate, consider developing an improved approach for VDOT or applicant safety studies to be documented in the Smart Scale process.

3. For larger projects competing for Statewide High Priority funding on Corridors of Statewide Significance, include accidents in all areas of reoccurring traffic congestion for any travel day (Sunday through Saturday).

Regarding AccessibilityFactor:

1. Either develop a decay curve for the Fredericksburg Region or group the Fredericksburg Region with NOVA for the decay curve analysis, instead of grouping Fredericksburg with the rest of the state. Review Access to Jobshighway and transit travel time thresholds for reasonableness for the NOVA and Fredericksburg regions.

2. Consider including bicycle trips for first mile/last mile travel in transit accessibility calculations. Currently pedestrian travel is included, but not bicycle travel.

Regarding Environment Factor:

1. Congestion reduction impacts of large highway projects for truck freight should be able to qualify for more than 10% of the Air Quality scoring. Currently they may only receive one point out of ten.

2. Peak traffic for all travel days (weekday and weekend) should be included in the Air Quality scoring.

Regarding Economic Development Factor:

1. Increase the area of influence for Tier 2 and Tier 3 projects above the current 3- and 5-mile thresholds. For Tier 3 projects, increase threshold from 5 miles to 10 miles. For Tier 2 projects, increase threshold from 3 miles to 5 miles.

2. Include park and ride lot improvements in Tier 2 project type, instead of Tier 1 project type.

3. Increase weighting of Intermodal Access and Efficiency and Travel Time Reliability measures for all projects. Currently each receives 20% of the economic development score.

4. Consider using different measure weighting for Statewide High Priority vs. District Grant projects. For Statewide High Priority projects, relative weighting of Intermodal Access and Efficiency and Travel Time Reliability measures should be more than 40%.

Regarding Land Use Factor:

1. Increase buffer size to more than one mile for large regional projects. Using a one-mile buffer for all projects regardless of size gives small projects an advantage over larger projects.

2. Develop tiers for buffer size based on project type and make consistent with tiers being used for project support for economic development.

Fredericksburg Area Metropolitan Planning Organization Special FAMPO Task Force for Smart Scale Input

Meeting #2 – March 30, 2017

Committee Members Present: Mr. Matt Kelly, City of Fredericksburg Ms. Ruby Brabo, County of King George Mr. Michael Smith, County of Stafford Mr. Hap Connors, Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) Mr. Rupert Farley, Citizens Transportation Advisory Group (CTAG) Mr. Tim Roseboom, Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) Ms. Diane Zumatto, Fredericksburg Regional Chamber of Commerce (FRCC) Mr. Chuck Steigerwald, Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission (PRTC) Mr. Stephen Haynes, Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) Ms. Marcie Parker, VDOT Others In Attendance: Ms. Margie Ray, VDOT – Central Office Mr. Chad Tucker, VDOT – Central Office Ms. Michelle Shropshire, VDOT – Fredericksburg District Office Mr. Anthony Donald, Michael Baker Intl. Mr. Scott Shenk, Free-Lance Star Mr. Bob Martin, Citizen FAMPO Staff: Mr. Paul Agnello, FAMPO Mr. Nick Quint, FAMPO Ms. Diana Utz, GWRC Ms. JoAnna Roberson, GWRC Welcome and Purpose of Meeting Mr. Agnello welcomed everyone and thanked them for participating in tonight’s meeting. Mr. Agnello advised that this is the second Special Smart Scale Task Force meeting. Mr. Agnello relayed that the Task Force was formed per a request from the FAMPO Policy Committee. The goal of the Task Force is to develop constructive input regarding the Smart Scale process and the draft scoring results. Mr. Agnello advised that the feedback received will be presented to Mr. Hap Connors so the concerns, comments, etc. can be relayed to the CTB at their upcoming April 18th meeting. Mr. Kelly stated that the purpose of the committee is not to focus on the projects that either did not score high enough or were screened from the application process for Round 2 of the Smart Scale process. Instead, the purpose is to express concern over discrepancies in the scoring

2

process. Mr. Kelly stated that the region wants to be better-equipped for submitting projects that will be more competitive in Round 3 of Smart Scale. Mr. Agnello stated that FAMPO recommendations were broken into two categories: recommendations on the process and recommendations on the prioritization methodology. Mr. Agnello stated that this region feels it would have been more beneficial applicants to have received the application guide earlier in the process. Mr. Tucker advised that the draft Technical Guide was available in June and finalized in July. Mr. Tucker relayed that there were three minor changes made to the guide in September, and these changes had no impact on the application process. Mr. Agnello stated that for Round 3 of Smart Scale, having the final version of Technical Guide available one month in advance of the start of the Pre-application period, which would have been by June 1stfor Round 2, would provide adequate time for potential applicants to review in advance of the application window. Mr. Agnello stated that FAMPO coordinated with VDOT before any projects were submitted for consideration. Mr. Agnello relayed that VDOT gave no indication of potential risks; however, some applications were screened out and some scored too low to receive funding. Mr. Agnello stated for this region there appeared to be program guidelines and supporting information that was released later in the process and this made it challenging for applicants to comprehend the changes from Round 1 to Round 2 prior to submitting their applications. Mr. Kelly asked if, for Round 3 of the Smart Scale application process, consideration could be given to having projects scored specifically and not generically. Mr. Connors stated that this district is split into both rural and urban localities and therefore receives two separate weightings for the Smart Scale measures (Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania & Stafford are in Category A and Caroline & King George are in Category D). Mr. Tucker stated for economic development projects, the State looked at gaps to coincide with statewide economic development projects. Mr. Tucker advised that the VDOT decisions are based on what the CTB advises them to do. Mr. Kelly asked if consideration would be given for projects that are in multiple jurisdictions and have a statewide benefit to be scored differently versus a project that has more benefit to a local jurisdiction. Mr. Tucker advised that this concern has been expressed from other jurisdictions. For Round 3, the State is looking at having projects approved in various stages – i.e. basic/pre-screening, application readiness to move forward, application submission and application approval. Mr. Steigerwald asked if this is implemented in Round 3, would there be an opportunity to revise an application and resubmit it rather than have it screened out? Mr. Tucker concurred that this would allow for revisions throughout the process. Mr. Kelly stated that projects submitted by the FAMPO region were screened out for various reasons. The City of Fredericksburg was under the assumption that a project submitted in a UDA would automatically be screened in; however, their project was screened out. Mr. Kelly stated

3

that a notification earlier in the process would have been helpful. Mr. Kelly also advised that the VDOT Fredericksburg District office is attempting to fund the project through another program. Mr. Kelly stated that providing regions and localities with a list of available funding sources would be helpful. Knowing this beforehand would allow jurisdictions to submit projects where funding is more likely to be available. Mr. Agnello stated that it would be helpful if VDOT made VTrans presentations earlier in the process. Mr. Tucker stated that meetings were made to all regions. Mr. Agnello stated that no meeting was held for the Fredericksburg Region, and a lot of times our region’s meeting is combined with either the Richmond or Northern Virginia regions. Mr. Agnello stated that he thinks the meeting that was held for Round 2 of the Smart Scale process for this region was combined with the meeting held in Richmond, and all projects that were discussed at this meeting were specific Richmond projects. The Fredericksburg materials did not make it to this meeting. Mr. Agnello stated that the region supports the Smart Scale process; however, the region was under the impression that the purpose was to have more opportunities for larger projects to be approved. Mr. Agnello stated that in both Round 1 & Round 2 of the Smart Scale process smaller projects have scored higher than larger projects. Mr. Kelly stated that regarding large projects, two questions have resulted from the region. Mr. Kelly said that the Northbound Rappahannock River Crossing project is not only designated as a regional priority but is also recognized as a statewide priority. Mr. Kelly asked if consideration could be given to having statewide priority projects scored separately from large projects that have leveraged funding available. Mr. Kelly stated the second question involves the Hampton Roads and Northern Virginia regions. Both have regional tax authorities in place that the Fredericksburg region is not eligible for, which allows them to leverage significant amounts of funding on their projects. Since regions without a tax authority in place will continue to be uncompetitive with larger projects, should the projects be scored separately in two categories: 1) large projects with no tax authority in place and/or no leveraged funding, and 2) large projects that do have a tax authority in place and/or leveraged funding. Mr. Connors stated that the legislature recognizes this issue, and he anticipates that a recommendation will come either asking this issue to be fairly addressed at the state level or giving the CTB the authority to designate. Mr. Agnello stated that other changes for consideration are to include both weekday and weekend data for all projects and make the VTrans and Smart Scale processes consistent. Mr. Agnello also recommended projects be scored using total project cost versus Smart Scale request cost.

Results of Smart Scale Process – Mr. Paul Agnello and Mr. Anthony Donald Due to the lateness of the meeting time, Mr. Donald briefly advised that a three-month study has been completed for congestion comparison to other Smart Scale projects. Mr. Donald stated that the study objective was to compare the existing congestion levels between the I-95 Rappahannock River Crossing projects and other projects that scored higher in the 2016 Smart Scale process. Mr. Donald stated that INRIX data, which is real data, was used to illustrate the comparisons in the study. Of specific interest was the inclusion of significant weekend congestion experienced in the FAMPO region. Mr. Donald stated that the Smart Scale congestion mitigation measure is not believed to adequately account for weekday, weekend, and seasonal traffic issues. Mr. Donald advised that the following days and times were compared: A.M. peak period (worst 4 hours of each roadway on Tuesday through Thursday); P.M. peak period (worst 4 hours of each roadway on Tuesday through Thursday); Friday (worst 8 hours of each roadway (SB River Crossing was a 12-hour period); Saturday (worst 10 hours of each roadway); & Sunday (worst 12 hours of each roadway). Next Steps & Adjourn Mr. Agnello stated that the Smart Scale Task Force would finalize its recommendations in a report and present it to the VDOT Fredericksburg District office, VDOT Central Office and Mr. Hap Connors (for presentation and discussion at a future CTB meeting). Mr. Tucker stated that the Smart Scale process is better than what was previously in place; however, other districts have also expressed some of the same issues and recommendations expressed by FAMPO. Mr. Tucker advised that the recommendations will be reviewed, and we could possibly see some changes implemented for Round 3 of the Smart Scale application process. The second Special FAMPO Task Force meeting was adjourned at 8:17 p.m.

INTRODUCTION TO FAMPO

A Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is a regional planning entity created by federal law and is

responsible for transportation planning and approval of federal transportation funding for an Urbanized

Area (UZA) with over 50,000 inhabitants, as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau. MPOs provide a forum

where local officials, public transportation providers and state agency representatives come together and

cooperatively plan to meet a region's current and future transportation needs. The George Washington

Regional Commission (GWRC), the Fredericksburg Region’s Planning District Commission, acts as the fiscal

agent and also staffs the MPO.

The Fredericksburg Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (FAMPO) was established in 1992 to carry out

the regional transportation planning process in the metropolitan area. As the federally designated MPO, for

the Fredericksburg Region, FAMPO is required to coordinate the transportation planning activities for the City

of Fredericksburg as well as the Counties of Spotsylvania and Stafford. This includes the planning and

programming of federal funds through the TIP. To ensure compliance, the FY 2018 – 2021 TIP was developed

in adherence to the applicable federal regulations associated with the current federal transportation act –

Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act.

In the FAMPO Region there are approximately 31 miles of interstate highway (I-95); 133 miles of primary

roadways (Routes 1,2,3,17, 208, 212); 1,349 miles of secondary roadways (600 level and above roadways)

and 67 miles of urban streets (all roads in the City of Fredericksburg except for interstate and primary

roadways).


Page 4

As defined by federal transportation regulations, MPOs direct how and where available federal dollars for

transportation improvements will be spent. The primary functions of the MPO are to:

Establish the goals, objectives and policies governing transportation planning in the region.

Direct the preparation of, and adopt, the long-range and short-range strategies of the

Transportation Plan (CLRP).

Recommend projects for implementation through the adoption of the Transportation

Improvement Program (TIP).

Perform the air quality conformity determination for the Transportation Improvement Program

(TIP).

MISSION STATEMENT

The Fredericksburg Area Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (FAMPO) mission is to provide a cooperative,

continuous and comprehensive ("3C") transportation planning process to build regional agreement on

transportation investments. The goal is to create a multi-modal transportation network that balances roadway,

public transit, bicycle, pedestrian, and other transportation needs. This network should support regional land

use, economic, and environmental priorities as well as provide for the safe and efficient movement of people

and goods. An 11-member policy committee that governs FAMPO is represented by FAMPO localities, the

Virginia Department of Transportation, and the Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission

(PRTC).

“3C” Planning Process

INTRODUCTION TO FAMPO TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT

PROGRAM

The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a financially-constrained, four-year list of transportation

projects programmed for the FAMPO area. The total cost of all TIP projects or project phases cannot exceed

the amount of funding that is reasonably expected to be available during the period covered by the TIP.

Federal law requires that in order to be constructed, federally funded transportation projects within a

Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (MPO) Study Area be included in the MPO’S TIP. The FAMPO approved

TIP is incorporated into the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), which is submitted to the

FHWA and FTA for approval. The TIP, which must be consistent with the current long-range transportation

plan, identifies the near-term programming of federal transportation funds. Many of the projects listed in this

TIP, which are receiving federal transportation funds, are also funded with state and local funds. Projects that

are funded solely with local or state funds are not included in this document, unless, they are considered

Regionally Significant1. For a complete list of all projects and their funding sources/allocations in the FAMPO

Region, please refer to the current Virginia Department of Transportation Six Year Improvement Program

(SYIP).

The FAMPO TIP includes projects located in the City of Fredericksburg and the Counties of Spotsylvania and

Stafford as well as projects of multi-regional and statewide importance. To create a more comprehensive

project-funding document, the TIP also includes projects of regional significance that may be funded through

state, local and other non-federal sources. Inclusion of any project in the TIP indicates regional support but

does not necessarily indicate approval by an individual local governing body.

The TIP is amended regularly and TIP Amendments are posted on the FAMPO TIP webpage shortly after they

are adopted by the FAMPO Policy Committee. The TIP includes projects on the Interstate, Primary, Urban and

Secondary Highway Systems. Also included are public transportation, and alternative transportation (i.e.

bicycle and pedestrian) projects. The TIP may also include funding for planning and feasibility studies,

preliminary engineering (PE) activities, environmental impact studies (EIS), and other eligible activities under

Titles 23 and 49 of the United States Code of Federal Regulations.

1 Per 23 C.F.R 450.104 – A regionally significant project means a transportation project (other than projects that may be grouped in the TIP and/or STIP or exempt projects as defined in EPA's transportation conformity regulation (40 CFR part 93)) that is on a facility which serves regional transportation needs 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.

TIP PROJECT SELECTION OVERVIEW

Transportation projects selected to receive federal funding in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)

for the FAMPO Area must be consistent with the current regional Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) as

well as the Congestion Management Process (CMP).

The FAMPO Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) serves as a long-term strategy for transportation

improvement projects and strategies in the Region. The financially-constrained portion of the plan outlines

strategies and projects to be built using federal transportation funds over the next 20-25 years. The TIP

serves as the short-term implementation vehicle to the goals, objectives, strategies and projects contained in

the LRTP. Projects in the TIP can also come from the strategies contained in FAMPO’s Congestion Management

Process (CMP), from the VDOT Six Year Improvement Program (SYIP), corridor studies, or other studies.

FAMPO has two sets of project prioritization methodologies that it uses to aid the FAMPO Policy Committee in

establishing priorities for both the Constrained Long-Range Plan and the TIP. The Long-Range Plan

prioritization methodology is focused primarily on highway projects (widening, new alignments and

operational improvements) and is based on the collective experience of other Metropolitan Planning

Organizations and localities, the eight SAFETEA-LU/MAP-21 Federal Planning Factors, and the FAMPO

Mission Statement. It considers factors such as: congestion relief, safety and security, environmental impacts,

public and community support, funding and implementation considerations and smart growth/mobility. Please

refer to FAMPO’s Highway Project Prioritization Methodology for more information and the full set of

weighted factors.

While the prioritization methodology for the LRTP is focused primarily on large-scale highway projects

(widening, new alignments and operational improvements); the prioritization methodology used for selecting

and programming FAMPO’s CMAQ and RSTP funds (typically used to fund smaller-scale projects or to

jumpstart a project phase) has a number of modules for different types of transportation investments (both

capital and operating) that include transit/TDM, bicycle and pedestrian projects, ITS, intermodal connections,

and intersection improvements. Please refer to FAMPO’s CMAQ and RSTP Project Prioritization Methodology

for more information and the full set of weighted factors for each project category.

The procedure for selecting and prioritizing FAMPO’s CMAQ and RSTP funded projects is conducted on a

yearly basis and includes the development of candidate project lists for each project category by the FAMPO

Technical Committee (FTC). A numeric rating procedure is used to rate each candidate project. The results of

the ratings and project recommendations are reported to the FAMPO Policy Committee for funding

consideration. The results of the project ratings based on established criteria are the basis of FTC

recommendations. The FAMPO Policy Committee considers the recommendations from the FTC and selects the

final recommended list of CMAQ and RSTP projects in coordination with the district CTB member. The projects

are then submitted to the Commonwealth Transportation Board for approval as part of the Six Year

Improvement Program. Amendments to 23 USC funded projects, and in particular CMAQ and RSTP funded

projects, must be approved by the Commonwealth Transportation Board. This project selection process, as

outlined above, is consistent with 23 U.S.C section 134(j)(3)(5)a and CFR 450.330(b).

Ultimately, in the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) has the lead

responsibility for selecting and programming all federal and state funded transportation projects. In

Metropolitan Areas, the CTB works cooperatively with the MPO, VDOT, and the Department of Rail & Public

Transportation (DRPT). Project recommendations are selected from the TIP or LRTP (prioritized by FAMPO) and

submitted to the Commonwealth Transportation Board for final approval for inclusion into the VDOT SYIP.


Page 10

FAMPO COMMITTEES

FAMPO is organized into three committees – the Policy Committee, the Fredericksburg Technical Committee

(FTC), and the Citizens Transportation Advisory Group (CTAG). All FAMPO meetings are open to the public

and participation in the metropolitan transportation planning process is encouraged.

The Policy Committee (PC) is composed of two elected officials and the chief administrative officer of the

City of Fredericksburg, and Stafford and Spotsylvania Counties. Representatives from the Potomac and

Rappahannock Transportation Commission (PRTC) along with the Virginia Department of Transportation,

designated by Virginia’s Secretary of Transportation, also serve as voting members. Non-voting members

include representatives from Caroline and King George Counties, the Federal Highway Administration, the

Federal Transit Administration, the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation, the Virginia

Department of Aviation, the chair of the Citizens Transportation Advisory Group and the Commonwealth

Transportation Board member for the Fredericksburg District.

The FAMPO Technical Committee (FTC) is responsible for facilitating the technical portions of the “3-C”

(continuing, comprehensive & cooperative) metropolitan planning process and uses its technical expertise to

develop recommendations to assist the Policy Committee in the transportation planning decision-making

process for the FAMPO Study Area. The Technical Committee consists of staff from the City of Fredericksburg,

and Stafford and Spotsylvania Counties, and regional, state and federal transportation agencies.

Representatives from Caroline and King George Counties and the Federal Highway Administration serve as

non-voting members on the Technical Committee as well.

The Citizens Transportation Advisory Group (CTAG) serves as FAMPO’s primary public outreach

mechanism. Membership is comprised of citizens representing the three FAMPO jurisdictions and at-large

members representing various groups and/or organizations with an interest in transportation. The Policy

Committee appoints each member for a one-year term. The purpose of the CTAG is to provide comments,

advice and recommendations to both the Policy and Technical Committees regarding transportation planning

issues.


Page 11

PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT

Public involvement is a critical element of all planning that is done in the George Washington Region. Such

involvement ensures that the planning process conforms to the visions, goals, and objectives of the region.

FAMPO seeks active and meaningful involvement of the public and interested parties in the development and

update of transportation plans and programs, including the TIP.

Federal laws require the metropolitan planning process to be an open process and to provide opportunities

for the public to participate. All FAMPO Policy Committee, FAMPO Technical Committee (FTC), and Citizens

Transportation Advisory Group (CTAG) meetings are open to the public. Public comment periods are held

during each of these meetings for citizens and other interested parties to comment on the TIP and other

transportation matters.

The MPO’s Public Participation Plan (PPP) provides guidelines and strategies on how the public and interested

stakeholders will be involved in the development of the TIP. As directed by the FAMPO Public Participation

Plan, a 30-day public comment period and a public hearing are held prior to adopting a new TIP, and are

also held for major amendments that may be made to the TIP.

Complete documentation of all the public participation efforts completed for the FY2018-2021 TIP can be

found on the FAMPO TIP webpage.

AIR QUALITY PLANNING AND TRANSPORTATION CONFORMITY

Effective June 15, 2004, the EPA classified the City of Fredericksburg and the Counties of Spotsylvania and

Stafford as a moderate ozone nonattainment area under the 8-hour Ozone National Ambient Air Quality

Standard (NAAQS). Subsequently, and based on an improvement in ozone monitoring data, the

Fredericksburg ozone nonattainment area was re-designated into attainment with the 8-hour ozone standard

effective January 23, 2006. At that time, a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision, including a maintenance

plan, was approved outlining how the region would continue to attain the 8-hour ozone standard over the

next ten-year period. Included in the maintenance plan are Motor Vehicle Emissions Budgets (MVEBs) to be

used in transportation conformity determinations. Transportation conformity using the new MVEBs was last

demonstrated on the Region’s Fiscal Years 2012-2018 TIP and 2040 LRTP, and approved by the Federal

Highway Administration (FHWA), on March 29, 2016.

Prior to 2004, FAMPO’s air quality planning activities had been limited to Stafford County’s inclusion in the

Northern VA-DC-MD severe 1-hour ozone nonattainment area. In order to comply with the transportation

conformity regulations, FAMPO and the National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board (TPB) entered

into an agreement to submit descriptions of Stafford’s transportation projects to the TPB, so that they could be

evaluated for conformity review. The 1-hour ozone standard, however, was superseded by the 8-hour ozone

standard, and 2005 was the last year in which the Stafford project descriptions were required to be

submitted to the TPB. However, coordination with TPB on air quality issues continues today.

In order to meet the EPA requirement that non-attainment areas be brought back into attainment with air

quality standards, a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision must be prepared for each affected region and

submitted to the EPA by the Governor. In order to advise the Governor of the most appropriate air quality

control measures to implement in this region, the George Washington Air Quality Committee (GWAQC) was

formed. At the request of the governing bodies of the FAMPO local jurisdictions, the elected officials serving

on FAMPO were also appointed to the GWAQC. Air quality personnel from the Virginia Department of

Environmental Quality (VDEQ) serve as staff to the GWAQC.

In July 2011 FAMPO endorsed an updated 8-hour ozone Maintenance Plan containing revised motor vehicle

emissions budgets that were created with EPA’s new mobile model called MOVES. EPA issued a final

approval of the updated Maintenance Plan on October 29, 2012.

In August 2004, FAMPO approved Interagency Consultation Procedures to address the consultation

requirements in the federal transportation conformity rule. These procedures also outline the membership of

the Interagency Consultation Group (ICG), an entity that convenes to approve the models, methods, and

assumptions that are used in regional transportation conformity determinations.


Page 13

The transportation conformity rule requires that all transportation projects identified in FAMPO’s TIP and LRTP

be shown to conform prior to final approval and adoption. Only those projects determined to be regionally

significant need to be explicitly included in the regional emissions analysis and modeled for conformity. The

VDOT Environmental Division, utilizing project information and data approved by FAMPO and the ICG,

prepare each conformity analysis on FAMPO’s TIP and LRTP and present the results for FAMPO approval.

FAMPO’s TIP and LRTP have been found to conform on each occasion that conformity was run, and federal

conformity findings were subsequently issued by FHWA. Any new or amended TIP or LRTP that adds or

deletes regionally significant projects will be required to undergo a new conformity review as well.

On May 21, 2012, EPA finalized a rule that designated the Fredericksburg region as in attainment for the

2008 ozone standard and revoked the 1997 ozone standard for purposes of transportation conformity. The

attainment designation with the 2008 ozone standard became effective July 20, 2012, and the revocation of

the 1997 ozone standard for transportation conformity purposes became effective on July 20, 2013. As a

result, transportation conformity requirements are not currently applicable in the Fredericksburg region.

PROJECT SUMMARY

Detailed project information appears for each project that currently receives federal funding through the Six-

Year Improvement Program. The detailed information for each of these projects appears in chart format and

is provided to the MPO by VDOT. Definitions for the numbered terms appear in the corresponding Glossary

of Terms table. Project information will continue to appear if funding is still necessary for miscellaneous follow-

up costs (e.g. utility relocation, miscellaneous bill payment, etc.). The TIP projects are contained in the section

that follows the financial plan section. The next few pages provide an explanation of the project sheet format.

Projects in the TIP are classified into the project categories described below:

Project Category Description

Interstates Interstates are four- to ten-lane highways in Virginia. Interstates connect states and

major cities. The projects listed in the Interstate section of the document describe

interstate projects.

Primary Roads Primary Roads are two- to six-lane roads that connect cities and towns with each

other and with interstates. The projects listed in the Primary Roads section of the

document describe projects on Primary Roads.

Secondary Roads There are 47,993 miles of Secondary Roads in the state of Virginia. Secondary

roads are local connector or county roads. These generally are numbered 600 and

above.

12 Match Most federal fund sources require a match of some sort; most often 80-20 (the

Federal Government reimburses 80% of the total cost). The match is shown in the

TIP in the obligations section for informational purposes. The match can come from

local, state or other sources.

13 Current and Future The amount of funding which is obligated for the indicated year of work. A


Page 17

Obligations funding obligation is the spending authority that a state can spend and be

reimbursed in each Federal Fiscal Year (FFY). An obligation represents a

commitment from the Federal Government to reimburse the state for the federal

share of a project’s eligible cost. This commitment occurs when the project is

approved and the Federal Government executes the project agreement.

14 MPO Note This section is reserved for additional information pertaining to a project. For

instance, should a TIP project be amended then that information will be included

here with details such as funding changes and the attached resolution number.

HIGHWAY PROGRAM FUNDING TERMINOLOGY

Highway Program Funding Terminology

Distribution The notification of the availability of federal funds, usually for four years.

The states do not actually receive federal money or project spending up

front.

Apportionment The distribution of funds to the states as prescribed by a statutory formula.

Allocation An administrative distribution of funds (often for specific projects) under

programs that do not have a statutory distribution formula.

Reimbursement Occurs once a project is approved, work is started, costs are incurred, and

the state submits a voucher to FHWA.

Contract Authority A type of budget authority that is available for obligation even without an

appropriation.

Obligation A legal commitment by the Federal Government to reimburse the state for

the federal share of the project.

Limitations on Obligations Known as ObLim or Oblimit, is used to control annual FHWA spending in

place of an appropriation. The ObLim sets a limit on the total amount of

contract authority that can be obligated in a single fiscal year.

Advance Construction (AC) Advance construction allows states to begin a project even in the absence of

sufficient federal aid obligation authority to cover the federal share of

project costs. It is codified in Title 23, Section 115. Advance construction

eliminates the need to set aside full obligational authority before starting

projects. As a result, a state can undertake a greater number of concurrent

projects than would otherwise be possible. In addition, advance construction

helps facilitate construction of large projects, while maintaining obligational

authority for smaller ones. For more information on the AC program, visit the

FHWA Innovative Program Delivery webpage

FAMPO TIP FINANCIAL PLAN

23 CFR 450.324(h) requires the inclusion of a fiscally-constrained financial plan that demonstrates how

the approved TIP can be implemented, indicates resources from public and private sources that are

reasonably expected to be made available to carry out the TIP, and recommends any additional

financing strategies for needed projects and programs. TIP projects or project phases are required to be

consistent with the metropolitan long-range plan and must be fully funded in the TIP. To the extent that

funding is available or shall be reasonably available, priority projects or phases have been

cooperatively selected for inclusion in this TIP. VDOT, VDRPT, FRED and the MPO have cooperatively

developed financial forecasts for the TIP based on the latest official planning assumptions and estimates

of revenue(s) and cost(s). The financial information is given by funding category for the projects listed and

expected to be implemented during the four-year period beginning Fiscal Year 2018. It should be noted

that only funding for the current fiscal years has actually been committed. Subsequent years are

estimates of funds that are reasonably expected to be available.

Some projects listed in the TIP may show $0 for planned obligations. There are several reasons this may

occur and include:

Project is complete; awaiting closeout

Project has funding from previous years

Subsequent phases beyond 4 years

Information only, funding being pursued

Project to be funded from a project grouping category 3

When a project shows $0 for planned obligations, refer to the MPO Note located in the final row of the

project entry. This will give insight as to why no obligations are shown.

3 23 C.F.R. 450.324(f) - Projects that are not considered to be of appropriate scale for individual identification in a given

program year may be grouped by function, work type, and/or geographic area using the applicable classifications under 23

CFR 771.117(c) and (d) and/or 40 CFR part 93. In nonattainment and maintenance areas, project classifications must be

consistent with the “exempt project” classifications contained in the EPA transportation conformity regulation (40 CFR part 93).

In addition, projects proposed for funding under title 23 U.S.C. Chapter 2 that are not regionally significant may be grouped

in one line item or identified individually in the TIP


Page 19

FUNDING SOURCES

Federal Highway Programs

The United States Congress annually appropriates the funds available through the US Department of

Transportation, specifically through FHWA and FTA. The Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act

authorizes $305 billion over fiscal years 2016 through 2020. Funding at FAST Act levels is assumed for the

FY 2018-2021 TIP update. More information concerning the FAST Act is available at:

https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/fastact/.

The Commonwealth of Virginia was apportioned $1,096,843,768 in Federal transportation funding for FY

2017. More detail on how the estimated revenues for the Commonwealth of Virginia will be distributed is

available in VDOT’s FY 2018-2021 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).

The federal funding summary tables (Table C) for the FY 18-21 TIP are located on pages 27 & 29, with

page 27 being the VDOT projects fiscal constraint table and page 29 containing the DRPT projects

fiscal constraint table. Table C summarizes the committed and estimated revenue amounts for FY 2018-2021

in the FAMPO Region. The table includes expenditures and estimated revenues expected for each funding

source and shows that the program is financially constrained by year. The financial summary tables are

based on total funds available, which include annual allocations of funds including state and local

matching dollars. These revenue sources are all reasonably expected to be made available and committed to

the project phase during the programmed year of the TIP. The following sections provide a general and brief

overview of the federal funding sources used by FAMPO in developing the TIP.

CORE FEDERAL HIGHWAY FORMULA PROGRAMS

National Highway Performance Program (NHPP; §1106)

NHPP has become the largest of the restructured federal-aid highway programs, with authorizations of

$22.332 billion for FY 2016 and $22.828 billion for FY 2017. The program supports improvement of the

condition and performance of the National Highway System, combining the former Interstate Maintenance

Program, the National Highway System Program, and the Highway Bridge Program’s on-system component.

NHPP includes projects to achieve national performance goals for improving infrastructure condition, safety,

mobility, or freight movement, consistent with state or metropolitan planning; construction, reconstruction, or

operational improvement of highway segments; construction, replacement, rehabilitation, and preservation of

bridges, tunnels, and ferry boats and ferry facilities; inspection costs and the training of inspection personnel

for bridges and tunnels; bicycle transportation infrastructure and pedestrian walkways; intelligent

transportation systems; and environmental restoration, as well as natural habitat and wetlands mitigation

within NHS corridors. If Interstate System and NHS bridge conditions in a state fall below the minimum

conditions established by the Secretary of Transportation, certain amounts of funds would be transferred from

other specified programs in the state.

https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/fastact/


Page 20

Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STBG; §1109)

The FAST Act converted the Surface Transportation Program (STP) into the Surface Transportation Block Grant

(STBG) Program. Fiscal year 2016 funding was $11.163 billion and FY 2017 funding was $11.424 billion.

Funds can be used on any federal-aid highway, bridge projects, any public road, transit capital projects, non-

motorized paths, and bridge and tunnel inspection (including inspector training), and planning. Although

Transportation Enhancements are funded under the new Transportation Alternatives Program, these types of

projects can also be funded under STBG if a state wishes.

The FAST Act (§ 1109; 23 U.S.C. 133(h)) eliminated the MAP-21 Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) and

replaced it with a set-aside of the STBG program funding for transportation alternatives (TA). 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 storm water and habitat connectivity. Fiscal year 2016 funding was $835

million and FY 2017 funding was also $835 million.

Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP; §1113)

HSIP remains largely as it was under SAFETEA-LU, supporting projects that improve the safety of road

infrastructure by correcting hazardous road locations, such as dangerous intersections, or making road

improvements such as adding rumble strips. HSIP is funded at $2.226 billion for FY 2016 and at $2.275

billion for FY 2017. The Rail-Highway Grade Crossing Program was continued through a $225 million annual

set-aside for FY 2016 and a $230 million set-aside for FY 2017, but the Department of Transportation

Appropriations Act of 2016 later raised this set-aside amount in FY 2016 to $350 Million.

Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Program (CMAQ; Section 1114)

Under the FAST Act, CMAQ is authorized at roughly $2.309 billion for FY 2016 and $2.360 billion for FY

2017. Eligibility was expanded to include demand-shifting projects such as telecommuting, ridesharing, and

value/congestion pricing.

CMAQ funds are used for projects that reduce criteria air pollutants regulated from transportation-related

sources. CMAQ-funded projects are geared towards the reduction of pollutants such as ozone, carbon

monoxide/dioxide and airborne particulate matter. Eligible projects include transit improvements, traffic flow

improvements, ride-sharing programs, pedestrian and bicycle improvements, vehicle inspection and

maintenance programs, diesel retrofits, travel demand management etc.


Page 21

OTHER HIGHWAY PROGRAMS

Emergency Relief (ER) Program (ER; §1107 & 1408(b))

The FAST Act continues the Emergency Relief program, which provides funds for emergency repairs and

permanent repairs on Federal-aid highways and roads, tribal transportation facilities, and roads on Federal

lands that the Secretary finds have suffered serious damage as a result of natural disasters or catastrophic

failure from an external cause. Under FAST, the Emergency Relief program is authorized at $100,000,000

annually for FY 2016 and FY 2017.

Ferry Boat Program (§1112)

The FAST Act continues the Ferry Boat Program, which funds the construction of ferry boats and ferry terminal

facilities. FY 2016 funding was $80 million and FY 2017 funding was also $80 million.

Federal Lands and Tribal Transportation Programs (§1119-1120)

The Federal Lands and Tribal Transportation Program (FLTP) funds projects that improve access within Federal

lands (national forests, national parks, national wildlife refuges, national recreation areas, and other Federal

public lands) on transportation facilities in the national Federal lands transportation inventory, and owned and

maintained by the Federal government. The program was funded in FY 2016 at $335 million and in FY 2017

at $345 million

TOLLING AND HIGH-OCCUPANCY VEHICLES

Performance of high-occupancy vehicle facilities

If the performance of a high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) facility becomes degraded (i.e., average speeds fall

below specified minimums), the FAST Act requires the public authority to submit to DOT for approval a plan

detailing the actions that will be taken to make significant progress toward bringing the facility into

compliance with minimum average operating speed performance standards through changes to the operation

of the facility. The FAST Act also allows DOT, upon request of a public authority, to grant a waiver for

compliance requirements in certain instances if: (1) the waiver is in the best interest of the traveling public; (2)

the public authority is meeting the conditions under 23 U.S.C. 166(d)(1)(D); and (3) the public authority is

making a good faith effort to improve performance of the facility. [23 U.S.C. 166(d)(1)]

Consultation regarding tolls

The FAST Act requires public authorities operating a high-occupancy toll (HOT), or low emission and energy-

efficient vehicle toll lane on the Interstate System and located in a metropolitan planning area (established

under 23 U.S.C. 134), to consult with the metropolitan planning organization for the region regarding the

placement and amount of tolls on the facility. [23 U.S.C. 166(g)]


Page 22

Interstate System Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Pilot Program (ISRRPP)

The FAST Act sets time limits for a state with a provisionally-approved application for a pilot project to: (1)

move from a provisionally-approved application to a complete application that fully satisfies the program’s

eligibility criteria and selection criteria; (2) complete the environmental review and permitting process under

the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for the pilot project; and (3) execute a toll agreement with DOT.

These time limits are—

One year for provisional approvals in place prior to the enactment of the FAST Act (December 4,

2015); and

Three years for provisional approvals subsequent to enactment of the FAST Act.

DOT may extend either provisional approval by an additional year if certain conditions are met. The State

must demonstrate material progress toward the implementation of the project as evidenced by: (1) substantial

progress in completing the environmental review and permitting process for the pilot project under NEPA; (2)

funding and financing commitments for the pilot project; (3) expressions of support for the pilot project from

state and local governments, community interests, and the public; and (4) submission of a facility management

plan. [FAST Act § 1411(c); TEA-21 § 1216(b)(6)]

Over-the-Road Buses

The FAST Act amended 23 U.S.C. 129 and 23 U.S.C. 166 to expressly address access to toll or HOV facilities

for over-the-road buses.

On toll facilities subject to 23 U.S.C. 129, the FAST Act requires the relevant public authority to allow over-

the-road buses that serve the public to access the facility under the same rates, terms, and conditions as

offered to public transportation buses. [23 U.S.C. 129(a)(9)-(10)]

For HOV facilities under 23 U.S.C. 166, the FAST Act requires any authority that allows public transportation

vehicles to use an HOV facility to provide equal access to the facility under the same rates, terms, and

conditions to all public transportation vehicles and over-the-road buses serving the public. If an authority

operates HOT lanes that allow vehicles not otherwise exempt under 23 U.S.C. 166(b) to pay a toll to use the

facility, the authority must ensure that over-the-road buses serving the public are provided access to the

facility under the same rates, terms, and conditions as public transportation buses. [23 U.S.C. 166(b)(3), (b)(4),

(f)(4), and (f)(6)]

Approval of Interstate System Construction Toll Pilot Program (ISCTPP) applications

The FAST Act allows DOT to approve a state’s application for tolling under the ISCTPP (SAFETEA-LU §

1604(c)) if at least part of the application was submitted before the original deadline specified in SAFETEA-

LU (i.e., before August 10, 2015). [FAST Act § 1411(d)]


Page 23

Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) Program

The FAST Act continues the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) Program, which

provides Federal credit assistance to eligible surface transportation projects, including highway, transit,

intercity passenger rail, some types of freight rail, intermodal freight transfer facilities, and some

modifications inside a port terminal. Fiscal year 2016 and 2017 funding were both authorized at $275

million/year.


Page 24

FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION (FTA) PROGRAMS

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funds and supports locally planned and operated public mass transit

systems throughout the United States. The FTA, through the Virginia Department of Rail and Public

Transportation (DRPT) funds entities such as the Virginia Railway Express (VRE), Fredericksburg Regional

Transit (FRED), and the Rappahannock Area Agency on Aging (RAAA). Transit is important to any urbanized

area. It provides affordable mobility and reduces congestion on area roadways, thus increasing the quality of

life in surrounding areas.

Transit Funding Programs

For federal transit programs, FAST authorized $11.789 billion in FY 2016. About 80% of the 20%

authorized is to come from the general fund. Please refer to the following web page for further details on

FTA FAST Act funding and apportionments: http://www.fta.dot.gov/grants/12853.html.

Section 5303, 5304 – Metropolitan and Statewide Planning: Provides funding and procedural

requirements for multimodal transportation planning in metropolitan areas and states that is cooperative,

continuous, and comprehensive, resulting in long-range plans and short-range programs of transportation

investment priorities. The planning programs are jointly administered by FTA and the FHWA, which provides

additional funding. FAST funds the 5303 Program at $108,141,510 and $110,347,597 for fiscal years

2016 and 2017, respectively. The 5304 Program is funded for $22,590,490 in FY 2016 and $23,051,336

in FY 2017.

Section 5307 & 5340 – Urbanized Area Formula Grants: This program provides grants to Urbanized

Areas (UZA) for public transportation capital, planning, job access and reverse commute projects, as well as

operating expenses in certain circumstances. These funds constitute a core investment in the enhancement and

revitalization of public transportation systems in the nation’s urbanized areas, which depend on public

transportation to improve mobility and reduce congestion. The 5307 program is funded at $5,075,160,000

and $5,174,110,000 for fiscal years 2016 and 2017, respectively. This funding is divided into three

categories:

1. Passenger Ferry

2. Urbanized Area Formula (5307)

3. Growing States/High Density Formula (5340)

Passenger Ferry receives a $30 million set aside for fiscal years 2016 and 2017. 5307 receives $4.509

million in FY 2016 and $4,599.68 million in FY 2017. 5340 receives $536.26 million in FY 2016 and

$544.43 million in FY 2017.

http://www.fta.dot.gov/grants/12853.html


Page 25

Section 5309 - Fixed Guideway Capital Investment Grants: Provides grants for new and expanded

rail, bus rapid transit, and ferry systems that reflect local priorities to improve transportation options in key

corridors. This program defines a new category of eligible projects, known as core capacity projects, which

expand capacity by at least 10% in existing fixed-guideway transit corridors that are already at or above

capacity today, or are expected to be at or above capacity within five years. The program also includes

provisions for streamlining aspects of the New Starts process to increase efficiency and reduce the time

required to meet critical milestones. The 5309 program is funded at $2,301.8 million and $2,301.8 million for

fiscal years 2016 and 2017, respectively.

Section 5310 – Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities: This program is

intended to enhance mobility for seniors and persons with disabilities by providing funds for programs to

serve the special needs of transit-dependent populations beyond traditional public transportation services

and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) complementary paratransit services. The 5310 program is funded

at $264.95 million and $271.21 million for fiscal years 2016 and 2017, respectively.

Section 5312 – Research, Development, Demonstration and Deployment Grants: This program is

intended to support research activities that improve the safety, reliability, efficiency, and sustainability of

public transportation by investing in the development, testing, and deployment of innovative technologies,

materials, and processes; carry out related endeavors; and to support the demonstration and deployment of

low-emission and no-emission vehicles to promote clean energy and improve air quality. FAST funds the 5312

program at $28,000,000 and $28,000,000 for fiscal years 2016 and 2017, respectively.

Section 5314 – Technical Assistance & Workforce Development: This program provides capital funding

to replace, rehabilitate and purchase buses and related equipment and to construct bus-related facilities.

FAST funds the 5314 program at $9,000,000 for fiscal years 2016 and 2017.

Section 5337 – State of Good Repair Grants: A new formula-based State of Good Repair program is

FTA’s first stand-alone initiative written into law that is dedicated to repairing and upgrading the nation’s rail

transit systems along with high-intensity motor bus systems that use HOV lanes, including bus rapid transit

(BRT). These funds reflect a commitment to ensuring that public transit operates safely, efficiently, reliably,

and sustainably so that communities can offer balanced transportation choices that help to improve mobility,

reduce congestion, and encourage economic development. The 5337 program is funded at $2,507.0 million

and $2,549.67 million for fiscal years 2016 and 2017, respectively.

Section 5339 – Bus and Bus Facilities: This program provides capital funding to replace, rehabilitate and

purchase buses and related equipment and to construct bus-related facilities. FAST funds the 5339 program

at $695.80 million and $719.96 million for fiscal years 2016 and 2017, respectively.

FINANCIAL ASSUMPTIONS

The TIP financial plan is federally required to include only committed and/or reasonably expected to be

available transportation funding sources. [In air quality nonattainment or maintenance areas, projects in the

first two years are limited to those for which funds are available or committed.] The estimates on funding

sources and costs are based on reasonable financial principles and recent information. The financial estimates

for both revenues and costs are given in year of expenditure dollars, and reflect growth and inflation factors.

VDOT cost estimates are from the VDOT Project Cost Estimating System. For projects not administered by the

state, cost estimates are developed cooperatively by VDOT, the MPO and the responsible local government

entity. Maintenance and construction program financial planning assumptions used for the FY 2018-2021 TIP

are consistent with assumptions and distribution methodology used for the 2045 LRTP.

Project funding is shifted and added to the TIP frequently in the form of TIP Amendments. For the most up-to-

date information, please consult FAMPO’s TIP webpage for the lasted TIP document as well as TIP

Amendments.

CALL TO ORDER The FAMPO Technical Committee meeting was called to order at 9:30 a.m. by Chair, Mr. Nelson. APPROVAL OF TECHNICAL COMMITTEE AGENDA The March 6th Technical Committee agenda was accepted as presented.

http://www.fampo.gwregion.org/fampo-technical-committee


APPROVAL OF TECHNICAL COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES FROM FEBRUARY 6, 2016 The minutes from the February 6th Technical Committee meeting were accepted as submitted. REVIEW OF FAMPO POLICY COMMITTEE MEETING ON February 27, 2017 Mr. Agnello advised that there was discussion regarding Smart Scale and the Policy Committee asked staff to look into some things which will be presented later in the meeting. PUBLIC COMMENT None DISCUSSION/ACTION ITEMS

a.) Commonwealth of Virginia Transit Development Plan (TDP) Requirements – Mr. Tim Roseboom, DRPT

Mr. Roseboom advised that DRPT has updated its Transit Development Plan (TDP) requirements for FY2017. Mr. Roseboom stated that the original TDP requirements were adopted in 2008, and any transit agency receiving state aid is required to complete a six-year TDP.

Mr. Roseboom relayed that between FY2009 and FY2016, 40 TDP’s were completed. Mr. Roseboom stated that all urban and rural transit agencies have completed a TDP, and the first round of full updates occurred in FY2015. Mr. Roseboom advised that there were three transit agencies that did not exist in FY2009 and these agencies completed their first TDP in FY2014 and FY2015. Mr. Roseboom stated that the agencies impacted in the Fredericksburg Region are FRED, PRTC and VRE.

Mr. Roseboom advised that FRED is close to finishing its FY2017-2022 update, which needs to be completed in 2017. Mr. Roseboom stated that there will be no delay with FRED’s plan as they already have a full project draft available and are not adding any new projects. Mr. Agnello stated that to remain consistent with FAMPO’s LRTP process, FRED would need to have the finalized plan submitted by November 2017.

For PRTC, Mr. Roseboom stated that the original TDP for FY2012-2017 was completed in June of 2011 and a full update is expected by FY2018. Mr. Roseboom relayed that the full update covering a four-year time frame for completion will have procurements begin after July 1st.

Mr. Roseboom relayed that for VRE, the original TDP was completed in December of 2011 for FY2013-2018, and a full update will be due in FY2018. Mr. Roseboom stated that mid-year plans and updates are discouraged.


Ms. Hoeffner stated that VRE has submitted the updated summary letter for FY2018-2023. Ms. Hoeffner advised that the budget process is beginning for FY2019-20, and VRE will be submitting this to their board in September with approval expected in December. Mr. Roseboom stated that as VRE has a valid TDP in place, an updated letter would satisfy the State requirements as well as the FAMPO requirements.

Mr. Roseboom advised that the TDP purpose is taken directly from the TDP requirements and includes:

• To serve as a planning, management and policy document for the transit operator. • To inform DRPT of transit operator’s capital, operating and maintenance needs. • To provide the basis for inclusion of an operator’s capital and operating programs in

planning and programming documents as State documents are still required to include: SYIP, STIP, TIP and CLRP.

• To provide clear understandings of unmet or unfunded needs. • To develop and track the progress of mid and long term visions for transit in the region. • To plan to continually improve efficiency and effectiveness of public

transportation services. • To be better prepared to respond to internal and external factors.

Mr. Roseboom stated that the TDP outline and monitoring now includes six chapters, which was reduced from eight. Chapter 1 includes the history and overview of the transit system; Chapter 2 includes goals, objectives and service design standards; Chapter 3 includes the service and system evaluation; Chapter 4 includes the service and capital improvement plan; Chapter 5 will be the implementation plan; and Chapter 6 is the financial plan.

Mr. Roseboom advised that the 2017 TDP update requirements and revised changes are:

1. Focus on minimum requirements applicable to small and large agencies – can add a scope of items that would be unique to individual agency needs.

2. Update eliminates duplicate requests from DRPT and requirements that are now being served by Transit Asset Management (TAM) plans – the new federal requirement states that if a TAM is submitted this can then serve as the TDP and will include one place to enter capital and operational expenses that will be linked to the SYIP.

3. Have a better understanding of unmet and/or unfunded needs as an unconstrained element beyond six years.

4. Have a ten-year horizon in place that allows transit agencies to use TDP in preparing for discretionary funding opportunities (a 6-year to new 10-year will have a fundamental increase – i.e. Smart Scale).

5. Rolling horizon makes TDP’s more useful for transit operators and planning agencies than document that sits until the next update.

6. Updates establish stronger linkages between TDP’s and Transportation Improvement Programs (TIP), Constrained Long Range Plans (CLRP), etc.


b.) Resolution No. 17-23, Directing that a Public Review and Comment Period be Held Prior

to the Adoption of the Public Participation Plan (PPP) – Mr. Paul Agnello Mr. Agnello advised that per federal regulations, FAMPO is required to adopt a Public Participation Plan (PPP). The PPP includes outreach strategies for the underserved populations, and the Title VI Community Resource Directory was created in 2012. The PPP has been amended and requires a 45-day public comment period. (Mr. Agnello stated that most other public comment periods require 30 days). Mr. Agnello stated that the PPP will involve a three-step process and the first step is endorsement of the 45-day public comment period which will begin on March 23, 2017 and will conclude on May 6, 2017. A public hearing will be held on May 17, 2017. There was unanimous consent from the FAMPO Technical Committee to endorse Resolution No. 17-23 with a request that it be adopted by the FAMPO Policy Committee at the upcoming March meeting.

c.) Resolution No. 17-24, Amending the FY2015-2018 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) to Update UPC 101595 – Mr. Nick Quint

Mr. Quint advised that Resolution 17-24 pertains to the I-95 Southbound Rappahannock River Crossing project, which was selected for funding in Smart Scale. Mr. Quint stated that this TIP amendment will add funding for the I-95 bridges over US 17. These bridges are slated to be replaced through the State of Good Repair (SGR) Program. However, SGR funding will not be available until a later date, and funding needs to be on the bridges in order to release the Request for Proposals for the project. There was unanimous consent from the FAMPO Technical Committee members to endorse Resolution No. 17-24 with a request that it be adopted by the Policy Committee at the upcoming March meeting.

d.) Resolution No. 17-25, Amending the FY2015-2018 Transportation Improvement Prgoram (TIP) to Update Fiscal year 2015-2018 Funding – Mr. Nick Quint

Mr. Quint advised that Resolution No. 17-25 is a housekeeping amendment involving 11 different TIP amendments, and for the most part, does not involve any changes in funding. Most of the amendments either add maintenance funding or ungroup projects, which was a request of FAMPO staff. Mr. Quint stated that there is one amendment which adds PE funding to UPC 105464 (Mudd Tavern Road reconstruction between US 1 and I-95). There was unanimous consent from the Technical Committee members to endorse Resolution No. 17-25 with a request that it be adopted by the Policy Committee at the upcoming March meeting.

e.) 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) Update – Mr. Paul Agnello Mr. Agnello advised that the recent 2045 LRTP updates include the following:


• A call for 2045 candidate projects to be submitted by the localities to Nick Quint by March 22, 2017. Mr. Agnello stated that there is no need to submit FY2017-2022 or likely FY2018-2023 SYIP projects (successful Smart Scale projects).

• The 2018-2045 revenue estimates have been received from DRPT, while VDOT (for highway/bike/ped projects) is still developing theirs. As for Local Transportation Revenues, those will be requested at the upcoming LRTP AC meeting on March 30th. Mr. Agnello stated that once the estimates are received, FAMPO will request review/approval from FHWA and FTA.

• Pending FAMPO approval on March 20th for highway and/or transit components, the I-95 Phase 2 Corridor Study will be integrated into LRTP AC in April. Mr. Agnello stated that it is not too early for consideration of I-95 corridor project concepts for Phase 2 of the LRTP process.

i. I-95 Corridor Study Phase 2

Mr. Agnello stated that the I-95 Corridor Study Phase 2 is part of the LRTP process and the plan is to build on Phase 1 of the highway work. Mr. Agnello advised that study effort will use results of the state-funded GWRC Transit/TDM Study that utilized StreetLight Data (this will be completed in April of 2017). Mr. Agnello stated that he wanted to gather input from the Policy Committee regarding the scope – initial input was received at last month’s Policy Committee meeting and additional discussion will occur at the March meeting - and that he wanted to incorporate both transit/TDM and highway improvements into the study effort.

Mr. Agnello advised that the Transit/TDM portion of the study was not included in the Phase 1 effort. Some of the objectives and motivation are:

• The Fred Ex project is moving forward, which will create additional transit/TDM opportunities for the FAMPO region.

• The I-95/I-395 Transit/TDM study will create some dedicated revenues for capital and operational transit/TDM improvements in the FAMPO region beginning in FY2019.

• There's a shortage of commuter parking spaces in the Garrisonville area which warrants study.

• There's a need to rethink transit/TDM options in light of several unsuccessful I-95 corridor Smart Scale applications.

• The opportunity to utilize results of the State-funded GWRC TDM study for I-95 Phase 2 efforts – State purchased StreetLight Data that can be utilized by any entity statewide, and this data depicts trip/purpose and is a more powerful database than what was used in Phase I.

Mr. Agnello relayed that the Phase 2 Highway portion gives the region the opportunity to re-think priorities as the following developments have occurred since Phase 1 was completed:

• Atlantic Gateway (Fred Ex) initiative is moving forward. • Concern about the “new” southern tail congestion resulting from Fred

Ex and the Southbound River Crossing project.


• Concern about the northern tail congestion resulting from the Northbound River Crossing project.

• Unsuccessful Smart Scale project applications that included the Northbound River Crossing project; the Route 610 Express Lane Direct-Connect ramp; the Mine Road Park & Ride lot; and the Harrison Road widening project.

Mr. Agnello stated that the Phase 2 Highway effort will focus on the following:

• Strengthening the case for I-95 projects for the LRTP update and Round 3 of Smart Scale. • Developing a phasing/implementation plan defining the interim steps to fully build-out the

I-95 Master Plan. • Fully understanding the operational “handshake” between Fred Ex and the River Crossing

projects. • Studying a potential express lanes extension to Massaponax. • Better-defining of conceptual solutions south of the River Crossing projects.

Mr. Agnello advised that the Phase 2 study will re-visit alternatives based on any and all new information. This includes a potential new interchange at Harrison Road; an improved interchange operation at Exit 126; a potential new access point between Exit 126 and Thornburg; and possible improvements at Thornburg. Mr. Agnello relayed that staff will work with the LRTP Advisory Committee throughout the process. Mr. Roseboom stated that as the I-95 Northbound River Crossing project still remains a FAMPO priority despite not receiving funding in Smart Scale, maybe consideration of smaller projects that would ultimately become a component of the larger project should be the way to proceed with Phase 2. Mr. Agnello stated that the next steps are to finalize the scope of work based on comments received at today’s meeting and seek approval of the scope at the March 20th Policy Committee meeting. Mr. Agnello stated that study is expected to take approximately twelve months to complete, in time for Round 3 of Smart Scale and completion of the 2045 LRTP.

f.) Smart Scale Update – Mr. Paul Agnello Mr. Agnello advised that approximately $6 million designated to the Fredericksburg District, as part of the District Grant Program, has not been allocated, and Mr. Connors controls that funding. Mr. Agnello stated that the region will probably have additional projects that will be awarded as a result of this additional funding resource.

i. Revised Scoring Results Mr. Agnello advised that adjustments were made to some of the Smart Scale scores around the state. The new scores were released on February 13th, and the FAMPO region had three projects that saw changes:


• I-95 NB River Crossing Project score improved from 2.45 to 2.91 (Mr. Agnello relayed that this was the largest score increase across the state; however, even with the revised scoring, the project still did not score high enough to be considered for funding).

• I-95 Exit 126, Route 1 SB onto Southpoint Parkway Project score increased from 7.05 to 7.20.

• Route 208 and Breckenridge Drive Intersection Improvements project score decreased from 15.66 to 1.43, defunding the project.

ii. Smart Scale Summary

Mr. Agnello advised that the I-95 NB River Crossing project met more than 1 of the project classification criteria and was in line with the VTrans 2040 plan that defined the need for the project. Mr. Agnello stated that there are some inconsistencies in the Round 2 process, and these will be addressed at an upcoming meeting with VDOT Central Office staff. Mr. Agnello stated that the congestion management category, which is the most critical measure for this region, has a weight of 45%. Mr. Agnello reiterated that the project met a VTrans 2040 need. Mr. Agnello stated that the VTrans model included both weekday and weekend traffic counts; however, the Smart Scale process only considered projects that resulted in weekday congestion concerns. Mr. Agnello estimated that in order for the project to receive a minimum score of 4.6, an additional $50 million in leveraged funding was needed. Mr. Agnello advised that as the Smart Scale program was underfunded for Round 2, and the number of projects submitted doubled, most of the projects that were funded were smaller.

iii. I-95 Northbound Rappahannock River Crossing Project

Mr. Agnello advised that INRIX data compiles vehicle speeds from local transport authorities, sensors on road networks, and fleet vehicles (such as delivery vans, taxis, etc.). Mr. Agnello stated that speed data from July to November was collected on comparable roadways for comparison. A macro was identified for the free-flow speed for each of the road segments, and heat maps were created that reflected the below free-flow speeds. Mr. Agnello stated that the INRIX data, which is real data (not projected), compared the following periods:

• A.M. peak period – worst 4 hours on a Tuesday-Thursday; • P.M. peak period – worst 4 hours on a Tuesday-Thursday; • The worst 10 hours of traffic congestion on a Saturday; • The worst 12 hours of traffic congestion on a Sunday.

The comparable roadways were the top three projects statewide that received the largest amount of funding:

1. Route 286 – Fairfax County Parkway; 2. I-95 in the City of Richmond/Chesterfield County; & 3. The I-64 High Rise Bridge in Hampton Roads.

iv. Summary of Special FAMPO Task Force for Smart Scale Input Meeting #1


Mr. Agnello advised that copies of the minutes from the Special FAMPO Task Force meeting are included in today’s agenda packet. Mr. Agnello relayed that the second meeting will be scheduled in March. Mr. Agnello advised that a final re-cap of meeting goals, objectives, concerns, feedback, etc. will be compiled at the upcoming meeting and the results of both meetings will be submitted to Mr. Hap Connors, Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) Representative, for his presentation to the CTB at their April meeting.

g.) CMAQ/RSTP Program Update – Mr. Paul Agnello and Mr. Nick Quint

Mr. Agnello advised that FAMPO leveraged CMAQ/RSTP funding for 11 Smart Scale candidate projects and the scoring results are:

• 4 Projects scored and were successful • 1 Project scored and success status is still to be determined • 4 Projects scored and were unsuccessful • 2 Projects were screened out from the scoring process

Mr. Agnello stated that the four successful projects resulted in $29.5 million in Smart Scale funding being allocated to the following projects:

• Stafford VRE Station projects for Brooke & Leeland - $22 million • Route 208 at Hood Drive - $4.9 million • Twin Lakes/Kensington Bike/Ped Connector - $1.5 million • Lafayette Boulevard at Harrison Road - $1.1 million

Mr. Agnello relayed that approximately 2/3 of the draft Smart Scale projects that are funded for the GWRC region are CMAQ/RSTP projects. Mr. Agnello stated this reinforces the important of leveraged funding.

Mr. Agnello advised that because CMAQ/RSTP funding is only guaranteed for the first fiscal year, staff cannot allocate 100% of the estimated funding for the remaining fiscal years because a reserve balance needs to remain on-hand should the total amount of funding change from year to year.

Mr. Agnello relayed that the allocation of FY2018-2023 CMAQ/RSTP funding needs to be obligated by late April, and the request will be submitted to the Policy Committee on April 17th for approval. Mr. Agnello stated that each FAMPO voting member (City of Fredericksburg, County of Spotsylvania, County of Stafford, PRTC & VDOT) can submit one new project. The deadline for project submissions is March 15, 2017. Mr. Quint stated that included this year is a project submission form which is like the one being provided for LRTP project requests.

Mr. Cole asked if other localities/agencies do not submit a project for consideration does this then allow another locality to submit more than one project. Mr. Agnello stated no, that each locality/entity is only authorized to submit one project. Mr. Cole also asked for clarification purposes if a locality can submit both one CMAQ project and one RSTP project. Mr. Agnello


stated that only one project per locality/entity, whether a CMAQ or RSTP project, would be accepted.

Mr. Robinson asked how this would affect an entity such as FRED. The locality for submitting a FRED project would be the City of Fredericksburg; however, a FRED project is of regional benefit to all localities within FAMPO’s jurisdiction. Mr. Agnello stated that he would need to get confirmation on how projects submitted by either FRED, PRTC or VRE would be classified.

CORRESPONDENCE: None STAFF REPORT: Mr. Agnello advised that Ms. Donley is working from home and recovering from her foot surgery. Mr. Agnello stated that Ms. Donley is doing well and hopes to be back in the office in April. MEMBER REPORTS County of Spotsylvania: Mr. Cole advised that the county has approved a study on the Route 2/Route 17 Business corridor. This will be a multimodal study that will occur between Benchmark Road and the Fredericksburg City limit at Beulah Salisbury Drive. DRPT: Mr. Roseboom advised that March 6th – 10th is Virginia Telework week. Mr. Roseboom relayed that DRPT hopes to have the Draft SYIP completed by April of 2017.
